Seal them
in silence

Hushcast is a rock-paper-scissors roguelike. Read the sphere host's secret hand, chain wins in a row and seal them inside a crystal ball.

The throw: a big “FA!” flashes over the cards

FAQ

When is it out?

Soon. The prototype already plays in your browser: we play, listen, fix - and ship. No years of waiting.

How much?

Cheap, with no ads and no microtransactions. Discounts and promo codes at launch.

Can I get it free?

Yes. We hand codes to streamers and creators: free copies, discounts and promos for their viewers. Follow your favourite - or leave your email below.

Is it gambling?

No. No bets, no chips, no money: only gestures, hints and your head. Luck matters less than how you read the host.

How is it different from plain RPS?

You don't throw blind. Each host has a temper, their cards carry either-or hints, and wins in a row chain up. Patterns of wins are rituals - the big one, the Chant, multiplies the hit by five.

Where can I play?

Windows, Mac and Linux on Steam, plus Steam Deck. iOS and Android next. The prototype runs in any browser.

Which languages?

The site already speaks five: English, Russian, Spanish, French and Chinese. At release the game ships in every major language, each with its own rock-paper-scissors chant.
