About the Game

Play a cooperative game with AI.

If you both cooperate, you will get satisfactory scores; if you betray, only traitors will get high scores. However, if you both betray, you will get nothing.

AI with a variety of strategies

Each AI has its own strategy.

You can copy your opponent's previous choices, or you can just betray them in the future if you get revenge once, or you can cooperate unconditionally or make a completely random choice.

Relationship with many players

There are several participants in a game, including you. Even if you've been betrayed a lot this time, it's not the end. Let's betray a player like a pushover and steal a lot of points.

A special magazine

Target the variables with a special bullet magazine. Take insurance against the other person's betrayal or overturn the results to get revenge on the traitor.
