Five Minutes to Kill (Yourself)

Continuing our POWAH PACK!, we have our third addition, which is adultswim's "Five minutes to kill (yourself)"(right to the review)You know how whenever you play a game, you get frustrated when you keep dying? Well, now it's quite the opposite! In this game, you play an overworked, underpaid cubicle worker. He is sick and tired of going to boring meetings of boring boringness. So he makes a resolution that if he has to go to one more meeting he's going to end it. Just as he says this, he receives an email from his boss entailing him that he must attend a meeting in five minutes, remembering what he said previously, he looks for a way to kill himself.

Using various combinations, interactions, and even a conversation option, you look for ways to fatally injure yourself. You only have five minutes so you must be quick, lest you be late AND alive, to the meeting. You can talk to your coworkers to get them to kill you by pissing them off enough, or you could simply put a trophy in a microwave and sit back and watch the literal fireworks in effect. However, there are no true one hit kills, so you just have to look for the best and most graphically painful situation, such as getting devoured by a shark. This works in a percentage style damage system whereas you get a set percent out of 100 of damage when you do something to cause pain. Surprisingly, you can't pass out nor can you be completely killed by being hacked to death by a clown in a bathroom stall. Speaking of the bathroom, there are multiple levels of play (what did you think I was gonna say?) that include a mail room, bosses office, copy room, bathroom, and of course, the main room.

This game is so full and satisfying that I haven't even seen all of the possible combinations, There are three or four versions of the game, one of which is a reboot with cooler graphics etc. This game isn't too bad really, I might even recommend it. It's good enough to deserve an A-.
