About the Game

After an unfortunate accident, you find yourself facing an ominous bartender in a mysterious place. As all good bartenders do, he deeply understands your life and frustrations (perhaps too well), and makes you an offer you can't refuse. How much would you gamble for a second chance at life in the face of certain death? Are you willing to risk everything, even your soul?

Strategize

Use your limited items to increase your chance of survival. And maybe even sabotage your opponent.

Pick Your Poison

Pick a glass, and hope it isn't poisoned. You only have 3 lives, so make them count.

Last Man Standing

Take turns with the bartender until someone runs out of lives. Don't let it be you.

Redeem Yourself in Story Mode

Play as a down-on-your-luck character in Story Mode and help him avoid a terrible fate. And maybe even achieve something greater. 10-15 minutes of mystery with more questions than answers.
