Tricky Gamble
A downloadable game for Windows
Five prisoners. No humans. One deadly game.
You’ve been thrown into a government prison where execution is inevitable — until a sadistic overseer offers you a chance at freedom. The twist? Each prisoner hides a mythical identity behind a human disguise. To survive, you must keep your true nature secret while uncovering the others.
Spend limited Time Units to move between locations, investigate, and build relationships. Gift items, unlock scenes, and piece together the truth. When time runs out, the final test begins: unmask at least one creature without being exposed yourself. Success earns freedom and a clean slate. Failure means execution.
Will you outwit the others, or will your true identity be dragged into the light?
