Just finnished the game two times, not the same experience, still won on both two games but the items and actions are REALLY random,i love the artstyle, its the same that i see in a lot of good horror indie games and its a good one, i would love to see this game evolving more in his lore (with the fact of what you see at one moment it looks like a really interesting lore), i want more of it, i think ill play it again, please Mike, make this game the successor of Inscryption !
Game doesn't launch on Windows 7, but the "fix" ""works"".
Fix: As others have suggested in the comments, I ran it through command prompt by adding --rendering-driver opengl3 at the end, but this causes graphical glitches like permanently having the blood splatter effect on screen.
If you're not tech savvy, the cmd command is "start C:\[installation path]\buckshot-roulette\Buckshot_Roulette.exe --rendering-driver opengl3"
Without quotation marks and replacing the square parenthesis with the correct path in which you have installed the game. Keep in mind I also renamed my game to "Buckshot_Roulette.exe" since it was easier for me.
No, unfortunately I don't know the reason, but I've had the problem with other games, at some point I downloaded the Itch io app and it didn't say that
Creative little Inscryption-like that’s genuinely tense with great atmosphere. I recoiled IRL when I “shot” myself. Love how the game teaches you its mechanics little by little and then pulls out all the stops by the end.
I did get confused by the beer item’s description, and didn’t quite get what it does in-game. As far as I understand, you basically ditch the loaded shell; didn’t get what it meant by “the end of the round”.
Also, I thought that cigs should have been a curated item that both items get a set amount of at the start of each game instead of it being given to you at random. It means one side can basically cheese their way to victory if they get lucky. But I guess that’s the point :)
Since I saw this game something inside me forced me to play it. Early 2000's rave tracks in background, creep and unknow atmosphere, the SAW style machines and the Inscryption vibe.
Instead of buying a Pepsi, buy this game. Instead of a drink that lasts 5 minutes, buy this which lasts you 30 minutes. From the art style to replayability and uniqueness, I recommend this game and I see there was a lot of work put into it.
uh.. so if I’m not mistaken this has the potential to be a VERY good multiplayer game no..?
Like, the systems you have created here (aka the item system) is very similar to cards in a card game. Obviously some balancing may be needed but the potential is there. The difference is you’ve made it come to life with the atmosphere.
Id I’d recommend at least considering it. you’ve got something quite good here and I’m not the type of person to say that often
Games a ton of fun and has a great aesthetic. Only gripe is that the beers description seems a bit wonky to me. Think something like "Skips the next bullet in the chamber" would be better (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it does).
This looks amazing, are there plans or thoughts on expanding it? Doesn't seem needed but an RPG system/rogue lite system in the background to add game time or my real with, adding 1 vs 1 multiplayer as I would love to shoot my friends in the face with a shot gun. In a video game of course
A small detail that could be added with a patch: if after inspecting the chamber with a magnifying glass to make sure that there is a blank in it, then do not shake your hands during the animation of a shot at yourself because it safe. Same if you know what current shot is dangerous and you shoot to the the dealer because there’s a certainty of damage.
The game was excellent, thank you for this short gem :) But aw... when I saw Original Soundtrack link, I though I could buy the OST, I bought the game once more... Will the OST be purchasable? I'd rather have the OST available offline in places there is no network
The game is played in three rounds and only one of you survives, so there's definitely a proper 'ending' to each session. You can continually replay it in hopes of getting a higher score through luck and more strategic use of items (or, I guess, just surviving if you haven't done that yet).
it does have an ending , you play trough 3 rounds each round increases the amount of lives you have as well as potential gimmicks and if you lose at any round you have to start over from the beginning however there's nothing stopping you from replaying it since the dealer is AI and not predetermined.
in the third round there's actually supposed to be some sort of ending sequence with RETRY/QUIT options, so dying in the third round isn't supposed to close the game (un)fortunately
Very cool game! I saw video on YT by Alpha Beta Gamer and decided to buy it myself. I really like the game however I think it needs difficulty setting and/or making the AI a bit more clever. When you start round you know the numbers of live and blank shells. However the AI forgot the numbers mid-game and made a wrong choice (for example only 2 live shells were remaining but still chose himself). Other than that nice work! I hope we will see a DLC <3

Awesome little game, great atmosphere, very intense.
Hello! I want to play your game, but i from Russia and i can't buy it. How can i play this game?
Really fun and unique. this deserves to be an entire full game rather than just a simple 1$ experience. imagine this with multiplayer.

Very intense and atmospheric game.

Well, i'm from south america and 1.20USD it's a lot of money in my country so...

Any plans for putting this on Steam? I'd love to pick up there!
10/10 would shoot myself unknowingly again

These nitpicks aside - very, very good stuff.
Since I saw this game something inside me forced me to play it. Early 2000's rave tracks in background, creep and unknow atmosphere, the SAW style machines and the Inscryption vibe.
is just ALL the things I like in one game.
Instead of buying a Pepsi, buy this game. Instead of a drink that lasts 5 minutes, buy this which lasts you 30 minutes. From the art style to replayability and uniqueness, I recommend this game and I see there was a lot of work put into it.
Pls if u could make blik transaction it would be great!
ps. from youtube gameplay game is fire
uh.. so if I’m not mistaken this has the potential to be a VERY good multiplayer game no..?

i would LOVE multiplayer with this game
I got several moments of real tension with this game. Impressive. Congratulations, Mike!
There's a secret in the game.
Games a ton of fun and has a great aesthetic. Only gripe is that the beers description seems a bit wonky to me. Think something like "Skips the next bullet in the chamber" would be better (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it does).
great game! a fun experience with great atmosphere. will Definity be replaying this one for a while!
The exe file doesn't work any ideas?
Hey sorry to hear that! Did you extract the .zip before opening it?
yep gives a black screen for a few seconds and just closed down, using zip
Same issue here unfortunately
same problem,have you found something to repair it?
I actually did nothing as i just deleted the game and unzipped it after a while and it started working like it never had any issues.
game wont even open. at all
Hey sorry to hear that! Did you extract the .zip before opening it?
I extracted it but from rar so i think it could be the rar issue
My Anti-virus blocks the game, maybe yours too
It doesnt even open even if i turned off
the anti virus
it still wont open at all i guess theres nothing i can do i guess
Can you please send your system specs?
here:
Windows 10 Home Single Language
version: 22H2
And
gt 730
and intel core i5 4460 3.20ghz
i think i got too old pc for this.
i just think i got a too old specs maybe
Did you ever get a fix for your game? Having the same issue.
new video
BAM
Great game absolutely adore the aesthetic you chose for this and would definitely love to see more of it!
This looks amazing, are there plans or thoughts on expanding it? Doesn't seem needed but an RPG system/rogue lite system in the background to add game time or my real with, adding 1 vs 1 multiplayer as I would love to shoot my friends in the face with a shot gun. In a video game of course
that’s what I said. This idea has extreme potential.
A small detail that could be added with a patch: if after inspecting the chamber with a magnifying glass to make sure that there is a blank in it, then do not shake your hands during the animation of a shot at yourself because it safe. Same if you know what current shot is dangerous and you shoot to the the dealer because there’s a certainty of damage.
ÿes, please this i a great idea
The game was excellent, thank you for this short gem :) But aw... when I saw Original Soundtrack link, I though I could buy the OST, I bought the game once more... Will the OST be purchasable? I'd rather have the OST available offline in places there is no network
friends, I would like to ask if this game has an end, or is it an arcade in which I can play endlessly?
The game is played in three rounds and only one of you survives, so there's definitely a proper 'ending' to each session. You can continually replay it in hopes of getting a higher score through luck and more strategic use of items (or, I guess, just surviving if you haven't done that yet).
thanks!
it does have an ending , you play trough 3 rounds each round increases the amount of lives you have as well as potential gimmicks and if you lose at any round you have to start over from the beginning however there's nothing stopping you from replaying it since the dealer is AI and not predetermined.
But losing in the last round implies final death, since the defibrillator goes off, doesn’t it?
I don't know haven't died in the last round but i presume it sends you back into the bathroom where you get back up again?
I just checked and death in the third round closes the game. Which makes sense.
in the third round there's actually supposed to be some sort of ending sequence with RETRY/QUIT options, so dying in the third round isn't supposed to close the game (un)fortunately
