Dear Developers: Kong displays only the first 30 characters of the summary on the games page. Make them count. Restating the name of the game in the summary is wasteful. For instance in this game we are shown "Why Am I Dead is a retro-style...". A retro-style what? Text adventure? MMORPG? Tetris clone? No thanks.

For the people who made the top comments in 2012/2013, I hope you're satisfied that the devs made an updated version:

Who the heck names their kid Iblis? As if the fact she seems to have supernatural powers and hears ghosts isn't enough...

CRICKET I KNEW IT!! Well, there's just one thing. We were possessing cricket when he is killing Lucille, so i was a bit confused if it's Cricket's own will or ours.

ok, i'm feeling a little let down about the ending, and i'm reasonably good at finding alternate endings, unless i'm actually missing something really well hidden, so if that's the case, could someone throw me a bone here or something?

A strange little tale with plenty of shady characters, but only one of whom can be actually guilty. Mixed feelings about the "possession" mechanic. Lots of pointless conversations, but then I guess the point is that you have to sift out the crucial facts from all the white noise. Didn't like that I had to keep marching back and forth and that the ghost can't go through doors; retro graphics is no excuse for inconvenience. Never got stuck at any point, my usual fear with point-and-click games like these. (Hint: Cricket really is the key player in all this, and you'll have to spend more time with him than anyone else.) Didn't like the pointless mean-spiritedness, but at least it didn't go overboard. Clean it up a bit, make it easier to get around, and you have a nice little casual game. Yes, I actually know what that means. :-) 3/5

I have to applaud you. This game was completely unique. It had a play style unlike that of any other game I have yet found in a game, had an engaging and intriguing story, it had deep and well thought-out characters with different personalities, and it was straight-up fun to play. It became tedious at times, going through each room one by one as each different person, but I was so hellbent on finding answers and learning more about this band of characters that I didn't even notice how much time it had taken until after I was finished playing and looked at the clock. 5/5. I didn't want it to end. I hope more comes out of this, like a series. :)

People of the site, please notice: This version is a little bit broken. This game has a secret/alternate ending, which this very version does not have enabled. If you want to be straightforward, and simply play through, go ahead, it won't get in the way of your experience. But if you want some replay value, this isn't the version to go. I hope the uploader will update it at some point...
