About This Game

One table on a harbour quay. Up to six chairs, a glass of rum at each, a lamp over the felt. Pick a hero, sit down with your friends and lie to them out loud.

Pass the Verdict

On your turn a face-down card crosses the felt and you say what's on it. True or not is up to you. Every card ends in a verdict for someone, and verdicts here are not fines. Collect the wrong ones and the table decides how you go: poison in the rum, a knife in the back or the rope coming down. The last one alive wins.

At the table

• 2–6 players online through Steam: invite friends or open your table to anyone. The host starts with whoever sat down.
  
• Voice chat is on the moment you sit down, or push-to-talk on V. Mute anyone.
  
• The dead watch the rest of the match and talk only to each other.
  
• Offline practice against three bots.
  
• Six heroes of the port: the Fortune Teller, the Doctor, the Lightkeeper, the Mechanic, the Moneylender and the Sea Devil.
  
• Light up while you wait. The table waits until you've finished.
  
• After the match, see who lied the most and who told the truth.
  
• Interface in 19 languages.

Watch the hands, not the faces.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some 3D models and textures of the harbour environment were generated with Tripo AI and then edited and optimised by the developer. Some card faces and UI elements were made with an image-generation model and then edited. Some in-game text and the translations into 18 languages were drafted with AI language models, then reviewed and edited. The music was composed and arranged with AI assistance, then rendered with procedural synthesis. The characters' short voice callouts and quick-chat phrases, and the trailer's narration, were generated locally with a text-to-speech model (Qwen3-TTS preset voices). Parts of the store page text were drafted the same way. All of this was created during development: the game does not generate any content while it runs.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Characters drink rum and smoke cigarettes while they wait. Characters who lose are executed at the table: poisoned in their drink, stabbed from behind with a brief spurt of blood, or hanged by a rope that drops from above. The card game is about bluffing only: no betting, no wagers, no in-game currency and no real-money gambling. Online voice chat between players is not moderated; any player can be muted.
