Sometimes You Die

Sometimes You Die is a game for iPad and iPhone, that is conscious about itself being a game. It constantly questions itself and confronts the player with actions that make him think about what he is actually doing. The release was on 03/27/14, I know that is too early for the festival, but it has got a major update in July, details below.

At its core, it is a puzzle platformer. The central game idea is dying to succeed. The pixel corpse stays where you were killed, and can be used as a stepping stone from now on. Later in the game, you have to pile the corpses to get through the complex, only for being criticized by the narrator again and again.

Describing the Update contains spoilers, so you may want to read it afterwards:

UPDATE: The update on 07/02/14 added the prologue. A new world that you are thrown into, not knowing what to do. You can just walk through it until the end, where you see that you are asked for a code. Eventually when you take a closer look to the levels, you find out that the numbers hide behind the bulbs, that you have to reach with your cube somehow. When you enter the code, something strange happens, leading you through the whole game again.
