## What is Mercyful?

Welcome to Mercyful, a first-person horror game of bluffing and nerve!

Two seats. One gun. Both racks of shells sit in plain sight, and only the choice is hidden. Across a table in a house that always collects, one loaded shell turns every hand into a test of trust, deception, and steady nerves.

Your goal is to survive nine Confessors, one table at a time.

The loader seals their rack and chambers one shell in secret. You decide: accept it, or send it back. Whoever ends up facing the barrel takes what was loaded. A live shell leaves a wound. A blank grants Mercy. Lose, and you face the same Confessor again. Learn the one habit they cannot break, pack the right tools, and the rematch is yours.

Features:

* Built for touch: drag to look, tap to act, and every control is an object in the room.
* Nine Confessors: from Robert at the first table to Morgan at the last, each with their own tools and one tell they cannot hide.
* Shells with a twist: later tables deal gilded shells that pay double and rusted ones that refuse to kill.
* Eleven tools of the trade: a magnifier reveals the offer, an inverter flips it unseen, a handsaw makes a live shell cut twice, and more wait on the bouncer's television.
* A house you can touch: a wall television, a locker of keepsakes, a rusted barrel that holds your Scrip, and a jukebox wired into the club so the whole dance floor moves to your record.
* Earn it at the table: win Scrip and spend it on tools, records, keepsakes for the table and the gun, and new frames and gold finishes from the armoury.
* Prestige: clear the house and begin again. Every Confessor hardens, and on the third lap the habits you memorized turn inside out.
* Take a seat online: Quick Play needs no account and never touches your rating. Ranked climbs from Bronze to Master with a free Layton Account that syncs your progress across devices.
* Seventeen Game Center achievements mark the long way through.
* Retro PS1 look: low-res, dithered, and CRT-warm horror.
* No ads and no in-app purchases. The campaign plays offline; online play and account features need an internet connection.

The blank is mercy.
