got no real addition to the indie game press conversation other than that it sucks, and I can't promise to cover anything, but I'm always looking for cool, weird, underground indies to cover on my news shifts at Rock Paper Shotgun!

also interested if you are a journalist who is asked to do these deal roundups as part of your job

This is why I don't do rankings or tier lists and I tend not to play GOTY favourites, because Promise Mascot Agency absolutely DOES deserve to be up there with those other three.

The only thing stopping it from being a mega-hit is being a couple degrees off from the current indie games zeitgeist.

"But Unfair Flips isn't really about flipping heads, or incrementally upgrading your odds and income, or stacking combo multipliers for a jolt of post-Balatro dopamine.

Unfair Flips is a game about negotiating the temptations of superstition."
