Cards Lie

Unmask the demons. Trust no one. You’ve gathered the entire village for a midnight ritual. Among them hide creatures of pure evil — demons disguised as villagers. They will lie. They will manipulate. Can you read their deceit… before it’s too late?

About the Game

Cards Lie is a single-player social deduction experience inspired by timeless games of bluff and betrayal — reimagined in a gothic, Burton-esque world. Each card represents a villager or a demon. Flip, listen, and judge who tells the truth… or who’s leading you straight to hell.

Features

• • 75 beautifully hand made illustrated cards — villagers, demons, and mysterious clues.

• • Procedural scenarios — no two rituals are the same.

• • Lies that evolve — demons adapt their deceit every round.

• • Stylized art direction — gothic charm inspired by Tim Burton and medieval engravings.

• • Atmospheric soundtrack — haunting choirs and dark ambient tones.

• • Easy to learn, hard to master — uncover patterns, analyze logic, and trust your instincts.

Gameplay Loop

1. → Gather your village.

2. → Flip a card and reveal a phrase — truth or lie.

3. → Use logic and intuition to eliminate the demons.

4. → One mistake… and the village falls to darkness.

“Not every smile is innocent.”

Will you see through the lies?
