GAMES WE LOVE

You Bet Your Life

Pull the lever and win your freedom…or else!

A game of chance takes a creepy turn in CloverPit, a roguelite simulation where winning big on a demonic slot machine is the only way to avoid a dire fate. Use lucky charms and other clever tricks to boost your payouts and you might just escape a locked cell; blow all your dough and the ground will open up and swallow you whole. Talk about high stakes!

What we love: Solving its many mysteries. What are those corpse pieces for? What does the red button do? What’s that number on the wall by the toilet? Instead of spoon-feeding you answers, CloverPit lets you slowly figure them out for yourself, making each discovery infinitely more rewarding.

Each newly unlocked charm can change your strategy significantly. Use the in-game computer to study their effects!

Quick tip: Pair charms for maximum impact. Need a big jackpot ASAP? Stack multiple Luck charms (like the Toy Train, Green Pepper, and Tarot Deck) before your next spin. Collecting Clover Tickets? Snag the pattern-multiplying Lost Wallet and the symbol-multiplying CloverPet to massively boost the tickets’ value.

Meet the creator: Developers Matteo Gonano and Lorenzo Tombesi set out to make a roguelite with a “PS1 horror aesthetic.” Their studio, Panik Arcade, is also known for the 2024 title Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom.
