Themes of Death Depicted in Electronic Literature

This Is How You Will Die


 

  This Is How You Will Die  is a random death generator which is set up  like a casino machine and conglomerates five randomly generated  scenarios to create a somewhat coherent story of how you die. This ‘game’ was created by Jason Nelson who , it would seem , was attempting to create a whimsical ‘death generator’ and did not mean to actually talk about death, its horrifying realities and the many ways it can hit you. None of the possibilities in the game, by themselves or together, seem serious enough to be real, let alone scare the player. 

'This Is How You Will Die' is a clear, innovative representation of the idea that death is random and unpredictable. 

The player clicks on the death spin button so as to get an outcome of how you will die. Each player has demise credits which we lose after every spin. The player must have at least ten credits so as to spin.
