Game DescriptionThe basic idea behind the original Karoshi was completely counter-intuitive to most games: in every level you must FIND A WAY TO KILL YOURSELF. It was harder than it seemed! In Karoshi 2.0, creator Jesse Venbrux extends that metaphor across 42 more levels.

Excellent idea, excellent implementationby raelz
This is by far the most innovative game I’ve ever played. I think after playing this, every game designer slaps himself “why didn’t I think of this before!”. And really – the idea behind Karoshi is simple – you have to kill yourself. And it is NOT as easy as it sounds!Ok, that would be the innovative idea. Good. But the real power of Karoshi is, that it is extremely well done game! There are 42 levels and most of them are very clever or/and funny. Sometimes it feels like some “I wanna be the anti-guy”, because the game keeps you from killing in ways on the same hilarious-level as I wanna be the guy tries to kill you.
There is nothing to point out as a mistake. The graphical style feels just right for a game like this, the music isn’t somehow exceptional, but still good. What I am trying to say: stop reading this review and download the game for god’s sake!

Brilliant!by Logiebear42
The thing I love most about Karoshi is the way of lateral thinking you have to adopt to solve many of the puzzles. The first levels make you learn the game mechanics and the later levels make you break them.Loved every minute of it, and I mean EVERY minute.
