How it feels

A text adventure where death is inevitable and frequent, played for dark comedy and absurd frustration.

What players say

Players say this free text adventure offers random death outcomes based on choices, but many find it boring and poorly executed. The game has a notorious 'purge' option that deletes achievements, frustrating completionists, and choices often feel meaningless as dying is inevitable.
