Beloved $3 indie horror Buckshot Roulette about to get a free multiplayer mode

Sometimes the simplest concepts work the best. Balatro's expansion on familiar poker hands, for example, has quickly become a frontrunner for the 2024 game of the year. Videogames thrive on taking a concept you know, and twisting it into something else. Buckshot Roulette is no different. What presents as a dingy take on Russian roulette quickly morphs into a horror experience unlike any other. Best of all, it's just $3 on Steam and we finally know when the multiplayer mode is coming.

[h3]But wait, there’s one more thing:[/h3]

You might be wondering about all of those ‘beta test sign ups’ we’ve been doing earlier. Join our Discord to get access to the Beta in the few upcoming days to try out the multiplayer earlier.
We’re expecting to be able to provide you with access sometime before the official launch.

We’ll also be granting an even earlier access to select content creators, so keep an eye out for previews coming soon.

We’re so happy to have you back.
Volta Standard Electronics is happy to have you back.

[h3]But before we go, a word from the CR Channel Crew:[/h3]

In a lonely station atop a mountain, a train rumbles its precious cargo to places unknown. Now is your shift. Keep the pace. Uncover a mystery. Fight for your last breath. The air is thin up here.

THRESHOLD, a solo project by Julien Eveillé is coming to Steam in 2024. Stay tuned for more news.

Buckshot Roulette — Multiplayer Beta Launch Window Announcement

[h2]Greetings, High Rollers[/h2]

The most astute of you have already found out that we’ve been showing off Buckshot multiplayer at G-Fusion in China. You might even have seen some footage of it.

In that case, there’s no reason to keep it under wraps any longer. So for all High Rollers at home, we’re releasing some of our own footage for you to feast your eyes on:

We’re sorry for any friendships ruined in the process

Not captured at the photo: a three-hour line to play Buckshot’s multiplayer

Only one of them will walk out with a case full of money tonight.

Of course we know that merely ‘just watching’ is not enough. The greed, the thrill, the high stakes — you can only experience these in action.

[h2]So we’re inviting you to take it further.[/h2]

This October marks the first anniversary of CR Channel — a collective of brave developers pushing the envelope of the horror genre further than imaginable and a bunch of horror nerds from CRITICAL REFLEX with a dream.

To celebrate we have prepared many, many surprises for you throughout the whole month waiting to be unpacked, like an advent calendar of sorts. And we’ll be launching the BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer Beta as one of the gifts — sorry for spoiling the surprise a little. Hope you don’t mind.



And for those of you lucky enough to be in Japan from September 26 to September 29, you can play the Buckshot Roulette Multiplayer earlier at the CRITICAL REFLEX booth.

Not just on PC, by the way: by popular demand we’ve set up the Real Buckshot Roulette experience. Staring at the barrel of a shotgun has never been so fun, eh?

But before we go, we have an announcement from CR Channel:

Mouthwashing, a space horror tragedy brought to you by the masters of ‘weird’ horror at Wrong Organ of How Fish is Made fame, is OUT NOW on Steam.

Follow the lives of the crew as they endure starvation, isolation, and the strain of dealing with each other. The ship will be out of power in six months, with food rations running out even sooner. Will they make it through or will they perish under the light of an eternal sunset?

See you again soon, high rollers.
The night is coming and it’s darker than ever.

Buckshot Roulette — Multiplayer Progress Report

[h2]Greetings, High Rollers[/h2]

Been a while since we last spoke with you all, hope you missed us a lot. We know what you guys are all waiting for, and while we don’t have any announcements today, we wanted to let you take a look at the backrooms of our nightclub. Even if it’s still in development.

So without further ado, let us begin.

[h2]Would the shell loading machine please show itself for the demonstration?[/h2]



Wonderful, thank you.

The cat’s been out of the bag for quite a while, but we think it’s about time to officially confirm that BUCKSHOT ROULETTE Multiplayer will allow up to four high rollers to partake in the dance between life and death.

Of course that meant that the old tech had to be replaced with something more suitable for a… bigger crowd. Thankfully, our colleagues at Volta Standard Electronics are the best when it comes to inventing efficient tools for bloody entertainment, so we’ll introduce you to some.



Starting off, of course, with a brand new playing table. Our priority was to make the game of chance as fair to all contestants as possible, so the Volta Engineers prepared a perfectly symmetrical table that would still allow all players to have 8 items at a time. And a rotation mechanism for a shotgun, since you wanted to see it in action so much.

Of course, having more players together at the same table implies that there should be new items tailored around this mechanic specifically. Like this remote, which is [REMOVED: Proprietary information of Volta Standard Electronics].

Or, I guess we can just say that it only makes sense with multiple people at the table for now.



[h2]That's enough for now, let's remove all this junk from the playing table and wrap this up.[/h2]



Note: All safety guarantees void if body parts remain on the table during clearing sequence

Hope you enjoyed our little tour into the multiplayer zone of our nightclub. We’ll be back soon with more info, but for now — keep the bets coming, our dear High Rollers.

[h3]But before we go, a quick announcement from the CR Channel Crew:[/h3]

THRESHOLD, a solo project by Julien Eveillé, is joining the CR Channel Family of deeply discomforting and beautifully unsettling video games.

THRESHOLD is a short, dark and atmospheric First Person Exploration game picturing disturbing facts about an untold brutal story. Pick a country, start your shift and try to save the world with the help of your precious bucket, some Air Cans and a bunch of planks.

Among twice as many players
you better be twice as lucky.

Good luck.
