Karoshi

About

Karoshi is a puzzle-platformer where you play as a character determined to die. Each level tasks you with arranging objects and manipulating the environment to create a lethal scenario. The controls are simple but precise, requiring timing and spatial reasoning to guide your avatar toward its inevitable end. The game’s bite-sized levels escalate in complexity, blending physics-based challenges with darkly humorous objectives. Released in 2008 as a free download, Karoshi carved a niche for itself with its morbid charm and clever level design. Its straightforward approach and cheeky tone resonated with players, earning it a cult following despite its short runtime. Community forums still reference its creative puzzles and unapologetic absurdity, making it a memorable entry in the indie scene.
