About this app

A scratch-card roguelike. You work the night counter of a House that sells luck sealed under foil. The quota is due by dawn. Miss it, and the House keeps you.

Every ticket is a grid of foil hiding cash, multipliers and skulls. Your thumb is the budget — stamina runs out long before the tickets do, so where you scratch matters as much as what's under it.

THE DECISION YOU MAKE ALL GAME

• Scratch a cell to 20% and you can read the fragment — it doesn't count and it doesn't trigger

• Scratch to 45% and it counts for real, skulls included

• One revealed skull halves the payout. Two void the ticket

• Cash out whenever you like. Only what you revealed pays

BUILD A RUN THAT BENDS THE ODDS

• 40 charms across 5 slots: reroll skulls into coins, drift sevens toward corners, make a graze count as a hit

• A warden calls every third night. Each one bends a rule you were leaning on.…

Version 1.4.3 · 2026-10-22
• Unlocks show up — anything new from the Scratchbook is guaranteed to show up in the first shop of your next run, marked as new. Charms and tickets you already own get that first showing too • Unlocks reach a run you already had going, not only your next one • The Scratchbook says where each unlock goes, and confirms when you buy one • VoiceOver: Cold Reading, Sniffer Cat and Filament now say what they show. Cold foil, the cat's pick and the glow are read on the square or card • VoiceOver: Circular Logic has a Ring action on every square Thanks to the VoiceOver players who wrote in. The suggestion box is in Settings and the pause menu.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
