Pick & Poke
Pick & Poke is a game made in 7 days for the 7DRL Game jam.
Note: For the best experience, we recommend playing the downloadable version. The images may take a while to load on the web version.
Concept
A choice-based narrative game, with no violence, where you manage your resources using tokens.
- Rogue-like without violence: Play a narrative adventure made up of randomly generated events.
- Resources management: Use your resources, in the form of tokens, to make the right choices.
- Emergent gameplay: Adapt your playing style with personality traits that give unique passive effects.
How to play
Simply drag and drop your tokens onto the choices that interest you. You'll then receive rewards (or not!) that will allow you to continue the adventure.

A refreshing twist to rougelite games. This could be a great game to buy if polish and added more content
Nice game !
make it longer with multiple levels/worlds!
Very fun and well made!
Interesting game! Nice work.
Awesome but too short. I wanted to play more than once lol.
The game is cool.
I just had a bug. I had too many tokens in my bag and the city guard just popped up again, and again, and again...
So I just put some tokens in the "Rise and Shine" and the game continued.
After that death came, even if I had health and told me I didn't had any health. So I gave him the 3 tokens, he gave me health but just after came back saying I didn't had any health... gurl, I had like 5 health, and you just gave me one :'). (In the photo below I already gave some health and tokens but it doesn't change anything)
I died
Amazing short game!
This was excellent, really great work :)
holy moly this game is insane, please add more!!
this is such a fun & well made game, i yearn for a longer version
Im on mobile i for the start idk how to pick up the pins
So fun!!!
Nice game. I had fun.
A clever and hilarious game. I'm not sure which character is the best, as long as you pick the right answers. 10/10.
Really great game, both the inventive and fun scenarios and the character art is gorgeous! Thank you for making this game :)
fun game
Great game, very enjoyable!
SO FUN TO PLAY!
fun game
very fun game :) looks and feel really good
So... bug report:
I simultaneously ran out of health tokens and overfilled my token capacity. That's what caused the bug. (Probably reproducible.)
At that point, the city guard popped up. ...and popped up again. ...and popped up again. An endless loop, never letting me respond... I only had one possible action...
I used my power. Repeatedly, until I got below my token capacity. The city guard went away, and Death appeared.
I corrupted Death. Two shiny corruption tokens, netting me three health tokens. Death went away... and came right back.
Hmm. I gave him some more tokens... he came right back. I gave him some more tokens... he came right back. I gave him my last three non-health tokens... he came right back.
Now I'm sitting there with a full inventory of health tokens, four of them shiny. HMM...
...I corrupted him with two shiny health tokens. City guard comes back. I give him all my new charisma tokens, and the extra health token.
Death reappears. And then... with a full inventory of health tokens...
...I accept my fate.
I can confirm that it's reproducible. The exact same thing happened to me. Difference was that I got out of the cycle.
Edit: Nope nevermind I see what you mean.
I assume you can probably get out of it if you pay off Death the same number of times the City Guard looped at the start. For me that was a lot of times, though, so I didn't have much hope of getting out of it.
Lovely short adventure!
Very fun and looks incredible. I hope you all are proud!
Very fun game :) I've just had a super boring class and was browsing itch and stumbled upon this. Had a great time!
impressive UI design, but not fun enough to play
Anyway, in conclusion i like it
i think there's a bug. when i was on the map i put a shiny health token in for my power for the nurse to come see me after an event but it was glitch and all i could do was putting my last health token in the power and die
Fun little rouge like, managing your inventory becomes managing your health. Had fun!
great game! hoping to see more content in the future
Hi, I really like your game! It's quiete fun to play, I just wanted to let you know that i found a bug on the browser game. My party is stuck and one character is saying the same line again and again. I don't know if it's just a personal bug, but wanted to let your team know.
This game is really fun to play. I hope in the future more content will be added.
why is this actually so fun
A fun little game! Great art, fun stories, and unique gameplay. Would love to see this expanded with more classes, and maybe a few more uses for corruption, but overall a solid title.
Loved the game!
had a bug where the text boxes only had strip of black in the center but the top and bottom where white so I couldn't read the text on the top or bottom, not sure how to fix.
i accidentally caused the game to glitch so i was stuck between the guard and death
this game is genuinely fun! Def would recommend, has a certain charm, in the art and concept! If you're looking for an easy to learn, hard to master game with fun characters I would def give this game a shot!
It feels like a reigns-like game, but an idea with tokens is definetly something new
really great. good artwork, sounddesign, cool game idea.
the animation of the hand is very nice
had problems with the second tutorial screen, to understand what was meant.
relativly difficult.
i just read that you made this in just 7 days. AMAZING!
