Debtcraft - 10 minute Windows card-strategy demo

Debtcraft is a short Windows card-strategy demo about debt, market bubbles, and deciding when to cash out before greed pulls you back to the table.

How to access the game:
1. Open the itch page: https://tylortian.itch.io/debtcraft
2. Download the Windows zip.
3. Unzip it.
4. Run Debtcraft.exe.
5. Choose English.
6. Play one full run.

A run usually takes 5-10 minutes. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because this is an unsigned indie playtest build.

Please think aloud while playing, especially when:
- you first understand what cashing out means
- you decide whether to wait one more turn
- you see the final settlement screen

The main thing I am testing is:
What did you think would happen if you waited one more turn?

I am not testing whether the game has enough content yet. This is only a demo / vertical slice. I want to know whether the first-run decision loop is readable.

The reward for the Playtester

This is an unpaid indie playtest. One completed run is enough. Public criticism is welcome, and the most useful help is a short think-aloud recording plus any notes about where the cashout decision or final settlement felt unclear.
