Lies Throughout
You have heard of a famous treasure being held in a cave, but a guard is guarding it, you can only lie your way out. Lie to other people and increase your lying skills to a extent that the guard will be fooled.
Movement
Basic W-A-S-D movement with click to interact with dialogue boxes.
Walkthrough
1) Approach an NPC, communicate with him, and get a mission/quest. You will (After accepting a quest) see a black square somewhere on screen, that is the marker follow it to proceed in completing the mission.
2) Complete missions by NPCs that they give, (Be careful they can lie too) and return answer them by lying or telling truth. Lying will increase your skills if they don't catch you lying. (Telling truth will increase their trust, if less)
3) Accepting fake missions (Usually sounding like spam) will lead to a life loss (Loose 5 lives and game is over) when reached to the marker. (Usually a blink of black screen)
3) Level up to 10 (Full bar) and lie to the guard to let you in.
[Spoilers from now]
4) The treasure was a lie, game over. Its actually not, If you see closely you will see your detect lie button in background click it to proceed.
5) Same as step (4) but this time it will be fainter
6) At either ends of the water you will see faint white ground, you can walk on that to get your treasure
7) Congratulations you won the game
Note: I am not this evil of game developer as this game portray me. I am really a nice guy :)

This was amazing! I did find some silly little "glitches" here and there though.
Please note; I break games all the time and love doing so! Finding glitches doesn't affect my opinion of the game whatsoever. This game was fantastic! ^-^ i even lost at first and played it again!
Ether way, the glitches;
Sometimes NPCs will be close to their quests yet still buy the lie even though they would probably know better. For instance, i saw a NPC's wife and Allan Mann head into the pub right next to me and the NPC. Despite this, he still bought my lie XD Another time, a lazy NPC was just afew feet away from the merchant, yet still bought the lie. Both of these are minor, but i feel are worth noting.
The only other glitch i found was alittle more major. One NPC apparently phased through the wall into the cave with the treasure. Here's the image with the glitch. (just click the word "glitch" and open up the image. I shared it with two discord friends first so i got the link from there.)
Hey, wow! First of all thankyou for playing almost an year and half old game from a GameJam!
Regarding the bugs/glitches, they sure are interesting and I would really improve/fix it if I update the game (which I will surely do at some point XD). As I said it was my first ever GameJam and first game I actually completed from start to end, so I am not surprised there are bugs in it... (Here's one game breaking bug if you would like to know, if in a mission you press space, the game gliches out and tries to end the current mission with some random dialogues...)
I am hoping I have improved in developing my future games and would love if you consider playing some of my latest games... The feedback for this game is greatly appreciated and it has certainly given me a reason to update it. Thanks for playing, cheers!
Oh absolutely! Tbh i only found this entire gamejam recently from a vid i watched lately when i stumbled across this game. I'll be sure to check out your content now! :D Always happy to play some games, and also happy to find some bugs - even if unintentionally XD
I really enjoyed!
