I liked the atmosphere of the game and the monitor effect! I agree with others about the randomness being a slight issue as the first playthrough seemed to go well for me but the second playthrough it went really bad and I’m not sure switching would have helped, though I did like the the little touch with the second playthrough helping me! Oh and maybe you did say this and I missed it but it would have helped me if the rules said that aces were high as I went in assuming they were 1 (though that was only an issue the first time I got it :D).

the CRT monitor and the game on it look very nice. the whole thing has a creepy atmosphere and the 'turn around' segment actually made me jump a little lol. i think it would add a little more strategy if you only rerolled one card at a time, or if you had a limited number of 'bonus pips' that you could add to any particular roll. great work! kind of reminded me of buckshot roulette

The visuals were fantastic! The game itself is very random and could use some balancing or a greater degree of player agency, it didn't feel like outsmarting the machine, just hoping you get a lucky roll and swapping when your cards make a substantially unlikely target.  But I could see this being the 'scripted boss fight loss' style introduction to a cruel horror game with the current mechanics in place!  Audio really set the mood and the bad ending was suitably creepy.  The second playthrough was a nice, Incryption-esque touch, though it wasn't clear to me how it benefitted me to have the item in question.

Wow, the presentation in this submission was incredible. The gameplay was... minimal, I wish there were more choices to make other than just hitting the "roll" button and swapping a couple of times. However, the graphics and audio were so cool that I think this could be expanded into a really cool more comprehensive experience.
