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.
The game looks and plays better in the downloaded version
Inspired by Buckshot Roulette

Lovely game, but I'm really upset that I didn't win a single round. However, it's okay; round 2 will come soon!

i like dis gameee ehe i give it a 9.5/10 :D
I can't play because I don't have webgl 2 :(
This is a pretty good game. The only thing is that I wish it was a tad bit longer. Otherwise, this is a phenomenal game for people who love to gamble for sure. Good job, hi rohun.
buckshot but creepier? cool!!!! solid 8/10 game
highly recommended <3
Right down my alley! Combining a mix of creepy/uncanny visuals and a messed up duel that reminds of the early Yu-Gi-Oh mangas and Inscryption, this is a very short and sweet game I would recommend. Can't wait for the multiplayer to be a thing so that you can add a layer of psychology to the gameplay!
I recorded my experience!
Yeah, still having issues with the ai difficulty and being unable to go past level 3... I skipped my turn with two death pills on the board, he had two hammers and used neither of them. I think there should either be selector for difficulty or make him overall harder. That and make it so there are less green pills, because for some reason even though I took injection after injection, I still ended up not being able to go to the fourth level...
What an addictive and eye-catching game, I can't wait for updates, I would love to be able to use the menu theme to make a song with the same name as the game, I would give credits and everything, it would be a pleasure, the song is excellent!
Hey loved the update to the game definently going to keep follwing this projet.
This was CRAZY! Roulette but with pills! Starts at 17:16
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!
really good update
Really Cool 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
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
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!
Creo que me demoré, porque ya lo actualizaron 😅, espero les guste 🍄 https://youtu.be/6tyw0-9srBk
cool game!! the style disturbed me a little lol, but that's probably cause its late at night :]
would play again!!
This is awesome
take your pills.
lovely game, it was genuinely pretty fun. 9/10.
edit: I MANAGED TO BREAK THE GAME (i only took one item and the pills didnt dispense at all the entire game js stopped pretty much xP)
Gameplay and Critique ;)
Lowkey pissed me off
Highkey would play again
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
