About Clinically Dead
Clinically Dead is about the last seconds of your life and the strange flow of time while dying. Experience the few seconds of adventure that seem like an eternity.
The mystery of life after death. In the game, you are talking with yourself, with your subconsciousness.
It will happen eventually to all of us, but Mr. Samson is the guy who has no luck today – he’s dying. He is falling into his own mind and each next second is taking longer and longer. In the beginning, the first second felt like three seconds. Normal time was slower for him than for others. The next second one was like five minutes. He had a lot of time to rethink his life. For everyone else, this is the matter of seconds, but for him, this was taking forever. Finally, the last second of his life on earth was stretched to an infinite period of time... and this is the place where we are starting our adventure. The adventure where you are moving through a 4-dimensional
system. Space and time are connected here and you are free to move not only in three directions (width, height, and depth) but also in the fourth one – time.
Clinically Dead is a game about the flow of time while dying.
The action takes place in the mind of a person while he is dying. The time is flowing not as we are used to in reality. Not only can it flow into the future. But it can also stop or flow backward. Time is connected to space. So as we move through a level we also move through time. Time also changes various things in the game.
Time and space are connected. Moving through a level not only changes the time but also the player’s life.
Space-time is represented as colors which are indicated on the level of the game. The color blue represents a low time value. Red has a high time value. The rest of the colors represent the corresponding time between the minimum and maximum time. Think of it like a weather forecast where the temperature is represented with colors on a map. As you move your finger over the map, the temperature changes. It is the same thing in the game. As you move around a level, the time changes.
The time field itself can be also modified by moving various items in the game. Time also corresponds to points in a player’s life, which means there is negative time (a dark gray color) which makes the player respawn. Overall, it’s what can be called the “triple connection”. Time to space and time to the player’s health.Goal
You are dying and you are trapped in your mind with your subconscious. All that is left before the moment of death is a couple of seconds. Your goal is to collect the seconds in order to die in peace. Beware of creatures in your mind. It's not a horror game but has some creepy moments – just as we like them.
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Clinically Dead, developed by Mogila Games and published by Ultimate Games S.A., is a first-person puzzle adventure that builds its entire identity around a single, striking concept: the final seconds of a man’s life stretched into a surreal eternity. Rather than presenting a conventional narrative or action-driven structure, the game immerses players in a metaphysical exploration of consciousness, memory, and time as experienced by its protagonist, Mr. Samson, in the moments between life and death. The premise unfolds immediately after Mr. Samson suffers a fatal incident. While only seconds pass in reality, his perception distorts those fleeting moments into a prolonged psychological journey. The game visualizes this internal limbo through abstract environments where color itself dictates the flow of time. Different hues represent varying temporal intensities, transforming the act of movement into an interaction with time. Blue zones correspond to shorter temporal spans, while red areas indicate extended moments, effectively turning the environment into a shifting temporal landscape that players must learn to interpret. Gameplay revolves around manipulating this time-space mecha…2 found this helpful
Was fine up to the point where the game introduced caged enemies that will come after you if the cages are lifted.1 found this helpful
Imagina jugar esto bajo LSD daaaayum
I got this game on an ultra steep sale for 89 cents. I figured I couldn't possibly go wrong with a bargain bin game that promised a unique concept. However, in practice, this concept isn't very unique. Standing in a certain area to manipulate "time" which really just manifests as controlling platforms, doors, etc. doesn't play much differently to if the game had you standing on switches to manipulate the environment instead. The game's style looks cool at a glance, but can easily translate to motion sickness if you look at it for any longer than a minute. The graphics are also so poor that it can be hard to even tell what's happening at a distance. Not to mention, the controls are wonky and the voices are 2010s AI. Furthermore, there was a real missed opportunity to attach an emotional story about accepting death told through discovering memories in the protagonist's brain, but instead this game wouldn't have been a much different experience had it had no story and been completely abstract. The digital equivalent of bargain bin trash I would get an hour of entertainment out of by laughing at with a friend, except this is normally 15 dollars. I at least don't regret the 89 cents …
Could barely get myself to play the game through the intro, audio balancing is awful and was unpleasant to control.
Good game. Not worth 15$ tho get it during sales.
