Flathead

Flathead is a single-player game built around guessing whether the next number is higher or lower. You are strapped to a machine as a terror approaches from behind, and must earn enough points to pay for your escape before it reaches you.

Guess and gamble

Pull the lever to reveal a number, then guess whether the next one will be higher or lower. Correct guesses earn points and let you continue; wrong guesses put your escape at risk. You can bank points or let them ride to build multipliers and increase your winnings, and use tools, modifiers and the wheel of fate to change your odds. These choices can also increase your doom.

Hold off the terror

Use the tools at your disposal to slow the approaching terror while you try to save enough points to gain your freedom. The game has an unsettling atmosphere, growing tension and a gritty analog horror aesthetic. Its sessions are designed to be played in one sitting, with replayability built around the strategic choices and tools available.
