Buckshot Roulette

Bullets, Bluffs, and Betrayal—Buckshot Roulette Turns Your Living Room Into a Horror Show!

Story
The “plot” is a neon-lit nightmare: you’re trapped in a grimy underground club run by a grinning, otherworldly dealer who forces you to play a lethal game of chance with a shotgun. Lore drips from environmental details—bloodstained walls, cryptic graffiti (“THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS”), and VHS tapes hinting at past victims. The dealer’s taunts (“Tick-tock, meatbag”) and occasional flashbacks to your character’s sins add a sliver of depth, but this isn’t Citizen Kane. It’s a twisted playground where storytelling takes a backseat to sweaty-palmed suspense.

Graphics
Aesthetic: think David Fincher directs Saw in a 90s arcade. The club’s flickering fluorescents, pixel-art grotesques, and the shotgun’s gleam under strobe lights ooze grunge. The dealer’s morphing face (one second human, the next a glitching demon) is pure nightmare fuel. Downsides? Environments are repetitive—same rusty walls, same cursed slot machines. But when the screen splatters with “blood” after a misfire, you’ll forget to care.

Audio
A masterclass in anxiety. The dealer’s voice oscillates between silk and static (“Click… lucky again”). The shotgun’s ka-chunk reload sound will haunt your dreams, and the heartbeat soundtrack crescendos until you’re sweating over a 50/50 chance. Minor gripes: the dealer’s laugh loops like a broken record, and the “bullet chamber” spin sound is oddly… moist?

Gameplay
The rules are simple: load shells (blanks or live), spin the chamber, and pray. But twists like “trap rounds” (explode after two turns), dealer power-ups (“Double down—two bullets!”), and items (adrenaline shots to reroll fate) keep it fresh. Solo mode is tense, but multiplayer is where it shines. Betting tokens on others’ turns, bluffing about loaded rounds, and watching your cousin panic-sweat as you whisper “It’s a blank… probably” is unmatched.

Score 8 out of 10

Less plot, more vibe. The dealer’s taunts and environmental lore tease a deeper hellscape, but it’s really about the adrenaline of not dying. Perfect for meme-y headcanons (“What if the dealer is my ex?”).

Gritty, glitchy, and unapologetically ugly-beautiful. The dealer’s design alone deserves an award, but reused assets drag it down.

The shotgun’s click is the scariest sound in gaming since Resident Evil’s door creaks. Voice acting? Cheesy perfection.

A genius mix of luck and mind games. Bluffing your brother into shooting himself never gets old… until he flips the table.
