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, bribe the ref, or break a finger to bend the odds. 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. Push too far and you're caught — fined, warned, or thrown out
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.
