One Way To Die

Set logic aside

And 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 10 pages of ridiculous deaths and traps spanning over 157 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 mostly reading. Lots and lots of reading.

The game features

• All-new Choose Mode so you can decide your fate instead of the computer
• Soundtrack by Azucar
• Two holidays modes: Halloween and X-Mas; active on their respective holidays
• The Saboteur: fuck over people in the community or the computer and vice-versa
• 20+ achievements
• Of course, all your stats are backed up on the Steam (if playing the Steam version) and CoaguCo's servers

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!
