Few things are more intense and nerve-wracking than a match of Russian roulette. If you're unfamiliar with the lethal game of chance, it involves loading a revolver with a single round, giving its cylinder a good spin, aiming the firearm at yourself or an opponent, and pulling the trigger to see what happens. If the round isn't lined up with the barrel, the target can breathe a sigh of relief. But if it is, well...things are sure to get messy.
The game's appearances in entertainment constitute some of the best scenes in film and TV history — the ending of One Eight Seven comes to mind for me — but my all-time favorite depiction of it in media might just be the variation of it that solo video game dev Mike Klubnika came up with for Buckshot Roulette. They released the brilliant little indie just before the turn of the new year, and since then, it's quickly become a hit.
