Open Secrets by Orion Playing Cards

I couldn't find a thread for this deck, unless I'm missing the obvious. But this is a Kickstarter that was funded towards the end of 2021:

The tuck box used UV-reactive ink, which is a neat effect that I always enjoy.
Metallic inks are used for the cards, including the card backs.
But as the name of the deck suggests, even the face cards hold some secrets, despite how they first look.
In reality the repeating patterns used for these designs hide the number/symbol for each card's value somewhere in the artwork, which turns the deck into a kind of puzzle, offering the challenge for you to find these on each card.
This is done with Aces as well.
Finally, here's the jokers.
The project was from Orion Playing Cards, which is a collaboration between Abundant Art Gallery, and Old Gravity (designer Bivas Bhattacharjee).
It was originally going to be produced by USPCC, but the printing was eventually done by LPCC.

Eventually it was made by LPCC, am I right?
