Side Effects

Take your pills. Utilize items in your favor. Watch your resistance. Survive.

Welcome to Side Effects: a tense, turn-based pill roulette game. Each round, you'll be presented with a selection of pills to take. Some are helpful, some are harmful, and some are death. You never know what you're about to consume or what it might do to your mind or body.

Resist

Every pill impacts your resistance. Manage it wisely: zero resistance means death.

Experimental goodies

Between rounds, you can choose from a range of experimental items and treatments that can shift the odds in your favor. From vaccines to mouth clamps.

You’re not alone

The other patient wants to outlast you. They’ll bluff, adapt, and use everything at their disposal to keep breathing one dose longer than you.

I previously left a comment about how when I ate a green pill that was a placebo, but I died for some reason and thought it was a bug. Now I understand that I probably didn't pay attention to my tolerance (the resistance scale used to be called that) and I just had too few points on that scale, but now I'm facing a real issue: for some reason, my opponent knows which pill is poisonous every time they use the mouth restraint, even though he don't need to use a drug test.

Such a fun game!  Got super lucky

Enjoyed the game!

Love this game! I see the "multiplayer" option. Do you have an est on when that will be functional to play against and challenge others? My husband and I were stoked to possibly be able to play this against each other.

dojeabne

 I like this game very much it's really interesting and impressive

really good

🚀 Complete Gameplay🎉 

Idk if i left a review yet but genuinely enjoy it so much! About to go back in for some challenges while i wait for the full game to release haha 

TOP GAME

YALL REALLY HAD TO ME DUKE IT OUT WITH A D1 PILLPOPPER LMAO

I loved BR and i think this a cool adaptation of the idea. Being able to bait and set each other up using the various tools is gonna make this a blast to play with others (if you decide to go that far). Looking forward to the final version!

The game with the updates is great!, I don't know if it coul be possible to add a mechanism where if you are drug enough, your sight is moving extremely arratic and confusing and with crossed eyes to make difficult to choose the pill you want to pick.

But I mean that the actual position of the pills move with se sight and the crossed eyes, because if it's only a visual effects but the position it's the same it's easy to guess where is the pill you want.

I think this should be a characteristic each player could choose if they want to, because for some people may be annoying. 

Wow niceee

wow, just... wow its even better now

Del chill

Love the update.  Holy shit turn 1 Pliers OP.  Love the mindgames and possibilities of comboing off with being able to force your opponent to take a pill at times.  Human multiplayer will have so many odd galaxy brain plays!
