How it feels

A tense, atmospheric game where you feel the mounting pressure of a simple guessing game with dire stakes, surrounded by surreal and Lovecraftian dread.

What players say

Players describe it as a gambling simulator combined with a puzzle game, but opinions are split on whether it is scary. The story is considered too cryptic by some, and the gameplay can be frustrating when losing bets.
