Our take on Coil's Containment
Rather than placing horror in a combat or exploration structure, the game uses an ice cream counter as its central pressure system. Progress depends on serving customers within time limits, collecting tips, and choosing daily upgrades, turning routine service work into the genre's source of tension.
What is Coil's Containment?
Coil's Containment is a horror roguelike set in a local ice cream parlor.
A new employee must generate enough revenue during 11 days to keep the job and meet the expectations of Mr. Coil, the shop's mysterious owner. Each shift centers on preparing customer orders before their time limits expire; successful service can produce tips, which contribute to completing a run. At the end of every day, the game presents three randomly selected items, and one can be chosen to raise business revenue. Runs can be repeated to refine play and test different outcomes. The game saves automatically after the daily item selection.
