THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS
Libertine is a narrative-rich roguelike card game set in the bowels of an illegal underground casino, where the house always takes its cut – in flesh.
Face off a series of diverse characters in stressful blackjack duels, wagering both chips and the fingers off your hand. Each opponent you face is more than a set of cards. Study each of their personalities and playstyles, learn their tells, and read their intentions with each raise, check, and fold. Strategize, bluff and pray luck is on your side.
But no matter what, never forget – The house always wins.
THIS IS A W.I.P
At the time of writing (June 2025) Libertine is still in production. We’ve spent the past few months writing our bachelors thesis (some of us even using this game as a base for our paper), and the past few weeks we’ve spent getting ready for Gotland Game Conference 2025!
If you’re here from us pestering you about our website at the conference – Hi! We’re so happy you’re here! We hope you liked what you saw, because we sure are eager to keep working on this!

SO, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Our plans right now are to see what kind of feedback we receive from our peers, mentors, judges, and visitors at GGC 2025.
We’re going to regroup over the summer and keep developing based on what we hear, what people like and don’t like, and our own experiences/insights we gain from the event. We as a team are always open to feedback, and we strive to make our games as good as we can possibly get them!
A demo-release on Steam is on it’s way… Stay tuned to see how many people’s fingers we’ll get to chop off in the future!
