    A lot of dialogue points and other actions will bring up a thing that rolls 2 D6s. Snake eyes is a critical failure, double sixes is critical success. The earliest point in the game where you can make one of these rolls is in your hotel room. Either by attempting to get your tie out of the ceiling fan, trying to piece together what happened with your shoes by analyzing the broken window, or by using the mirror and trying to stop making “The Expression.”

    Many of them can be re-rolled later once you get more skill points. Others are one and done unless you reload or start a new game.

      It calls these white checks. Specifically they’ll unlock again (supposing you failed them) once you level up the skill or stat they’re associated to.

      You can also find or buy dice that’ll unlock some of them.

      Others are one and done unless you reload or start a new game.

      It calls these red checks. And they’re often much more fun than white checks, especially when you fail them.
