    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...

    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.
