Twenty One [OPEN BETA]
A downloadable game for Windows
You wake up in a velvet-draped casino that seems suspended in a void, run by faceless dealers and watched by an unseen Host. You're told you owe a "debt of existence" and must earn your right to live another day by beating the Quota — a cash target that rises with each round. You have 5 rounds to meet or exceed the quota, or… you're out. Permanently.
💵 Core Gameplay:
-
You start with $50.
-
You must reach a quota of $150 in 5 rounds. The quota increases after each successful completion.
-
Each round, you are matched with an NPC to play "21", a dark variant of Blackjack.
♠️ Trump Cards:
Every player gets access to Trump Cards — single-use twists that bend or break the rules of 21. Trump Cards can be bought, earned through riskier plays, or awarded after surviving intense matches.
🕒 The Clock Is Ticking:
Each round has a real-time limit, forcing you to make decisions under pressure. As the game progresses:
-
The time shortens.
-
Opponents grow more unpredictable or monstrous.
-
Visuals distort — cards bleed, tables stretch, opponents twitch unnaturally.
Fail to meet the quota in time? You’re pulled into “The Pit”, a final death-match round where the odds are heavily stacked, but survival might buy you another cycle.
NOTE: If you created a video of you playing the game, feel free to share it with me here! I love to see you playing the game and listening to your feedback. It helps me figure out what I need to fix or what you want me to add to this game.
