About Turncloak
Turncloak is a chess variant for iOS where strategy meets betrayal. Every 2nd turn, an AI takes control of one of your pieces — and it can capture its own side. Your court turns against you. No memorization protects you. Pure tactical thinking, every game.
Developed by Joey Gudenas / Visual Person LLC. Built in SwiftUI with a custom chess engine. Available free on the App Store with a one-time $4.99 Premium upgrade.
