Ranked from 63 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
The core mechanic is all about deception.
Cards are passed face-down, and the sender can lie about what it is. If you blindly trust a Heal, you might get backstabbed.
But if you challenge them and they were telling the truth,you take the penalty!
Even the AI will bluff and betray you.
You constantly have to second-guess everything, literally forcing you to Trust No One.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
no,but I've actually tried to make a card game before and failed, so I brought what I learned from that failure into this project:D
the sound effects by https://noisealchemy.com/home
Background music from https://tallbeard.itch.io/music-loop-bundle

Fun game! Really interesting idea, and I think you would be a REALLY fun physical party game. I just found it a bit confusing. Turns go too fast, with little to no animation or clear feedback on what’s happening at any time, although it doesn’t break the game or make it bad, just a little disorientating at first. Overall, quite a fun experience! Great job!

I had a lot of fun playing this game. Something that could be improved would be to add a lose screen, because sometimes I just went back to the menu and did not know how I lost... But I mean, for a game made by 1 person in 7 days, it does look really polished though, so it's alright :>
Great game ^^

At first I thought it should be another poker game, but a was pleasantly surprised! I wish there was multiplayer option, would be a cool feature after the jam.

Developer

Thanks for the compliment! I'm currently stuck on the P2P :D

It's a cool concept and a nice take on the theme. Good job!

I like the gameplay concept, where you can lie or tell the truth about the card types and effects. It’s a nice take on the theme. Good attempt on the design!

There was an audio glitch with the music that caused this really annoying buzzing sound that occurred like after 2 minutes of gameplay, not sure what that was about or if anyone else had that issue. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.

Developer

Thanks! I suspect the buzzing sound might be the NPC's card announcement. I'll double-check and probably lower the volume :D
