If you’ve got an interest in indie games then there’s a good chance that you’ve already heard of Buckshot Roulette by Mike Klubnika.
Just in case you haven’t, this quirky yet sinister first-person game is set in a dingy club, and you must sit opposite a strange character called The Dealer. He has a challenge for you…
Using a variety of tools, which The Dealer has access to as well, I should add, you must try and bluff your way through a deadly game of chance and misdirection. You see, there’s a shotgun on the table between you, and one of you is going to get both barrels.
Up until recently, Buckshot Roulette has been purely solo, but now there is multiplayer on its way. After a successful beta test, the new two-player mode is preparing to roll out on October 31, making this the perfect game to play with a friend this Halloween.
Finally, there’s a trailer to mark the announcement. Watch it below.
