We Are So Dead: The Spiritual Communication Game Gets Interesting

We Are So Dead costs about $5 and promises cooperative entertainment for groups of friends looking for a communication challenge. The main loop guides you through nine floors of a haunted house, but the interesting twist is that one player dies first and must communicate with the others using a Ouija board.

This game puts the dead player in a frustrating situation: you can see the danger that lurks for your teammates, but communication is limited. The idea of being a ghost guiding others while they misinterpret your attempts at help creates funny and challenging situations.

The Ouija Board as a Tool

The innovative use of the Ouija board for communication is key. Although the living players can only respond with yes or no to the questions the ghost asks, this system creates a unique tension and requires a lot of patience and strategy to be understood.

The game emphasizes communication and cooperation. It's not just about solving puzzles, but also about managing the humor and frustrations that arise when your friends misinterpret your spiritual signals incorrectly.

The magic is in the collective frustration and how you work together to overcome it.

Technical Issues Interrupt the Flow

Although the idea is brilliant, We Are So Dead presents some technical issues. Players report bugs that can disrupt the game and make it frustrating rather than fun.

Additionally, some mechanics seem too simple to be effective. For example, the ability to beat the game using only lights indicates that there's room for improving the difficulties and challenges in some levels.
