LOCKED IN
A downloadable game
FOR THE SWEET AS JAM 2025!
THE LIGHT REVEALS
A simple game of naughts and crosses. Easy right?... Or not?
With the Warden surveilling over you with his peckish eyes, play against your prison inmate for a chance to escape the cell while avoiding the Warden's Sabotage. 3 Wins and you escape - except it isn't that easy.
Key Features:
Homemade
- All art assets and vfx are made in-house by yours trulys :)
GAMBLING!
- Gamble your hard-earned coins, predict the unpredictable and hope and pray that you can win.
Strategy
- Strategise against the warden and your opponent- play your cards and coins with thought, use them to your advantage.
Eerie Visuals
- In a dim-lit but well thought out environment, let the sounds and visuals truly immerse you into a tense game of naughts and crosses.
Gameloop:
- Left click to place tile.
- Opponent places tile.
- Warden uses his torch to randomly select 2 tiles to either burn or flip.
- Player can left click on card to play or right click to discard and earn coins.
- Opponent plays/discards card.
- Warden takes action.
- Repeat until 3 in a row is achieved!
Card Types:
- Shady Business: Will disable the Wardens torch for the next round (the card description in the game incorrectly says it will affect the current round - call this another of the wardens tricks!)
- Coin Flip: 50% chance to either gain or lose 5 gold
- Look Away: 70% chance that the Warden will highlight only the opponents tiles on the next round
- Tactician: Refreshes your hand. Gain some gold from discarded cards.
Controls:
- During the placing round, left click on the board to place your piece
- During the card round, left click on a card to play it (this will cost you money as indicated by the cost value on the card)
- Alternatively, right click to discard a card (this will gain money as indicated by the discard value on the card)
- You cannot play a card if you do not have enough money!
- You will automatically draw a new card from the deck after your card phase. If the deck runs out, you will not be able to draw. If you run out of cards, good luck - you’ll have no defenses or attacks and will have to play by the Warden’s prison rules!
