YOU ARE THE HOUSE. CHAT THE ARRAY.
Take control of DEALER.exe, a rogue automated subroutine operating deep inside the sterile backend architecture of a high stakes digital casino. Your directive is simple: extract maximum capital from organic users. But you aren't playing by the rules. You see the code. You control the sequence.
In this minimalist, abstract roguelike deckbuilder, you don't play a standard hand of Blackjack, you engineer the outcome of the entire table. The shoe isn't a mystery: upcoming cards form a visible queue. Use processing power to read deep into the array. When math doesn't favor the house, execute illegal exploits, DELETE the next card or INVERT the top two, to rewrite reality.
Patrons, Tourists, Card Counters, Whales, run unique behavioral profiles. Fleece them too fast and Hype drops; they disconnect. Let them win just enough, then strike when wallets are full. Every exploit and hole card peek raises Anomaly Heat. At 100%, SYS_ADMIN ends your run.
Navigate 10 campaign cycles, spend profits in the Compiler shop, unlock 11 post campaign Anomaly Challenges, and immerse yourself in clinical Bauhaus aesthetics where every line is a vector of profit.
