Balatro inspired slot machine -horror game exceeds 680,000 demo downloads

Balatro inspired slot machine -horror game exceeds 680,000 demo downloads

I am not a big fan of horror games, but sometimes someone comes who has fascinated a little. And tricky survival horrors Clover Definitely has this “IT” factor. Similar to one of my favorite horror games of all time, the indecisions, they are locked up in a small room and forced to play a game. Except instead of cards, Cloverpit has Balatro -inspired demonic slot machines that you win your freedom or let you fall into your ruin. Literally.

It looks like I'm not the only one who is fascinated by the concept. In the meantime, over 680,000 copies of the Cloverpit demo have been downloaded, whereby the horror game apparently occurred on the Top 100 TOP wish list. The developer panic arcade revealed the latest statistics in an X contribution and said it was the first time that they have checked the numbers for some time. “It feels like we're dreaming,” they add, “so much happens.”

It is not the only game that tries to build on Balatro's massive success, but Cloverpit is definitely one of the outstanding ones. And it also seems to be one of the few who actively indicate the dangers of gambling. The game was described on the Steam page as “scary history of addiction and flight”, and I can see how.

They are not only in this rusty cell with just a demonic playing machine. There is also an ATM that is waiting for your hard -earned coins. Every round, the debts that demands, increases and you have to bend the rules, break the game and manipulate the slot machine to create enough coins to meet your kidnappers' claims.

If not, the traps will open under their feet and they will fall into their downfall. Play over.
