Think carefully what to say in crucial moments – other characters will think differently of you with each choice. Don't try too hard though, you wouldn't want to come off as desperate!Each night the Wheel of Fortune spins, deciding your luck at random. Cross your fingers for each spin, as luck does influence the story's outcome. Nobody wants to date a jinx.
If you fail, you can always try again! That's why this is better than going outside and talking to real people.

After reading this I never want to go near the Balkans--It males Appalachia look like Paradise. The main character is sad and clueless. He has too many excuses and is too dependent on luck. Hence the name of the game. If he got off the computer and interacted with real people this could have been a good harem game. If you have a cruel sense of humor the main character is funny.2 found this helpful
Igra za svaku pohvalu, najbolja igra na svijetu, Game Of The Year materijal, al doslovno.. 11/101 found this helpful
Truly, a reflection of the Balkan lifestyle. This visual novel will immerse you in the everyday Balkan struggles together with three girls (BTW Niko best girl<3) who all reflect a facet of the Balkan mindset. With great comedy, characters and a wheel of fortune that reflects the unfairness of life, I think this is as good as we could've gotten for the first Croatian VN ever.1 found this helpful
Awfully realistic dialogue, crass humor and a protagonist more (fundamentally) miserable than I ever thought possible in a visual novel. It's really an achievement how raw this is. Being set in the Balkans and having an artstyle of questionable quality and consistence really seals the deal, it hardly gets any more indie than this. But I mean absolutely all of that in the best possible way. The unbridled novelty of a dating sim set in the Balkans and featuring a literal Wheel of Fortune on top of player choices to define endings is positively overwhelming. But of course it's not perfect. Nothing about the Balkans is. [hr][/hr] [u]DIALOGUE[/u] I'll tackle this first because it might just be the best part. First off, the protagonist is quite easy to empathize with. Unlike most hikki protags in VN novels, this guy doesn't have the heroines (romanceable female characters in any given visual novel) swooning over him or even hinting at possibly being close to him the moment they encounter him for the first time. Already a great step up over so many good visual novels plagued with the overtly ficticious aspects to their "romance". Other than that one writing decision, the protag is a wel…
The standard VN where it's super hard to mess up so badly that no girl wants to sleep with you. 1d characters, boring scenes, Not even the porn could have saved this game
Great game, have a lot of fun (Balkan style).
