About the Game

A first-person multiplayer card game of hidden roles, bluffing, and real-time shootouts.
Set inside a gritty bar, players sit face-to-face at the table, but no one knows whom to trust.
Play your cards, pick up your weapons, and stay alive. It's not just about winning… It’s about surviving the table.

🔹 First-person multiplayer with up to 7 players

🔹 Hidden roles and unique win conditions

🔹Distance-based combat: shoot players within range

🔹 Different weapons: grab, aim, and shoot

🔹Different types of cards: action, passive, trap

🔹 Voice chat deception

🔹 Set in a fully immersive bar

At the start of every match, you’re assigned a role:

  • Mafia Boss – eliminate threats and lead your team

  • Goon – protect the Boss at all costs

  • Cop – take down the mafia, no matter what

  • Rat – play both sides and be the last one standing

Each role has a unique win condition, but you’ll have to bluff, lie, and improvise to survive.

Alliances shift every second. Some players will have your back, until they don’t. Use voice chat, read the room, and figure out who’s lying before it’s too late. Games are intense and full of backstabbing. Victory only comes to those who observe, adapt, and survive.
