In a game, you die.
And imply that it has no effect on you.
You feel invincible in the realm behind the screen.

This one is different.
In this game, you have to die.

Pros and cons of Sometimes You Die app for iPhone and iPad

Sometimes You Die app good for

If you enjoyed The Stanley Parable, this game is for you. Only one word : amazing.
This game is the most original game ive ever played. Développer, you really have a talent
This isnt a game. This is friggin art.. You basically play your way from room to room, your only motivation to hear the next line of dialogue. Its like playing a poem. A dark poem. Where you use your own corpses to complete the levels. The soundtrack is amazing as well. Only one track but it loops and its so good that it doesnt matter. Atmosphere-10/10 Controls-9/10 Replay value-9.5/10 The game loops after you "beat" it, but chances are you havent memorized every level so playing it again around 30 min later is just as rewarding.
I was taken by surprise with this "game" to be honest. I was expecting a silly fun little gimmick but what I got was an actually intriguing narrative. It definitely hedges on pretentious, but trust me, when you beat the game and start again with what you know, it adds another level of challenge to the app. Sometimes You Die. Sometimes you dont. Highly recommended.
Mindblowingly good. Wish it was longer tho! But the end was awesome! LOVE IT
The game was very unique and addicting well worth the purchase 5/5 The game built an amazing dark ambiance and atmosphere. As someone previously said the great soundtrack and game loops and is easily playable again and again.

Some bad moments

This game works only in landscape mode, but it can’t rotate, so it’s stuck in landscape with the home button on the right. This means that if your iPad has a cover, like the smart cover or the smart case or everything else, it will be a pain in the … It’s rather normal for a game to offer just landscape mode, but at least it should be on the correct side, or at least allow you to rotate the screen.
I got a mesage to pay 9,999 to unlock a phase and the options on screen were only "YES" ( no cancel, No buttons availavle) The game is probably conting on user distraction to make money Do not install it!!!
Doesnt worth the price, finished the game in 15 min and the next levels are the same but you have to flip the iphone each time to pass them, waste of time....delete
When you get to a certain level it is going to ask you to purchase the level for $10,000. It gives you two options, yes or yes. Fraud.
30 second midi loop, beat in 15min, play again with ability to flip phone to finish levels, makes it too easy to beat. You can call it art if youd like. Someone flipped a urinal upside down once as a joke and its considered an important piece of art
Great game until you have and ad that says "would you like to buy the next level for 999.99" and the choices are yes and yes
