Hey there, death-seekers. So the redux version of the game is nearly ready and we decided to drop a post about how the new sabotage system works.
If you remember, the old system allowed one random player to set "traps", per page, that all other players would run across in their game. Collectively the players could un-set traps and, after enough were un-set, that would boot the saboteur and randomly select another. Well, that system didn't work too well and caused a lot of network traffic for our server; mostly through poor optimization.
We later revamped it to do more of a community pool of traps that updated more slowly and allowed players to earn more saboteur points faster. This is what the current version of the game is using and isn't really what we wanted to do.
With the upcoming version of the game and a new version of GodotSteam, we can finally have the sabotage system more like we intended. So when you boot the game up and click play, you'll have a new game mode called Sabotage.
Selecting this will bring up a server list of available games you can join and sabotage. When a saboteur joins, they will appear in the lower right-hand corner of the HUD. There will also be a five second cooldown after a page displays before the player can make a choice; this gives the saboteur time to "trap" one of the available options, making it blood red on their screen. The player, unaware of which choice is trapped, will pick one as normal but if it is the same as the saboteur then they will die automatically. Picking a choice that isn't trapped will count against the saboteur and after ten successes it will banish the saboteur from the game.
All of this can be turned off in the Options sub-menu, of course.
We will be putting the new version of the game into a beta branch in the next few weeks to let you guys try it out before full release. We will make another post once we get the beta branch up and have a firm date on when the update will be ready.
Stay tuned!

- One Way To Die: Steam Edition Linux x32 [58.88 M]
- One Way To Die: Deluxe Edition
After waking from a terrifying dream of your own untimely death, you attempt to make your way to the Finnigan Brothers' Fun Park for its last day then back home again in this all new text-adventure from CoaguCo Industries. You must survive 10 pages of ridiculous deaths and traps spanning over 157 ways to die with no discernible way to navigate to safety. It's like playing Russian roulette with five chambers loaded, but more frustrating.
Warning, this game is reading. Lots and lots of reading.
The Steam Edition features:
- All-new Choose Mode so you can decide your fate instead of the computer
- 16 new deaths not in the stand-alone desktop version, nor the Android or web versions
- Two holidays modes: Halloween and X-Mas; active on their respective holidays
- New game feature: the Saboteur
- A bunch of new achievements
- Of course, all your stats are backed up on the Steam servers (and CoaguCo's if you have an account)
Now With Choose Mode
The new Choose Mode feature allows the player to pick their fate before each page instead of the computer doing it for you. This must be toggled in the Options section of the game before it is active. Using the Choose Mode feature will give you a prompt before each page asking you to input a number which will correspond with your death or success, then it will show you the result.
Rebuilt
The web-based version of the game has been rebuilt from the ground up for PC (Windows and Linux) so you can repeatedly die across multiple platforms, if needs be. It features various graphical upgrades and sounds, as well as music from Azucar. Much like the Android and web versions, various statistics are logged and displayed to show progress from the different platforms and should allow for cross-platform progression.
