About
Death is a topic everyone tries to avoid. An inevitable end. Something that reminds us that everything comes to an end.
But what if the objective of a game were to die?
One Death at a Time © is a short game where you explore a large city to find funny, grotesque, and hilarious ways to die. Being run over by a car as if it were bowling… with you? Being brutally crushed by a piano? Or being ground up in a meat grinder?
It all starts when a suspicious milk carton makes you an offer: if you collect 14 souls who have died in different ways, he will grant you a wish. But since he knows you're a model citizen… he proposes a much simpler alternative: die yourself.
If you don't believe it, stop reading and see for yourself.
