This is a very cool puzzle game that takes a simple set of mechanics and does a lot with them. It took me a minute to get my bearings, but once I did, I enjoyed it a lot! Keep an eye on this dev's next game You Are The Code. I played the demo on Itch last month, and it is an extremely inventive take on the puzzle genre that has a lot of potential!

I had a great time with Decipher the Deck! It feels a bit like playing Solitaire but with unexpected and twisted rules. I'd say it's 50% rule discovery 50% execution, and both parts are balanced and engaging in themselves. The UI isn't great, but it doesn't get in the way of the puzzles. If you've got a rule discovery itch and if you like the (short) demo, you'll probably enjoy the full game as much as I did!

Good puzzle game to explore! There's some interesting "secret" mechanics. If you're a puzzle game and card game fan give it a shot!

Great puzzle card game! Offers a rather good challenge and there's a complete community guide for the game if you get stuck (or you can ask questions on the discord). Definitely recommend checking out the demo to try it out.

For someone who doesn't play a lot of games or puzzles, this puzzle game has been incredibly fun and amazing. It's unique creativity has intrigued me, making me want to play more puzzle games. It's a great way to keep your brain active while deciphering the logic behind each level. With 70 levels, each one becomes more and more enticing. I especially loved the music—the boss levels give off spooky vibes, which is perfect with Halloween approaching. I highly recommend this game; it's totally worth it!
