Golden Lies

Golden Lies is a trivia-driven roguelite where every Truth or Lie answer moves you left or right. Catch golden apples, dodge hazards, draft topic decks, and build a run strong enough to claim 20 apples before too many are lost.

About the Game

In Golden Lies, every question is a movement decision. Choose Truth or Lie to shift left and right beneath the tree, catch falling golden apples, scoop up coins, and survive a run full of hazards. Foxes punish hesitation, cats steal your hard-earned money, walnuts can stun you at the worst possible moment, and every missed apple brings the run closer to collapse. Between levels, spend your gold in the shop, shape your build with passive upgrades, and add new subject decks to the run. Chase stronger economy, safer recovery tools, better rerolls, or riskier high-value setups. To win, you will need smart positioning, clean decisions under pressure, and a build that can hold together through all seven levels. This is not a standard quiz game where the only goal is knowing the right answer. In Pino, questions create pressure, movement, and split-second tradeoffs inside a fast replayable roguelite loop.
