Cards & Lies

A roguelike card-based Werewolf game. I must admit, this game was born from my love for "Slay the Spire". It was in a moment when inspiration and passion collided in my mind that the very first concept of this game came to life!

About the Game

Cards & Lies: A Galactic Deduction Frenzy

Dear player, welcome to a card world that feels both familiar and astonishingly new — Cards & Lies. Maybe you've strategized deeply in other card games, challenged yourself repeatedly in roguelike dungeons, or pulled off breathtaking bluffs in social deduction games — but get ready, because this is a fresh fusion you've never experienced before.

Yes, this might be the first game in the universe to combine these three elements perfectly. But don't worry, you already have all the potential to shine here — because every game you've played before has been foreshadowing for this moment.

  • Cards: Every card is your weapon and your words. Combine them cleverly to achieve unexpected effects.

  • Roguelike: No two runs are ever exactly the same, is my goal. Each rebirth presents a brand new puzzle, every choice leads to a different outcome.

  • Social Deduction: But this time, your opponents aren't just players behind screens — they're all sorts of aliens from across the cosmos.

Right now, a galactic-scale social deduction tournament is calling you. Top "players" from every star system have gathered here — some sincere, some deceptive. Your task is to find the truth through layers of mist — or become the most perfect "impostor".

Are you ready?

This cosmic-level battle of wits is waiting for you.

So tell me — in this ultimate showdown gathering thousands of intelligent life forms, will you become that "smartest cookie in the jar"?
