Really cool interpretation of the theme! The pixel art is really nicely done, I think a player sprite would be really nice to finish everything off! Audio was nice, game fits the theme well, and it's definitely one of the more creative concepts I've seen this jam! Gameplay felt nice and smooth, and being able to ban players or make them mods is a nice detail! Very much enjoyed this one, keep it up :D

The simulated Twitch/livestream chat mechanic where fake chatters actively troll, lie about coordinates, and guide you into hazards is such a brilliant, hilarious interpretation of the "Trust No One" theme! Giving the player full mod tools to ban, timeout, or mute toxic viewers like RandomViewer123 turns stream management into a super creative core gameplay loop that feels remarkably authentic.

A few UI polish, item rebalancing, and chat interaction ideas for post-jam updates:

- Chatter Coordinate Markers: Allow players to click on a chatter's username or message to spawn a temporary visual waypoint or map marker showing the coordinates they provided, making it much easier to cross-reference claims and spot liars.

- Item Balancing & Utility: Rework or merge the 4-direction Decoy with the EMP—or swap the Decoy for a manual map-marker tool that lets players flag cleared or suspicious zones so backtracking doesn't feel confusing.

- Lie/Truth Ratios & Onboarding: Add a brief introductory stage or UI indicator showing active chatter credibility rates so new players grasp the "trolls vs. helpful viewcount" dynamic right away before getting overwhelmed by chat spam.

Incredible concept, top-tier streamer humor, and easily one of the most unique jam entries! If you get a free minute, I'd really appreciate your detailed feedback and rating on my solo jam entry as well: /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953523

Very funny to play with my friends, we made sure to ban everyone who gave us bad coordinates 😂

Being able to ban/mod the viewers is actually really awesome and funny, it adds a lot to the gameplay too. Nice work!

I like the idea a lot honestly, having random chatters on the side is neat. Onboarding and UI are rough but nice, innovative concept!

I adooore this, it's such a funny take on the prompt i hope you guys find time to make more fun stuff like this in the future!

cool game, and creative take on the whole trust no one theme! I got a little confused sometimes figuring out who was lying or not in the chat, because there were like 3 lies and 1 truth at a time, but its fun to figure it out.

As a guy who constantly says chat. this is a funny game. I lowkey had a similar idea but decided to piviot. But this is really well executed and I love how you made a functioning chat. This game is extremely funny because of all the streamers in our lives LOL.  Really funny idea, and great execution.

Regarding chat, It was weird, becasue I was never put into a situation where I couldn't listen to both the lairs and the truthers. Which made it a bit hard for me to pick up on the fact that some ppl in chat were straight lying to me

THIS is SO COOL!! i didnt expect a "Chat, Am i Cooked?" for a game but now i have :) i like the art and audio! this is a really creative idea so good job!

the most creative idea i found so far while playing different games

yall owned it

Pretty fun! I think would be funny if the viewers also lie about having mines around when there's actually no mines around. 

For the decoy item that shoots in 4 direction, it felt like there's not much use to it compared to the EMP item. The EMP item just feels way more cost efficient for the number of mines it can potentially clear. The decoy item also does not work well when multiple mines overlap each other, I think those 2 items can be merged together since they essentially function the same. You could perhaps replace the decoy with a marker item that lets you place markets on the map so you can kinda know this area has been cleared, so you can backtrack if need to.

Loved the idea, randomviwer123 carried my run! A feature that you guys could add  are indicators that point to  a chatter's location they pointed to, maybe on the map if you click on their name!

Really good idea, and good execution! RandomViewer123 can die in a pit though (they lead me into mines three times) >:(
