Kniv Studio Announces Pachinko Roguelike High Roller Penny
Kniv Studio announced High Roller Penny on August 13, a pachinko-style roguelike for PC via Steam. The game casts the player as a debt-ridden protagonist abducted by Penny, a bunny girl who also works as a debt collector, to an underground pachinko parlor run by a shady organization. Players drop balls onto a pegboard to earn scores, with each peg hit adding points. Clearing a round requires hitting a target score within a set number of balls; failing means immediate execution. Success clears rounds and advances the player to stages where other bunny girls await as opponents. Rewards earned from cleared rounds can be spent at a prize exchange shop on special pegs and balls, which can be placed anywhere on the board. Pegs include wide types that bounce balls upward and special effects like duplicating balls on contact. Balls also carry various traits, and passive skills combine with pegs and balls to create synergies. Players can sell pegs, balls, and tickets, balancing steady earnings against risky big wins. The goal is to climb ranks, defeat the bunny girls, and wipe out all debts. The release timing is undecided, but the Steam store page is live with wishlist registration.
