holy crap. this game exceeded my expectations. It turned a wholesome mindless game into a life or death situation. I will never play rock paper scissors again without thinking of this game. ❤️
This was such a cool and interesting game! Loved how you took a simple game and turned it into a high risk game! Will definitely be playing more to see the different endings! Good game!
Great game. I had to scream to dubbing it )
So similar to Buckshot Roulette and just as lovable!!
Loved it. Absolutely loved it.

yeah i'm stuck
SPOILERS
so I did the morse code with his eyes but i'm stuck at the passcode. i've listened to the announcer, I've looked at the table, nothing seems to work. if somebody knows what i'm supposed to be looking at then please help me

Here is a free guide! It explains everything!
thanks
nice game i loved it being a rock paper scissors enjoyer
The pixel art design, sound design, and announcers voice were all extremely well done. The pressure of wanting to win was tense and palpable. The game isn't creepy, but it felt uneasy and eerie. The gameplay was pretty repetitive, since it was just a spin on rock, paper, scissors. The best part of the game was the pixel art. I had fun exploring the different endings. Great job!
What a great game. Extremely polished!
Minor bug: If you get out of time but click again you get cutted but still proceed directly if it would be a new round
Ooh, good catch. Can't fix it any time soon as per jam rules, but will keep note!
This almost feels like buckshot roulette, a modern-ish twist on a old game, seems very neat, also i lost, suck to suck 😔
Seriously, this is super good. Hope it wins, for real!!! Reminds me of the RE7 blackjack minigame, and the Saw franchise.
The RE7 one was a huge inspiration, for sure :)
I could tell! I haven't bought it yet but I know what it is from playing the main game lol :P The morse code was clever. I was convinced that I would use morse code someday as a kid, I guess this is it :D
I've seen in the comments that there is a 'secret ending'-- is that just ending 4, or should I continue?
It's just ending 4, you're not missing anything :P

here we are then! i'm starting this blog off with your game, i've been putting this off forever and this finally pushed me to start :,)
Well played, I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
Trying to do ending 4, spoilers below
So far I've solved the puzzles and got a code,
The Morse code says LISTEN with 2 eyes next to it.
I think it's referring to "HE'S NOT REAL" written on the table, but other than that I've got no clue what I need to do from here, I need to find where to input the number code.
any hints/help would be great!
Edit: I think the eyes are morse code? guess I gotta do some studying
I haven't figured it out yet but there are buttons on the monitor (with your body diagram) and I think it has something to do with his instructions at the beginning but I'm too dumb lol
i managed to press the buttons using the thing you have before you take it off and get the morse code, but don't know where to input that one.
hint:
look at the eyes of the opponent.
won with only losing 5 fingers and my opponent got their brain ripped out
was wondering if anyone could give me a hint towards the 4th ending? (not too happy to admit ive spent the last hour trying to figure it out haha...)
spoilers:
found the morse code saying listen on the corner of the table and tried listening to the intro many times but still cant find anything that works
Nevermind i figured it out!! What a great secret. Definitely my favorite game from this gamejam i hope you win!
Linux Firefox, playing in fullscreen makes the in-game mouse lag 3-5s behind, making the game basically unplayable
Sorry to hear! It might be worth checking your browser, display settings (since it's only in fullscreen), and memory. The game does make heavy use of visual effects, but it shouldn't be that bad for most devices.
Amazing game! That 4th ending was fun to figure out!
This gotta win the gamejam fr
Very creepy! I got two out of the 4 endings, and I was also on my way towards the secret ending.
Spoilers below!
Genuinely, how do I get the password? It seems like it SHOULD come from somewhere... My first theory was that it was during the instructions, but the numbers I tried didn't work.
It definitely does come from something! You shouldn't have to guess what it is...
Wow, I found out the password! Now all I need is Ending 1...
I think I need to tie with my "opponent".
Actually, ending 1 isn't as special. When you get down to 1 hp, where you lose all your vital organs, you'll slowly start to lose consciousness. It's just another game over.
Good job on finding ending 4, though!
Definitely a high quality game! Keep up the good work! :D
Hello!, this game is great! I got into it thinking it will be a spooky game judging by your game history but the ending made it horrifying for me, it is short and chilling right to the bone, by the end of it my heartbeat was beating because I kept losing the sense of victory that I got from it though was immediately taken over by that gorey scene at the end... it was definitely a thrilling experience indeed, thank you for creating this game.
thank you for playing :D
Disturbing and good!
