🩸 THE DEALER'S HEART — Beta is here (Patreon Early Access) (Patreon)

She's been waiting for you.

I'm thrilled to put the first playable beta of The Dealer's Heart into your hands — and for now, only here, only for patrons. You're the very first people to sit down at Yui's table. ♥

The Dealer's Heart is a yandere blackjack with a Kakegurui pulse and a horror chill. You don't bet chips — you wager heartbeats. Win them back, or lose them all and stay with her in the velvet room… forever. The longer you play, the less she pretends this is a game.

What's in the beta:

🃏 Real blackjack — hit, stand, double, and split pairs — against Yui, a dealer who loves you a little too much

🚪 A 13-round descent across three acts, with an escape-the-room door meter and 6 different endings to discover

👁️ Dealer tells, boss hands, cursed cards, and a cheating/"CALL her out" mini-game that gets nastier as her obsession rises

🎭 Hand-drawn Yui with six shifting expressions, reacting to every win and loss

🔊 Fully procedural horror audio — heartbeat, drone, swelling music, whispers — and creeping visual madness as she unravels

⚙️ Options for difficulty (Lenient → Cruel), volume, text speed, reduce-motion, and colorblind cues, plus an endings gallery that tracks your discoveries

How to play: Download, unzip, and run TheDealersHeart.exe — Windows only

This is a BETA — and I need your eyes. It's playable start to finish, but I'm still tuning balance and hunting bugs. If something crashes, feels too punishing, or an ending won't trigger — please tell me. Drop a comment here or in the Discord with:
