Visuals and aesthetics are the strengths of this game. It gets a bit repetitive after a while, but it has a lot of quality to offer for only 2 euros. The ending was special.

The story is a bit too cryptic for my tastes, and the root of the game is a simple over under gambling game with a gremlin trying to climb onto your shoulder, and steal your gambling machine.
