Frequently Asked Questions

The primary goal is to survive. You are a test subject in a medical trial, and each round you must choose a pill to take. The challenge is to use logic, observation, and a bit of luck to choose pills that help you without succumbing to the harmful ones.

You don't—at least, not at first. The game is about discovering the effects of the pills as you play. Some pills may offer clues, while others have consistent effects (either good or bad) that you can learn and memorize for future rounds.

The effects are randomized and can be positive, negative, or neutral. Some might restore health, while others might cause damage, trigger hallucinations, or reveal information about other pills.

The original "Side Effects" is a single-player game against an AI opponent. Our website version follows this format, pitting you against a challenging computer-controlled adversary.
