can i date the alleyman instead?
"I'd dice with death If death had dice"
This isn’t a visual novel, it’s a dating sim and the only romance option is “hot cryptic man with dice.” 10/10 would gamble my lifespan again just to see him talk fancy

Interesting game to be made in under 10 days but it's very repetitive and the 24 minutes to get 100% just felt like time wasting then anything else.
A neat experience in such a small amount of time. I think the idea is nice kind of strange that does all it needs to in the time it had. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to perfect the game with bad luck, which might happen since it's pure RNG. The dice game itself is pretty cool, but I think getting to 100 points is a little too long for what story is told in-between. The endings are pretty straightforward, so it should be easy to achieve them by yourself, The theme of the game is appealing and so is the Alleyman's design, so give it a shot if you got some time for a side quest.
I liked this game! It was short and fun, easy to follow and very cool to look at!!! I loved the alleyman's design and his way of speaking was neat. I really wanna draw him now... but anyway fantastic atmosphere and I liked the different responses the alleyman could give when either player passes. A very self contained game and yet very eye catching and fun :D
Neat little experience, for a free game. It's really short, took about 20 minutes to get every ending. It's also really easy. The Alleyman passes a lot of his turns, making winning pretty easy. Honestly, it took longer to force the ending where the player loses to him. Music is subtle, but suits the scenario. I liked the character design and art for the Alleyman.
I need to congratulate everybody who worked on this game!!!! The atmosphere was fantastic, the distortion of the background - supreme and the Soundtrack was perfect. I didn't think I was a gambler at heart until this game of greed pulled the audacity out of me, rolling into a 50 in one round. Perhaps I was lucky. Perhaps it was fate.... The Alleyman has made me feel things I cannot describe. My friends watched in horror as I adored the design of this character and his attitude. 1000 words I read with delight like no other. While I have nothing in relation to game developers and coding, I don't know if the Alleyman was meant to be this giving in the first round and take me away in the second, but it took forever to actually make him Win. I have no critiques. Love the nicknames for all the Devs and also the fact the 'Exit' button was also called 'Escape'. Thank you so much for your effort I think I will have this in my heart forever.
I really liked the art and the atmosphere. The gameplay is catchy and really fun 10/10 <3
