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!

betting our lives against each other (romantically) but you're not gay enough to understand that
this games great. its a vn death game made by a team who's made good vn's in the past. that's not enough for you to try it? uhhhhh I think there's some yaoi in there too, and yuri, maybe even some yaori if you try hard enough, not too sure about that one though.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this game is GOOD, another one of those types of games where you shouldn't get attached to the characters, it got me shaking, even though it's not yet finished, it's still sick as hell, TOTALLY DON'T RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO DEATH THOUGH, or if you're easily traumatized or you get attached easily- ;w; ... Otherwise, it's a good game! ^^

I can tell a woman made this, and we need MORE! MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NICE ART AND YAOI IS WHAT WE WANT!
Such a fun game. The story is amazing so far and the character designs and background music are to die for. I'm so excited for the next chapter.

I really like this game and the whole idea of the in-game show. The characters are really interesting and I would love to explore their personalities and backstories in the next chapters. The only thing that kind of bugs me is that I feel a lack of choice with Benny, I don't hate him but I also don't love him enough to constantly return to him in the game's story. I would like to have a choice where I don't have to his friend of sorts but I understand that Benny's character is built up to always be there next to Eddie, it seems, and almost all people I've seen seem to love him, so I suppose it's really just my personal preference.
