About the Game

Pale Lies is a dark, single-player social deduction puzzle where everyone wears a mask — and some hide dangerous truths.

In a candle-lit hall, a small group of NPCs trade cryptic statements about each other. Some tell the truth. Others weave lies. Your task is to listen carefully, analyze the contradictions, and execute every liar before they execute you.

With each run, the cast changes, the lies shift, and the challenge grows. Procedurally generated logic puzzles ensure no two games are the same. The black-and-white aesthetic, eerie masks, and haunting ambient soundscape create an atmosphere of tension and mistrust.

Can you read between the lines… or will their pale lies consume you?
