A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to the Golden Jack

A death game of 10 rules assigned to each of the 10 players, a mysterious bar, and 10 hours to live. You can only disobey your own rule. If you die, your rule is removed from the game, until only 3 remain. An evolving game that changes with every death.

But he won’t allow it.

Refusing to play into the hands of his kidnapper, one player challenges the game itself. 

Search for what’s beyond and overcome the system, or be eaten by it. But don’t forget...that you are no hero.

  • A death game visual novel where your main goal isn’t to win, survive, or find the truth, but to defy the game itself, the fate that you’ve been given.
  • Ten characters, each hiding one of the rules of the game alongside their pasts. Only by learning more about them will you uncover their rules and understand them as people, but will you pity them or...?
  • Search for clues hidden throughout the Golden Jack bar, complete your hourly objectives, and face the other players at the end of each hour in the Council, where tragedy lurks behind each word and your survival depends on where you decide to intervene and what to say.
  • More than 20 different endings to explore, with several paths to take.

This is a demo for a game in development.

At the beginning where someone says "it's on their hands" I'm pretty sure it's supposed to say it's in their hands"

That's correct, somehow we missed that. Thanks!

I found this a little bit funny, so here I am. You used russian word "Прохладно", but it isn't correct. 
You can use "Прохладно" when you're talking about temperature.
If originally you meant "cool" like "awesome" or something you could admire, you need to use word "Круто" or "Классно". I hope it will help you.

Ah, thanks for the feedback! Though in this case it's fine, the character uses a bunch of languages and part of the joke is how she isn't quite right at some of them. Not that I know Russian myself either, I just used Google, so when I wrote that one I knew that there was a chance it could be just for temperature, but that would just make it funnier if someone happened to catch it, which...seems it paid off?

Really intrigued so far!

Think I stumbled upon a bug (after checking out all areas but the bar - last checked was the Lime/Gin area - I couldn’t seem to progress to check the last area), but I am already pretty hooked by the story.

(One minor correction: I think you used lied sometimes when you meant lay.)

Best of luck! Looking forward to how this game develops!

Yes, that seemed to be a pretty common bug, but the demo has been updated to fix it. And thanks for the feedback!
