Karoshi 2.0

It seems there are only a miniscule number of pessimists in life and this is very obvious through the fact that almost 99% of the games we play today require surviving through all the levels. You are even given lives on some games so you can continue at ease and there are even games which have an unlimited number of retries. However, here is a game which needs just the opposite from you-to kill yourself. And that is exactly what means Karoshi in Japanese. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say the developer of this game is a pessimist. On the contrary, I believe him to be creative and adventurous-taking the beaten path.

Though it would be very easy to kick the bucket in many games, Karoshi has a different attitude. On some occasions, you will be dumbstruck and won’t have a clue as to what to do. On the very few others, you will need to do a bit of guesswork. Needless to say I didn’t get very far without a walkthrough.

The gameplay is great and I couldn’t find much faults. However, there are some places in which the level gets boring.

Not much features are found here except the game and a distraction level in which you just kill yourself infinite times.

The graphics are very bad. The same can be said for the sound.

Verdict:

Simply designed game which requires some guesswork
