    Rather than a game, I would say this is more of a random horror story generator. Problem is, once you've seen a few, you've seen them all. Roll the dice, let the dice tell you a story. You risk very little, being so incredibly cheap.

    An actual hidden gem. It may not be the prettiest, but the writing is phenomenal and the mix of roguelike with deductive logic is brilliant. It's also only a dollar, so don't take my word for it...
