You are a simple peasant, condemned to execution for the king's exorbitant tax. In the tavern, over your last pint, a Secret Stranger sits down with you. He knows your plight. He offers salvation... but the price will be high. You agree. But who is your opponent? The king himself? Or just a random stranger?
The main goal is to pay off the debt (lower left corner). If you don't complete the payment within the allotted time, you lose.
🔮 How to play?
You see glasses in front of you. Raise one, and your fate is decided:
🔵 Blue ball - adds money (according to a special formula) and skips to the next day.
🔴 Red ball - takes a life.
❤️ Heart - adds life.
🪙 Coins - add a random amount.
🛒 Shop between rounds
The shopkeeper is a character with a personality. He blinks, looks around, and if you take too long to decide, he starts banging on the table. No money? He frowns. Bought the item? He nods approvingly. Trying to buy without money results in a banging sound that shakes the camera.
