I love the differences in item animation between you and the dealer, like how desperately you use the handsaw and how you're forced into the handcuffs, meanwhile the dealer saws off the shotgun in one swoop and grabbing your handcuffs to put on themselves. Even the way the characters rack the shotgun has so much personality. It really gives the idea that the dealer does this for fun/blood and is in full control of the situation whilst you have much more to lose. Excellent game, would probably also be a fun multiplayer game!

But there's still blood when the dealer loses?

For the second round with 3 real shells and 2 blanks, it specifies that the shells are inserted in a hidden order, rather than an unknown order like the first round. This hints that the dealer can control the order of the shells for the round. If the shells were inserted randomly, anybody would logically fire the first shot upon the dealer, as the odds were a 60% chance of the dealer being hit with a real shell. The dealer places a blank first and a real shell second because of this, and it ends with the player not being able to skip the dealers turn and use the second shot on him as he didn't fire the shotgun at his own head.

Definitely a unique take on this concept! 1:55 More like "enter the mag tube." Guess they're technically also entering the chamber in a hidden order, but only after first entering the mag tube. Loading the chamber-first (as you would when using a fixed-tube gun for D-FENS) might be considered cheating in this case. 6:12 That's cutting through not only the barrel but also the mag tube and the magazine spring, thereby ruining the gun. It would still function, but only as a single-shot jobber, and you'd have to load the chamber directly. Shot pattern wouldn't be affected much. Damage drop-off due to the shortened barrel would likely be negligible. Also, if you trim a shotgun barrel with a manual type of saw (or a power saw for that matter, a band saw being the optimum choice), then there will always be one or more burs left on the muzzle which'll need to be sanded. Disc sander is top choice. Belt sander is second choice. Otherwise, a milling bastard (yes, that's actually what it's called) will do in a pinch.

I'm so glad there are more eras like that, like 2010 first horror games trend, or this recent one keeping the flame on, thanks to Mike Klubnika, Yames, and (many!) others like them. What a treat! :D

We already have a Russian Roulette VR game with cards/ items to mix up the gameplay. It's called Bullet Roulette. This game would be perfect for vr with it's gritty, dark, claustrophobic feeling. The simple yet terrifying face staring you down with no fear. And pointing the barrel of a *shotgun * at your head not knowing if it's going to go click or go boom. (Now a side thingy about possible multiplayer because I can) Yes, this game would be fun against other people. But I feel that would ruin the fear. It would be much better how it is on PC as it is for VR. Single player. However, if you were to add multiplayer the best way to do so would be *without* voice chat. As well as keeping your opponents hands hidden until they are interacting with an object. Almost dehumanizing them, making them look like *just another face*. Not some dude with his first headset looking to scream out your eardrums. When I see another player I don't want to think "This will be fun". I want to think "It's me or him". And a fun way to help with a me versus them mindset would be with the money system. Idk what you could do with the money, maybe you could buy faces, or skins for the items, or even whole new items. But give the money a purpose. And then at the start of each match each person either can put in a set amount of money or bid higher. And it would be winner takes all. Now I know what someone here might be thinking. "But what if you have no money?". A loan system, you can take out the bare minumum to play in a match. Then make them pay back the loan plus intrest once they finally win. And maybe a full reset system too where if you take too long to win a match or something and you owe so much money to the bank, ooh, actually I think a loan shark would be better fitting at this point. Anyways, once you owe too much money the loan shark sends a guy to kill you (now this is where we would tie into the mask/item/skin mechanic). The guy will kill you and you will now be in the body of a new guy, you lose yours skins, items, masks. But now you have some starting cash again to start playing! I should totally become a game designer 😎
