Sketchy

A social-deduction party game for 3–20 players: everyone gets a secret word — except the players who got a slightly different one, and the one who got nothing at all.

Prerequisites

• Node 22 (.nvmrc) and pnpm 9 (corepack enable)
• Docker (for local Postgres + Redis)

Run it locally

docker compose -f deploy/compose.dev.yml up -d   # postgres :5432, redis :6379
cp .env.example .env                             # dev defaults work out of the box
pnpm install
pnpm dev                                         # web on :3000, api on :4000

Checks: pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck && pnpm test.
