Players face off one on one at a dinner table, poisoning their own plate, placing three plates on a tray, and passing it to the opponent. A Steam version is planned later. The demo covers one match, from appetizer to conclusion, and supports online versus play.","whyItMatters":"An individually developed poisoning duel that ships its versus mode inside the free demo gives the small-scale multiplayer premise an audience before the full version's custom rules are built.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe premise runs on inheritance rather than combat. The protagonist\u0026#39;s great-uncle, a relative they never met, dies and leaves a name in the will; taking the house clears their debts. What waits at the mansion is a poison-tasting standoff.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach side poisons its own plate and lays three plates on a tray. Whoever receives it eats one and forces the other to eat another. Tools include a silver spoon, a scale that weighs poison across two plates, a butler\u0026#39;s whisper reporting how many plates are poisoned, and a seal that blocks the opponent\u0026#39;s items. Both hands are visible.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"POISONED bets its whole demo on one dinner-table match, appetizer to finish. The trick is that the poisoner picks a plate for themselves too, so passing the tray is a guess about which plate the opponent already tainted.","twitterPost":"POISONED hands online versus to a demo built around poisoners who must also risk eating from the tray they pass.","threadsPost":"POISONED gives one dinner-table match, appetizer to conclusion, and online versus on top. Developer Dan makes each player poison a plate that goes on the shared tray, so the mind game is whether the opponent reads your own plate as safe.","newsletterBlurb":"Solo developer Dan put a POISONED demo on unityroom and itch.io on October 14, 2026. The PC game is a one-on-one psychological standoff at a dinner table, where players poison their own plate and pass a tray of three for both sides to eat from.
