About Death Run
This game is an adventure game. You have thousands of lives in your hands. The game is full of various agencies. As the controller of the agency, you can repel all people and avoid passing.
How to play Death Run
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.

Why it is worth playing
