How does the game fit the theme?
LIEJACK turns “Trust No One” into a blackjack investigation game. Seven strange dealers may secretly alter the rules, card values, payouts, or outcomes of each table. Players must question every result, identify the anomaly, and submit a report before running out of chips or making three mistakes. In this casino, you cannot even trust the rules.

Really like the visuals, especially all the visual effects of the opponents. The rules are easy to understand and get into. Liked the twist on blackjack mechanics and turned it into something that fits the theme. Nice job on the game!
Cool and atmospheric game, very nice!
Fun game. loved the atmosphere. Simple yet effective. Nothing to say in terms of feedback.
The Inscryption-style vibe, eerie atmosphere, and polished card presentation are fantastic—having the eyes track the mouse cursor and dealers actively lying about rules are brilliant touches! Combining classic Blackjack with sleuthing makes for an exceptionally strong core loop.
A few areas to refine for maximum clarity:
- Investigation Feedback: Make the cheating clues a bit more explicit so accusing the dealer feels less like a 50/50 coin flip and more like a deduction.
- Dialogue Logic: Streamline the tutorial prompts (e.g., the first prompt asks if you want an explanation, but the follow-up asks if you already know the rules, which can trip up players clicking quickly).
Overall, super impressive polish and game feel! Whenever you get a chance, we'd love to get your thoughts on our jam project as well: /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953523
This is a cool concept love the visuals! I think you really need more clues as to what the dealer is cheating. I am not going to down rate it because maybe that's a me problem. The investigation mechanic feels like a coin flip at times as to which is correct. More clues would have made it fun for me personally. Going to give this a 5/5 because has high potential!
Blackjack with a twist! The eyes were scary ! Great job!
I really like the concept of classic blackjack with a slight twist. I appreciate the small details that show just how polished the game is!
Wow! So awesome! This reminds me of Inscryption! You're also welcome to try out our game!☺️🫶
damn I am not fan of cards but visual forced me to play it was great
Extremely cool game! 5/5
Absolutely incredible game!!! Nothing i would change about it.
Nice job blending blackjack and sleuthing. Being familiar with blackjack was helpful, the tutorial is a nice touch, and the game is intuitive.
Really great concept!
I had fun playing it and had to do a double check on some.
The only thing, the first character asks you if you want him to explain the rules, and the next pop up, asks you if you know the rules already. Didn't read the second one and just pressed the answear to the first. May be my fault, but something to keep in mind next time.
Great game!
I love the eyes that follow the mouse! The Blackjack gameplay is fun, and the fact that the dealer lies about the rules is such a great touch :D
The betting mechanic is really interesting, and the atmosphere is handled really well too. I really enjoyed this game!
unique concept! You managed to do an excellent job in such a short amount of time! The game looks polished and ready for a demo launch, great work!
I was confused about the investigation mechanic, but I love backjack so I had fun just playing it. But, maybe that part is for people smarter than me.

I really liked that! Amazing presentation, polish, and game feel. The concept was unique and well done. All the different characters added a nice point of interest, and I'm glad the cake wasn't a lie! I also really appreciated the tutorials (even teaching blackjack to people who don't know how to play). My only complaint is that you made me do math, and now my brain is angry haha
W Visuals! Cool game!
