Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players are divided on this game, with some praising its quirky, surreal story and oddness factor, while the majority criticize its sluggish pacing, repetitive gameplay, and poor execution. Common complaints include unskippable dialogue and cutscenes, lack of customization options, monotonous level design, and absent voiceover that make the roughly 2-hour experience feel tedious. The game appears to have an unusual creative vision that appeals to a niche audience, but most players find the gameplay mechanics and humor fall flat compared to the core story concept.
Man, I cant even be bothered to continue playing until the comedy and gameplay starts happening. 20 minutes in and its all walls of unskippable tutorial dialogue. What a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design choice, scaring away players before your game even starts.5 found this helpful

[h1] Better Off Dead - Life as a Prison Guard [/h1] [h3] Positives: [/h3] + Acceptable graphics and textures + Achievements + It ends eventually [h3] Negatives: [/h3] - The humour is sadly no good - You just do the same things over and over again - So repetitive and monotonous - No fun at all - Most of the game have unskippable cutscenes and slow dialogue with annoying keyboard sounds - No voiceover/voiceacting - Very simplistic level design - No options menu - You cant adjust anything (sounds, controls, graphics etc) - No save game - Everything is so scripted and extremely linear - Unnatural animations - No run function - Lasts for about 1.5-2 hours but feels like forever [h3] Conclusion: [/h3] Just go and play Trapped In Stone or Warrior Paint instead, is way shorter and much more enjoyable. This "game" is better off dead. [h1] Total Score: 2.5/10 [/h1] [b] NB! [/b] In the end of day 7, if all you see is dark grey, the game has not bugged out. Just look around for a bit and find a white light and go towards it to trigger the end scene.
Waste of time and 86 cents. I'm mad I even played for this long hoping it will get better.
Best game
