About this game
O.B.O.L is a game about a coin flip that will determine your life.
You're stuck in a claustrophobic rusty cabin under the ocean with a mysterious old man, playing a cursed coin game to change your fate.
But not all hope is lost in this wicked game: you will be getting random, often grotesque items to try and alter the scale in your favor. And if you feel too hopeless, why not get up and discover your little coffin of iron for clues?
Be careful tho, not everything is friendly in this underwater trap you are stuck in.
The corporate has sent their man to check if you qualify for the rescue operation.
"The corporate evaluation test ( mentioned in paragraph 6 page 8 of your contract) will determine if you are eligible of further provided assistance in your return to the surface. Please continue accordingly to the terms of the signed contract. Our company representative will attentively guide you through your test."
Discover the story and unlock multiple endings and over all, try not to lose your sanity over the cursed metal!
