Step To Fix App Problems Sometimes You Die

This one is different.
In this game, you have to die.


∙ G A M E ∙
What is your motivation?
What do you expect from this game?
Do you want to beat it?
How do you know it can be beaten?

This game plays with expectation, illusion, and reality.


∙ P U Z Z L E S ∙
Think before you act.
Who knows what it means to die behind the screen?
Is it only a number that goes up?
Pixels that change their intensity?

Solve disturbing, surprising, and malicious puzzles.


∙ D E A T H ∙
Is it possible to go through the game
without dying even once?
Will you aim for it?


∙ D I F F I C U L T Y ∙
Some think the game is easy.
I think,
those haven't discovered the hidden levels yet.

great idea, love the trial and error concept, and I really love the idea of using your own corpse as a method of bypassing hazards. the reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the controls are very rudimentary and mixing those up the way it did made it very frustrating because I had to play a game of finger twister just to complete the level and honestly I'm not doing that again. I spent 20 minutes trying to use those controls and honestly it was a waste of time and effort.

I'm not too far into the game, but I already love it! The design is amazing, the music really sets the mood, and the messages throughout the levels are super neat. I have made it my goal to always hit the lightbulb on levels where I can. Also the red rooms freak me the fridge out, but are still super neat. EDIT: I have gotten to the orange rooms, and holy heck they are difficult. I even had to quit the game a while. Still an amazing game. EDIT 2: the pause button isn't working; Looking for fix.

Sometimes you die is a genius game! I loved every bit of it so far (still trying to get 0 deaths) and I reccomend it to anyone who wants a fun and really meta game. I have seen several other comments on this game complaining that they thought it was stupid or trying to be clever, and a couple saying there was a paywall (which is actually in the game as a wall. If you click buy, it says to use the pop up as a way to get passed the level) but what they don't understand is just how clever the game actually is. Worth the money!
