Original Soundtrack: With more than 25+ tracks in just the first chapter, a death game show has never sounded so delightfully jazzy before!
In Modos, the authorities are biased, corporations are greedy, and crime rates are higher than ever.
In trying to regulate a huge spike in crime, the level of punishment has been upped to an extreme for everyone.
Unfortunately, this has caused most government-run prisons to be overpopulated, underfunded, and in horrible conditions. Prisoners with long sentences will often die of malnutrition or illness before their sentence is over...
But now, they can apply to outsourced private companies that provide alternative forms of punishment.
The most popular option for many inmates, and one of the most difficult to get into, is a game show that removes several inmates from the system entirely.
Welcome to BET AND FORGIVE, a game show that turns prisoners into contestants where they can gamble their way to freedom- A way for criminals to get themselves off death row, proving their lives' worth to the masses once and for all!

This was such a great game. The story and characters are very well written and I was hooked almost immediately. I loved seeing all the different places the story would go depending on the choices you make. I enjoy every character in this game. The soundtrack and art style I cant get enough of. There are a few ruff edges. For example at some points the music will stop and then continue instead of being a seamless loop. Overall though I could not recommend this game enough if you want a good story and I can't wait for chapters 2 and 3. There better be an ending where Benny and Eddie get married or else I will cry (I need to get the plushies of them so bad).
Amazing game, will remain traumatized and regret my choices ^_^
R妈的作品终于上steam平台了太好了,画风依旧是那个味!可以磕cp,玩法就点像决生死的那个,但是其实也还好,线比较固定不是特别自由,所以乱选也不会有什么后果,都是噶,有时候会卡关,要多存档
betting our lives against each other (romantically) but you're not gay enough to understand that
"i killed a kid for yaoi n all i got was the credits" t-shirt would explain it all
i cried
death game AND yaoi?????? sign me UP.
