If you thought Russian Roulette was stressful with a revolver, wait until you try it with a shot glass and a yandere demon. Announced during INDIE Live Expo 2026, the latest fever dream from publisher Alliance Arts and developer WHO YOU is officially titled Drunken Goddess Reflux.
This “tipsy roguelike survival” game is slated to hit PC via Steam later this year, and it’s already looking like the weirdest night out you’ll ever have from the safety of your desk.
The Premise: Drink or Die
In Drunken Goddess Reflux, you aren’t fighting dragons or space marines. Instead, you’re locked in a high-stakes drinking duel with an obsessive, alcoholic demon who loves you just enough to want to kill you. The goal? Outdrink her. The catch? The more you imbibe, the more reality (and the game’s UI) starts to fall apart.
Gameplay: Strategic Inebriation
This isn’t just a “click to drink” simulator. It’s a tactical survival experience where alcohol levels act as your primary resource—and your greatest threat.
- Shot Glass Roulette: You’ll face off against the goddess, picking from three glasses of unknown strength. One might be water; the other might be pure hellfire.
- Trick Cards: As you survive rounds, you’ll earn cards to help you cheat the system, swap glasses, or mitigate the effects of the booze.
- The “Reflux” Mechanic: Staying sober isn’t an option, but getting too drunk leads to disaster. You’ll have to find gruesome ways to stay alert—the developers even mentioned using icepicks to stave off lowered inhibitions through pain.
- Breaking the Rules: As the demon gets drunker, she loses track of the rules. This is your chance to pull fast ones, swap drinks, and manipulate the board while her head is spinning.
A Pedigree of Chaos
If the art style looks familiar, that’s because the team behind this is the same one that brought us the cult-hit Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis. They are leaning heavily into that signature “psychological tension meets dark humour” vibe.
To round out the aesthetic, the game features a theme song titled “DEMON’S SHOT,” composed by Aiobahn with lyrics and vocals by DEMONDICE—setting a high-energy, chaotic tone for your life-or-death pub crawl.
Bottom Line: Drunken Goddess Reflux looks to be a standout for fans of Buckshot Roulette who want a bit more “anime-induced anxiety” and roguelike progression in their gambling games.
Drunken Goddess Reflux is currently available to wishlist on Steam, with a full release expected in 2026. Just remember: please game responsibly.
Are you the type to play it safe with the cards, or are you going to try and drink the goddess under the table on pure luck?
