With selectable difficulties (the Dealer tends to shoot himself when there are only live shells left) and a few more clickable items, purely for immersion, I think this game could be one of my all time favorites. The style is unmatched in how the game presents options and mechanics as in-world/themed objects (e.g. the volume adjuster, the Pills for Double or Nothing). Being able to see a little more or interact with the environment only slightly (e.g. turning on the faucet only to run dirty water and putter out dry) could make for a really cool immersive experience. Would be so cool to see VR support too, even if its just point and click.
I’m talking exactly about that “the option to make the AI less intelligent, for less skilled players” part.
Buckshot Roulette is a horror game. The current difficulty, the AI’s unpredictability and the whole atmoshere make the game scary and engaging.
By making the game EASIER, you’re ruining the whole point of the game. That’s not going to work, and Mike wouldn’t do that.
