Side Effects plunges you into a dark, high-stakes medical survival game where two test subjects—you and an AI opponent—battle through nerve-racking rounds of pill roulette. Each capsule could be your cure or your curse. What starts as a minimalist experience quickly spirals into an intense, strategic nightmare of tolerance management, psychological warfare, and unpredictable side effects. Are you ready to outsmart the system and survive?
Gameplay
Core Mechanics
Pills: Each turn forces you to pick a pill with unknown consequences—some heal, some hurt, and some cause side effects that build up over time.
Tolerance: With each pill taken, your tolerance increases, which multiplies the impact of future side effects.
Items: A limited number of items give you tactical control—use them to protect yourself, sabotage your opponent, or create openings to win.
Controls
Simply click the mouse to select pills and activate items.
Tips& Tricks
Track Tolerance Like a Pro: Every pill increases your overall risk. Watch that tolerance meter—once it climbs too high, even “mild” side effects can become deadly.
Play the Long Game with Items: Use items not just when you're desperate, but when it can shift the match's entire flow. A well-timed block or bluff can reverse momentum.
Pace Your Attacks: Don’t rush. Sometimes passing a turn gives you more control than making a move that backfires.
Side Effects is more than just a casual puzzle game; it's a mental battle where your ability to adapt under pressure determines your survival. Try Side Effects now and find out how far your strategy—and your sanity—can take you.
