About PIG
In a final bid to cheat death, you challenge The Alleyman to a high-stakes dice game where every roll could be your last. Though the game is simple... what The Alleyman offers isn’t: more time. Beat him, and attain extra life—lose, and he takes what time you have left. And you? You’re dying anyway, frail body ravaged by an incurable disease. A single die. A single choice: Will you take the deal?

This is a very short experience, but I still enjoyed every minute of it. If anything, it left me wanting more-- wondering what lore is hiding behind the alleyman and how I can spent more time in his company simply rolling and passing dice back and forth. There are four different achievements, meaning four different endings. And to be honest, the most difficult one for me to achieve was the one in which I lost. Which was strangely endearing, because the little quips from the Alleyman made it seem like he was rooting for me and encouraging me to give rolling the die a try-- often just passing the die back to me without rolling himself. Which, again, was funny, because I struggled to keep up with him the very first round I played. Overall, it's a short little game for free, so you can't go wrong with it. And I ended up adoring the Alleyman and am almost a little sad that there won't be more content of him for me to indulge in. Do recommend.1 found this helpful
I need to congratulate everybody who worked on this game!!!! The atmosphere was fantastic, the distortion of the background - supreme and the Soundtrack was perfect. I didn't think I was a gambler at heart until this game of greed pulled the audacity out of me, rolling into a 50 in one round. Perhaps I was lucky. Perhaps it was fate.... The Alleyman has made me feel things I cannot describe. My friends watched in horror as I adored the design of this character and his attitude. 1000 words I read with delight like no other. While I have nothing in relation to game developers and coding, I don't know if the Alleyman was meant to be this giving in the first round and take me away in the second, but it took forever to actually make him Win. I have no critiques. Love the nicknames for all the Devs and also the fact the 'Exit' button was also called 'Escape'. Thank you so much for your effort I think I will have this in my heart forever.1 found this helpful
Quick, fun and creepy. The art is beautiful and I loved replaying it to get all the achievements. I played for around 20 minutes and got all of them!
super fun game,, love the vibe and would genuinely be overjoyed if this got expanded. love love love
👍
The visuals for this game were so beautiful, and the gambling aspect initially pulled me in too...but the point of the game felt like it didn't go anywhere and I was just waiting for the dice to roll. It got boring really fast and it was so unfortunate... :(
