About this game

Welcome to Shadowbox Roulette!

A mind game of ragebaiting, deception, reflexes, and sheer luck? Face off in a tense 1v1 where reading your opponent is the key to survival!

Both game modes are tied together by a unified Bank and Wallet system. Players must strategically manage their funds by withdrawing chips before hitting the tables, utilizing a daily bonus timer if they go broke, and climbing the globally synced Steam Leaderboards using their total bank balance.

  • Basically shadowboxing.

  • POKER GAME: A high-stakes, 1-on-1 Texas Hold’em experience where the AI matches your wallet chip-for-chip to ensure a perfectly level playing field. The game features a complete betting suite, allowing players to check, call, fold, or push custom raises and all-ins. Matches enforce a mandatory starting ante, progress through animated card reveals on the river, and culminate in a showdown where the best hand takes the pot. Ties result in a split pot, while bankrupting the opponent clears the table and secures a definitive win.

  • RUSSIAN ROULETTE:  A tense, turn-based game of chance with scalable risk and reward. Players dictate their stakes by loading between one and five bullets into a six-shooter cylinder. A single bullet offers conservative gains, while loading five bullets delivers massive percentage-based payouts (up to +500% of the staked wallet). The AI always takes the terrifying first shot. Surviving a blank passes the gun back and forth, while a loaded chamber instantly ends the match, triggering dramatic character animations and transferring the chip payouts.
