❤ Customizable Skill Dice

You start the game with seven different skill dice - Athletics, Cooking, Deception, Music, Observation, Wisdom, and Wit. These dice represent your character's attributes and abilities. Throughout the game, you can upgrade these dice by arranging the sides in different configurations, allowing you to customize your character's strengths and weaknesses.

❤ Tactical Dice Rolling

During gameplay, you frequently encounter situations that require you to roll your skill dice to determine the outcome. The results of these dice rolls - success, tie, or failure - then have further effects on the ongoing gameplay and narrative. This creates a dynamic where you must carefully manage and optimize your dice configurations to increase your chances of succeeding at key moments. You must also juggle resources like cash, health, and "nerve" (a measure of composure) when deciding whether to re-roll dice, apply situational modifiers, or take other actions. Failing a roll can have serious consequences, but savvy players can sometimes find ways to turn even failed rolls to their advantage through clever resource management.

❤ Emergent Gameplay and Replayability

The combination of the dice-based skill system and the tactical resource management creates a high degree of emergent gameplay. You're presented with a variety of challenges and obstacles, but the specific approach you take to overcoming them can vary greatly based on your character build, the resources you have available, and the decisions you make in the moment. This promotes a high degree of replayability, as you can experiment with different strategies, skill builds, and playstyles to see how they impact the course of the narrative. With multiple possible endings and a variety of optional goals and challenges, the game encourages you to engage in repeated playthroughs to uncover all of its secrets and possibilities.

❤ Seamless Integration with the Game's Unique Aesthetic

The dice-driven gameplay is seamlessly integrated with the game's overall aesthetic and design. The visual style, surreal atmosphere, and eclectic musical score all work in harmony to create a cohesive, immersive experience that amplifies the quirky, unpredictable nature of the gameplay. The sense of tactile engagement and agency you feel enhances the overall sense of place and character.
