Developer Who You and publisher Alliance Arts have revealed Drunken Goddess Refluxan upcoming PC indie game about trying to exorcize a demon as part of a desperate bid to save your soul.
Played from a first-person perspective, it has you choosing shots to drink in a seriously boozy game of Russian Roulette. You’re up against a pink-haired demon who is desperate to kill you in a big way so you can spend eternity together.

Between takes, you must carefully manage your level of intoxication, going to extreme measures like stabbing yourself in the wrist with a popsicle stick to maintain your alertness.
Each set of drinks has its own unique effects, forcing you to strategically choose what to down and what to skip. You can earn special trick cards with powerful effects by warding off drunkenness, or snoop around the bar to find spirits that offer special abilities.
However, you’re not the only one getting tipsy, and the rules of the game begin to break down the further you progress, something you can exploit to gain an additional advantage.
The game’s colorful character art was drawn by popular Japanese online artist and animator odyk, the same illustrator behind the bright designs of the recently released Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm psychosis. It also features a bombastic theme song performed by American YouTuber Demondice.
According to the developers, Drunken Goddess Reflux has already hit 50,000 Steam wishlists – a milestone marked with some sweet celebratory art. It is set to release later this year and for more information you can follow the publisher on X.
