Absolutely hilarious. Never has a game so deeply and digustingly made me feel like an absolute loser and I was laughing the whole time.
Obviously it feels like a gamejam game with everything cobbled together to just be playable, but it's such a silly story that I wasted over an hour gambling my family's life away in this stupid game. I watched my wife gaslight herself as I sold all of her posessions, I watched my children look into my eyes with baseless hope, and I heartlessly threw their hopes into the dumpster day after day, playing the odds at a game that was only really possible to lose. I spent all of my winnings on more gambling and I cheered when selling the silverware amounted to a super rare toy that I accidentally sent down the tubes for no profit.
What a game. What an excellent stupid game.
