Meddle, Ms. Medella
A downloadable game for Windows
I forgot GMTK was a thing until halfway through, so I put this together in 24 hours.
You need to make a little extra to pay rent, so you pick up a job at Ms. Medella's Dice House, a spot where you've regularly gambled a bit of cash (totally unrelated to why you're struggling to pay rent). But it turns out Medella doesn't run a totally clean business. She tells you your job is to stand in the basement under the mesh of her dice tray and poke at her dice to get the result you want while she covers them and distracts the guest. Ms. Medella's primary goal is to give people a chance to distract themselves from their day-to-day worries, so there's no need to exploit everyone who passes through, but it's like she says: fair odds don't feed growling stomachs.
In the end, it's up to you to decide how fate plays out.
