Buckshot Roulette video game
Buckshot Roulette is a 2023 tabletop horror video game developed by Mike Klubnika, initially self-published on itch.io before receiving a Steam release in 2024. The game involves the player playing a twisted version of Russian roulette with a shotgun against “The Dealer” or three other players. Everyone plays and only one leaves the room with a fatter wallet and their head intact.
Buckshot Roulette’s typography heavily complements the game’s industrial look, reminiscent of grindhouse movies. The serif type for the game’s logo is a Garamond, stretched and possibly with faux bolding. Judging from the angles of the top serifs in T, it’s one of the versions based on Jannon’s work. Easier to identify is Fake Receipt, used as the primary user interface font. Its dotted appearance is further distorted thanks to the in-game pixel filter, giving it a very scratchy look.

A diegetic use of Fake Receipt on the score counter. The Dealer seems either stressed, amused or neither, as I unknowingly shot a live round at myself.

Some fonts/uses are missing from documentation; namely labels on item textures, the waiver and keyboard at the beginning of singleplayer, the selection text during singleplayer when choosing whether to shoot the Dealer or yourself, and the game over screen if the player dies in the final round in the main singleplayer campaign. Some of these uses may be harder to ID since they’re textures, but I’ll try to remember to take a look around online and see if I can ID them.
