Short horror games seem like a dime a dozen these days and usually amount to a quick jump scare, but Buckshot Roulette hones on some brilliant strategy game mechanics to make for an addictive experience. I played the Steam version which adds a new game mode with additional items, and left feeling impressed. Buckshot Roulette has an excellent visual style and sound effects, and it’s honestly dying for a multiplayer mode to be added which is reportedly on the way. I’m looking forward to it.

One of those really strong ideas for a game and the aesthetic is definitely there, but the experience is too short and insubstantial to make a huge impression. Spent more time being annoyed that I got lost in the mirror maze than actually soaking up the creepy atmosphere. I’d love to see the developer turn this into a meatier experience.

5 minutes no hints. Cat finding proved no problem for me with this one.
