What players say
I get the chance to do the thing I want to do all the time. Pull a shotgun and aim at myself; 10/10 would recommend it to everyone!

Simple, cheap, and insanely tense. Shooting yourself in the head with a blank to skip a turn and leave the live round for the dealer, that's the name of the game. The music slaps, too. Buy it without a second thought!!!!
This game is basically gambling, panic, and bad decisions in one package. Every round starts with "I got this" and ends with "WHY DID I DO THAT?" Simple idea, insane tension, and somehow I keep coming back for more. 10/10 would make terrible decisions again.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
