Interesting game, I've never really played much like it. I think it conveys its story very well and the creativity of the idea really makes it stand out amongst the other games I've rated. I'm not really sure how I'd expand on the game but I think the quality of life changes mentioned in the description ("not subtitled and not skippable") as well as some more content in the game could make this a very memorable experience.
Nice game! Throwing dice and hoping for optimal results always are great. The narration is really fantastic, though I couldn't follow the story as I find it hard to keep track when there are no subtitles (but you already mentioned in your description that you are aware of that problem). I'm not entirely sure what ending I got, but it was enjoyable anyway :)
Very Lovecraftian, very Willem Dafoe-esque. Great storytelling
The game has a nice mood.
The gambling and push your luck mechanic is simple yet addictive. However, it was the narration that fully reeled me in. Very nice writing!
