Well-designed and appealing, Is This Game Trying To Kill Me? Is a title that I really hope spawns a series, as the developers clearly have a knack for this genre, and it’s a premise that has legs. A huge recommendation from us at GF, and definitely one for those out there who want to get their grey matter pulsing whilst also hiding behind a pillow.

Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? is a short but satisfying adventure puzzler with plenty of variety and takes its game within a game concept quite literally, especially when it kills you.
