About This Game

HELL WAIT is a riichi mahjong roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Balatro, Inscryption, and Buckshot Roulette.

Beat an ever-increasing score target, with your fingers on the line - so try not to deal in.

Features:

• Over 100 Joker tiles that affect scoring, drawing, and other game rules

• Enhance your tiles with materials, stickers, and dora

• Different tile sets to change how you build your deck each run

• Upgrade yaku using Blessings to turn modest hands into monsters

• Consumable Pacts to manipulate your tiles and gain the upper hand

• Mix and match difficulty modifiers for a greater challenge

• A comprehensive tutorial

No mahjong knowledge required - mechanics like furiten are optional difficulty modifiers, and your opponent will even state his intent. Though he might be lying.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game simulates gambling on mahjong matches with a goal of getting high scores.
Fingers are used as lives - the player will lose fingers when they lose a round. The act will happen offscreen but a cartoonish severed finger (and hand with missing fingers) will be seen.
