Over dit spel

How will you cope with the loss of yourself?
Each episode of You Died! will allow you to experience a stage of grief for yourself. Make choices, deal with the consequences, and interact with your environment to express the emotions of the main character.

You Died! is a choice-based 3D visual novel with elements of psychological horror. It aims to help players struggling with growing up and feelings of wasted childhood. Using death as a metaphor for permanently leaving childhood behind, the story takes the player through 5 stages of grief from the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross model. In each stage, you will notice some changes to the environments and mechanics from shader changes to completely new abilities in each episode!

Episode 1 Denial

Face your death and try to find out why you have chosen to kill yourself. This episode gives you an option to "possess" your body while you walk around the house and uncover the reasons behind your death.

Episode 2 Anger

Dying young could make one pretty angry. That is why in this episode you will have the option to throw as many things as you want and scream your lungs out. Yell and blame everyone (including yourself).

Episode 3 Bargaining

Face death (this time literally) and try to convince them to let you come back to life. How far would you go to turn back time?

Episode 4 Depression & Episode 4 Acceptance (in development)
