The protagonist. An unstable young man determined and desperate to look for a way out without any deaths.

Pacifist, Optimist, Emotional, Idealist, Stutter, Savior Complex

Billiards

The dignified mature woman. Strong morals, but weak spirit.

Hard Worker, Refined, Pessimist, Flustered

Cigar

The self-designated bartender. Very polite and refined, the ideal image of a barman, but can he be trusted?

Cocktail

The silent girl. Rarely speaks, but when she does, she doesn't hold back.

Coffee

The smirking enigma. A confrontational player that immediately takes the game seriously.

Distrustful, Confident, Mysterious, Eccentric

Darts

The critical thinker. Could be a good ally...or a strong opponent.

The chaotic wild card. The most positive and unpredectible player, seemingly not taking the game too seriously.

Airhead, Funny, Energetic, Optimist, Eccentric

Lime

The youngest player. Just a kid, but one willing to play the game and that won't tolerate not being taken seriously.

Piano

A man of charisma. Likes a good challenge and game, but with lives on the line that might change.

Smoking, Murder, Self-sacrifice, Gambling

Poker

The oldest player. He doesn't value his remaining life much, but he won't give it up for free either.

Vodka

A death game of 10 rules assigned to each of the 10 players, a mysterious bar, and 10 hours to live. You can only disobey your own rule. If you die, your rule is removed from the game, until only 3 remain. An evolving game that changes with every death.

But he won’t allow it.

Refusing to play into the hands of his kidnapper, one player challenges the game itself. 

Search for what’s beyond and overcome the system, or be eaten by it. But don’t forget...that you are no hero.
