The Game at the End of the Universe

Well, here we are again. The Game at the End of the Universe. We have to hit the jackpot to save everybody. If we don't, everything you have known will cease to be, and everything you have known will cease to have been.

This quirky narrative adventure game has strategy and puzzle elements that require some out-of-the-box thinking.

Will  you manipulate the odds by printing scratch cards to score the jackpot and save everybody, or will you listen to the mysterious messages appearing on your PC, and try to break free of the loop?
