Death Run

About Death Run

The publisher description for this one is roughly translated and does not survive close reading. What comes through is a portrait obstacle game about many lives and many traps, with you apparently working the traps rather than running from them. Go in expecting to work it out yourself.

How to play

• The game is built around a course full of hazards and the people trying to get through it.
• The blurb describes turning people back rather than getting past, which puts you on the side of the machinery.
• Treat the first run as the explanation, because the publisher text is not one.

Tips

• Give it two minutes before deciding. Games with translation this rough are often much clearer to play than to read about.
• If the opening screen does not make the goal obvious, it probably will not later either. This is not a game that explains itself.
