Buckshot Roulette is a 2023 indie tabletop horror video game developed and published by Estonian video game developer Mike Klubnika on itch.io. It was released on Steam by Critical Reflex on 4 April 2024 to coincide with a new update. The game has been likened to the 2021 roguelike video game Inscryption, despite contrasting visual styles. Klubnika developed the game in the Godot game engine and also composed the game's soundtrack.
