A Tale About Life, Death, and a Looser

A Tale About Life, Death, and a Looser is a browser game about the many possible ways the life of one man could go. It starts with your birth, and then you are given a series of situations that you can choose to either escape from or continue with. Eventually, you die. Most of the situations are pretty pathetic, but escaping and trying to run away normally only puts you in and even more pathetic situation and speeds up your death. A Tale About Life, Death, and a Looser was made in a single day.

My opinion: The game has me slightly interested, since I want to see how many different lives its possible to live and if there's one that doesn't suck (turns out the guy who made this didn't have time to include the good one). So far I haven't found any. Still, even with that chance the game is still kinda boring, since gameplay consists of mashing C to get through each scenario and to the choice, where you hit either Escape or C. The game also seems to lack many different branching paths, since doing anything but hitting C will normally just end up with you being a bum on the couch and dying of multiple improbably illnesses.

A Tale About Life, Death, and a Looser was made by Deepnight. It can be played here.
