Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Demon Bluff” playtest version. The cards lie! In this single-player social deduction game, you’ve gathered all the villagers for a ritual to find out who is Evil. The Demons will lie and try to deceive you. Will you see through their bluff?
Demon Bluff unfolds like a hall-of-mirrors psychological thriller, blending the tense logic of social deduction with roguelike deckbuilding’s unforgiving loops. Each village ritual deals a new hand of characters—Villagers, Outcasts, Minions, and true Demons—each revealing clues or falsehoods that force you to deduce, deduce again, and sometimes sacrifice trusted allies. With every bluff decoded, your deck sharpens—until a single misstep slashes your health, and you’re back at the altar. Its compelling weave of dark fantasy art, razor-sharp deduction, and permadeath progression plants it firmly among the most intellectually satisfying solos since classic mystery board games. Demon Bluff challenges your reasoning, memory, and nerve—all without ever holding your hand.
