Play as Fateme, a tired & desperate mother looking for a place to stay the night. You've boarded The Sailor's ship, and he offers you a room, if you play him in a game of cards.

Witness Fateme's descent into cosmic horror in Below Decks.

Rules here! (But the game explains them too)

KNOWN BUG! Sometimes the cards spit out random values, which can lead to locking you out of the game! Unfortunately, the only current fix is to restart the game. We will patch this asap once the jam is complete.

This project was made in seven days' time for The Eye Jam, and includes:

- All original artwork!

- Atmospheric sound design & soundtrack

- 3 unique endings for you to unlock

- And, of course, gambling

Really nice game for the time it was made in.

Only comments:

-Some of the logic/stuff going on from the dealer's side seemed instantaneous so was a bit confused to what was happening sometimes

-I got near the end but the game froze so I couldn't finish

Mine also froze near the end. The game said I lost every hand, even though I won several.
Despite these bugs, it is a strangely engaging game.

Thank you both for the comments! :) Sorry about the bugs affecting gameplay. We're aware of them, and will be patching them out once the jam voting period is over!

Glad you were engaged all the same, and I hope you'll return when all is fixed!
