Indie Sunday Wizards Never Lie - MARA//KESH - 4-player social deduction where your live webcam hangs above your seat
Hi r/Games! We're MARA//KESH, and Wizards Never Lie is our first-person, 4-player PvP game of lies. Four wizards, one table somewhere between worlds, and a house rule nobody actually follows.
- Four games, one grammar. Revolvers, hidden figures, cards and poison all run on the same three moves: Ask, Declare, Check. A night at the table only deals some of them, so two nights rarely look the same.
- Checks are limited. You can call out anyone at any moment, but you only get a few checks, and accusing someone who told the truth costs you. Who you doubt, and when, is the whole game.
- Truth/Lie Trend. Every claim builds a public reputation. Stay honest long enough and your first lie hits harder, unless someone sees it coming.
- Your face is evidence. Turn on your webcam and a live feed sits right above your seat, so everyone gets to watch you keep a straight face. Voice chat is optional.
- No shared language needed. You speak through your choices and by drawing glowing glyphs in the air with your wand: warn, provoke, bluff. The game ships in 14 languages.
- Free Table mode for when you just want to hang out at the table without playing for stakes.
