One Way To Die

Set logic aside to play the game where losing is actually winning and your character may be the dumbest person to ever live!

After waking from a terrifying dream of your own untimely death, you attempt to make your way to the Finnigan Brothers' Fun Park for its last day then back home again in this all-new text-adventure from CoaguCo Industries. You must survive ten chapters of ridiculous deaths and traps spanning over one hundred and fifty ways to die with no discernible way to navigate to safety. It's like playing Russian roulette with five chambers loaded, but more frustrating.

Warning, this game is reading. Lots and lots of reading.

• All-new Story Mode to make better sense of your fate
• Legacy Choose and Random Modes unlockable after your first win
• Two holidays modes: Halloween and X-Mas; active on their respective holidays
• All-new multiplayer Saboteur to kill friends or strangers
• 18 achievements
• Hand-drawn art of mostly skulls and blood
• Original music from Azucar

The new Story Mode allows for more choices in the way you perish and better odds of surviving. It incorporates a new luck mechanic that, when it runs out, so does your chances of making it to the Fun Park. The original Choose Mode, where you select a number blindly, and Random Mode, where the computer selects your fate, are included but only accessible after you play the game on Story Mode first.

The new Saboteur feature now allows friends or strangers to jump into your game and dog your ever step with a variety of traps. Don't worry though, you can always choose to jump into someone else's game and return the favor.

You've repetitively clicked all the buttons, you've spammed all the achievements, you've read (maybe) three or four deaths, and you've nearly crashed out our server. What more is there to do? Well we are proud to present you with the Deluxe Edition package! In this delightful addition we are offering you the following:

• The full soundtrack (the game will use the extra tracks)
• Seven special wallpapers
• Full, printable poster from our previous contest
• In-game Flashlight item to find Saboteurs
• No new achievements!

Bonus Art

Additional art and music content (wallpapers, poster, and soundtrack) can be found within the game's Steam folder.

Bonus Flashlight

The in-game Flashlight will be unlocked from the get-go. Click on it to show any Saboteur traps that may be waiting for you; with a three-second cool-down between uses. Plus, they won't even know you've got it on!

Bonus Music

This version of the game will also make use of the new music tracks, both in the menus and game itself.

Bonus More

We will be adding some additional content over the next few months. Check back to see what gets added!

One Way To Die - Version 5.3 Update

Hey, death-seekers! We have just issued an update to address a problem that has plagued us for some time… statistics.

The game will now rely on your local save file instead of pulling statistics from Steam unless you elect to sync them in the Options section. This should prevent stats from “disappearing” because Steam failed to send the data correctly.

There are also some minor QoL updates as well. In case your the curious type, here is the change log:

• Added: tooltip hints to Options menu
  
• Added: individual death numbers to save files
  
• Added: missing Steam stats for mode plays
  
• Added: “Now Choosing For” in title so player knows what page is next
  
• Changed: graphics drivers back to GLES 3.0 with fallback to GLES 2.0 if needed
  
• Changed: complete overhaul to stat saving and loading system
  
• Changed: how the game calculates unique deaths
  
• Changed: how the game checks achievements and saves stats
  
• Changed: system does not check Steam by default when loading stats, now only when syncing
  
• Fixed: Steam achievements only looking for 17 instead of 18
  
• Fixed: stats section not showing all achievements if unlocked
  
• Removed: stat dependency on Steam stats

More to come!
