Chests that talk back
Each room hands you a row of treasure chests and a set of statements. Normal chests tell the truth, mimics lie, and it is on you to figure out which is which. One chest says its neighbour is a mimic; another swears there are exactly two liars in the room. Cross-check the claims, mark the boxes you trust, and open the safe ones in one go. Open a mimic and the run is over, so a wrong deduction costs everything. The puzzles are generated on the fly, so the logic never runs out: new rooms, new claims, new lies to catch, as many as you care to solve.
A dungeon around the puzzles
The puzzles sit inside a short roguelike run through a dungeon, about half an hour end to end. Floors hold monsters, shops and chest rooms, and the loot you win from solved puzzles is what keeps you alive: gold, gear and items that carry you toward the boss at the bottom. That turns solving into a decision. A puzzle you cannot crack can be skipped by moving on, but skip too many and you arrive at the monsters too poor to fight them. Some floors hide a genuinely unsolvable puzzle, and items exist to unblock exactly those. Solve, spend, and push deeper.
How hard is it, really?
What keeps you coming back after the first few runs?
Runs are short, and finishing them earns Adventure Points that permanently level up your character, so even a failed run moves something forward. Clearing the main game unlocks further modes with new rules: one where a truthful chest still robs your gold if you pick it, one built on numeric hints about mimic locations, and harder twists beyond that. Since every puzzle is generated, the supply does not dry up, and the modes give you a reason to keep coming back to the same basic lie-catching with fresh angles.
Do you have to fight, or is it all puzzles?
There is combat, but it stays light. Battles use the gear and items you win from chests, and the game helps you along with things like an optimize equipment button that picks what you need without wasting durability. The puzzles are the main event; the fighting is what your loot is for. If you would rather barely engage with it, you can lean on the puzzle side and still get to the end boss, since you never need every chest, just enough strength to get by.
