But how do you win ?
The feeling i had while playing is this :
- i loose the dice roll, the saw get closer and eventually will kill me
- if i win at the dice, the saw don't move and i can play again...
So the only ending i can see here is death
Or do you need x wins to actually WIN, in this case, something should tell the player, either a counter or something visual that indicate that some progress toward victory has been made
Winning is calculated through multiple factors: how many rounds you survive, how often you nearly die, and how often you prevent it.
There is lore behind the game, but no reward. When you die, nothing special happens. When you live, nothing special happens either. You either die or you live.
The game is built around the idea of emptiness. Gambling isn’t exciting, rewarding, or meaningful. Even when you “win" you earn nothing of any value.
The ending is intentionally brutal. Because in real life, gambling rarely gives you anything special in return. No victory either.
The natural outcome is basically is:
"If i win against this thing enough times, i win"
What do you actually gain though?
Mechanically, this doesn't do anything.
The company is gaining more money from dead customers than the amount of money they use to make these robots.
There is no reward. This is more like a physiological game rather than a game you would play to spend time lol. There was gonna be more if i had time but i got to spoil it in text now.
yes i totally got that when i played the extra content and lost with all the after take. I support your take on gambling. For a video game, i think it should remain engaging somehow.
If you add anything that indicate that your win had somekind of change in the situation (even a change of the colors light that do absolutly nothing else would work, the player would go hum the light color has change when i won so maybe if i win again something else will happened etc... leading you to a certain defeat), that would totaly work for me i think :)
