Slot Machine Roguelite Horror Title ‘CloverPit’ Launches September 3 [Trailer]
The “demonic lovechild of Balatro and Buckshot Roulette” in Panik Arcade and publisher Future Friends Games’ CloverPit has a release date. The slot machine roguelite horror game will arrive September 3 for PC via Steam. The demo is still very much available for those who want to get their “try before you buy” fix.
CloverPit sees you trapped in a hell of your own creation. You are locked in a rusty cell with a slot machine and an ATM, you must pay off your debt at the end of each round, or end up falling to your doom. Luckily, you can manipulate the slot machine to earn extra coins, as well as turn the odds in your favor with various prizes and charms that trigger big combos that can set you off on a lucky run.
Seeing as this is a roguelite, you can earn unlockable run modifiers and 150+ power-ups to help you work towards one of the multiple endings for CloverPit. And once you’ve polished off the story, you can always push to get the high score in the game’s Endless Mode.
The developers stress that CloverPit is a roguelite horror game, and not a slot machine simulator. The slot machine is designed to be broken and ultimately overcome, and will never ask you for real money.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
