Rogue-lite slot machine nightmare CloverPit launches September 3

The demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette, apparently. CloverPit looks like it will suck away all your time.

It's been something of a viral hit too with the demo helping it along, as it's gathered nearly half a million Steam wishlists which puts it in the top 100 upcoming games. Today, they revealed it will be launching September 3rd. Going by the demo, it should be a flawless experience on Linux systems thanks to Proton.

While the game is inspired by actual slot-machine gambling, the developer was keen to note it's "not a slot machine simulator" as it's "designed to be broken and ultimately overcome". They said they "don’t really like gambling" which is what the game is about as you manipulate it for extra coins, while you bend and break the rules.
