And I told her -- because it’s a dirty deal. It’s Russian roulette and utterly unfair. The cards I’d been dealt, any player would have passed. I chose to be angry instead. But Marie, my friend Marie, she got me a new deck. And suggested that I deal again.' - Kelsey The team behind the game Creative Direction - Art & Programming Kenny Guillaume Writing - Dialogue - Story Dagmar Blommaert Voice acting Lauren Hendler Lauren Ann Higgins Music Dries Vienne Simon Alexander Audio Mastering Ward Snauwaert

Press Quotes
“It’s short, sweet, and has left me thinking about its choices for long past the single sitting it asked of me.” Kotaku “By the time the story was told, and I was walking back along that opening hallway once more, there was a really superb sense of having been somewhere, known some people, understood another’s tale, despite the short length.” Rock Paper Shotgun
