About
Welcome to the back rooms. Five venues, one rigged game and the only rule that matters: don't get caught.
CROOKED is a noir roguelite built on the world's simplest game rock-paper-scissors and its oldest strategy: cheating. Read your opponent's tell, palm a marked card or bribe the ref. Just keep one eye on the suspicion meter every dirty trick draws heat and the house doesn't forgive.
Cheat to win
- 20+ cheats peek at throws, distract the ref, swap your gesture, throw the illegal fourth gesture
- Every cheat raises suspicion. Get caught and you’ll lose health one failed cheat can end your run.
Read the room
- Every hustler has a personality, a pattern and a tell learn them or lose
- Five venues of escalating opponents, each boss with its own dirty trick
Bet on everything
- Wager on every match in the room read the table, beat the bookie
- Roguelite runs, permanent unlocks and a cast of hustlers to unlock and play
Win clean. Or win.
Matches resolve in seconds. The choices last all night.
