A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to the Golden Jack

Inspired by genre classics like Danganronpa, Ace Attorney, Ever17, and Zero Escape, the story takes place in the Golden Jack bar, where The Owner has kidnapped ten people, poisoned them, and assigned them one rule in secret. They can disobey their own rule, but not the others, and their deaths will remove that rule from the game. They are forced to play until only three or less remain...unless you defy the game itself.

The first three chapters can be played fully in the demo, now available, and progress will be kept for the full release.

  • Up to 25 different endings along the way to the True End.
  • A diverse cast of 10 strangers whose lives you’ll need to unravel in order to survive, like hotheaded Poker, eccentric wordsmith Lime, grumpy yet humorous Vodka, and cold Coffee.
  • Face the Councils, gameplay sections with many paths where you have to change the minds of all other characters and conduct the discussion using the visual imagery of a pool game before the Tension becomes overwhelming.
  • A jazzy soundtrack with more than 25 unique songs, 40+ in total.

Releasing November 14

Probablemente soy demasiado estupido para entenderlo pero que tengo que hacer exactamente aquí? ayuda por favor

He visto a más de uno atascarse ahí probando todas las opciones, no estás solo lol La correcta es "No es posible"

Vale, ya vi lo que sucede en un gameplay, de alguna manera, al entrar al barman por algun motivo no me deja presionar el boton de terminar reunion, otra curiosidad es que el menu de ayuda justo debajo del de terminar reunion me aparece vacio y de ahi no me deja salir teniendo que reiniciar el juego, puede esto deberse a las especificaciones de mi pc? quiero decir va a un poco lento pero no se que mas o tal vez se me corrumpio el guardado? o tal vez simplemente me salte un paso del gameplay jajaja

No, me temo que es simplemente que esa es la beta del juego del diciembre pasado. Estoy esperando a tener la música que falta antes de subir la demo final aquí y a Steam. La buena noticia es que eso será este mes, la mala es que tu partida probablemente no sea compatible.

Mi recomendación sería esperar a esa demo y empezar de 0, puedes usar el skip para no leerlo todo otra vez. Han habido muchos cambios desde la beta, pero no tantos de texto aparte de corrección ortográfica. La alternativa sería venirte al servidor de Discord y ayudar a testear la versión final lol Tener más testers nunca está de más!

I am unable to proceed after the part where it tells you to open the barman to read the rules.  No menu pops up on the barman for me, and clicking the screen does not advance the text.

That version of the demo hadn't been updated since August, as I was waiting for the Steam demo release. I didn't know there was such a serious bug, though. Just updated it to the latest version, which includes some changes that haven't been announced yet. Thanks for checking it out and the feedback!

I downloaded the demo again and am still having the same issue.  I even tried replaying from the beginning in case my save file was the problem, and I still get stuck in the exact same place.


...I also tried the "Beyond Drunk" game to see if that would be any different, and I CAN progress past that spot there because the barman menu does display properly in that game.   

My bad, I assumed it was an old bug. I've made sure it's fixed now and it's now updated.

As an apology, I've included a new song that was just finished yesterday. Won't share it publicly until the end of the month, so it's a demo exclusive till then.

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!
