Really cool game! Loved the artstyle, and as a fan of Narrative it was nice to get immersed in a random world even if just for a bit. Secret ending caught me off guard haha :) great concept!

Wow, absolutely brilliant atmospherre/visuals. Gameplay is of course quite similar to buckshot roulette, though I felt this was a little less strategic. The secret ending is also very cool and very myhouse.wad. Great entry :)

Great ambiance, really dark and scary looking which fits the game theme very well

Had to download the windows version because the browser version lags hard :(

Developer

Hey thanks for playing! Yes unfortunately we didn't have time to optimize the web version so its best to download the game or it'll lag during the first play.

Thanks for playing and appreciate the kinds words! :)

Is inscription like a genre these days? ;) . Really nice aesthetics, the dense horror atmosphere is incredible.

Developer

Well inscryption wasn't a main inspiration but it's interesting how many people find it similar :)

This is very well done in terms of story, mystery, visuals, and just general atmosphere.
:)

Unfortunately for me, I had a very unenjoyable run of bad luck with the coins.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something about how the mechanics work; but it was very frustrating to lose like 16 flips in a row.

Also, I think there's a bug with the stick of gum.
On the turn that I used the gum, all three coins went against what I bet on.

Developer

Hey thank you for the kind words and for playing the game.

We are aware of the random RNG for the games. We intend to fix it after the rating period ends and we can update the game ofc.

The gum upgrade guarantees that at least one of the coins will be what you bet on and 2 others are random.

Till then I'd suggest going faster on the rounds betting all your coins, you will get the win after a few rounds for sure!

Cheers and thanks again for playing :)
