Overview

Dealer's Tell: All Bets Are Final is a roguelite deduction game that turns the blackjack table into a psychological battleground. Developed by MistaNonik and published by LLP Clerik Studio, this indie title released on October 14, 2026, and blends card game mechanics with detective-style investigation.

The premise is simple: the devil deals, and he cheats by a secret rule. Your job isn't just to beat him—you have to catch him.

Every floor, the dealer follows one hidden scheme. He might stop on exactly 18, turn up the card you were dealt first, or deal you exactly twelve.

There are 16 schemes in total, and the cards themselves give every one away. Each hand lands on your tablet, and you cross out suspects that the cards don't back up.

The game won't do the counting for you—if you want the numbers, you pay, and every check on a floor costs more than the last. When only one suspect remains, a screen drops from the ceiling, and you write down what he does and when.

Highlights

  • Roguelite deduction gameplay: Each run presents a new secret rule to uncover, with 16 possible schemes to identify.
  • Psychological horror atmosphere: Mature themes of gambling, deception, and supernatural elements create a tense, unsettling mood.
  • Full controller support and Steam Achievements: Play with your preferred input method and earn achievements as you progress.

Who It's For

If you enjoy card games with a twist, deduction puzzles, or psychological horror, Dealer's Tell offers a unique blend. It's for players who like to think, observe, and outsmart an opponent who plays by hidden rules.

The escalating cost of checks adds a risk-reward layer that keeps every decision meaningful.
