DIENAMIC ENGINE: Death's Designs 💀

It starts with a vision: a bridge collapsing, a mall escalator turning into a meat grinder, a catastrophic stage failure. Do you run? Or do you sound the alarm and look like a maniac?

You survived, and you brought a few strangers with you. But you disrupted the natural order, and now, Death is coming to balance the ledger. Welcome to Death's Design, a brutally dynamic, text-based interactive horror experience.

⚡ A PROCEDURAL HORROR NIGHTMARE ⚡
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Forget static stories. Powered by the DieNamic Engine, every playthrough generates a unique disaster, a unique cast of survivors, and a unique sequence of horrifying, Rube Goldberg-style traps.

🗣️ SAVE THE CAST, WATCH YOUR BACK
The people you save in the prologue have their own lives, jobs, and archetypes. Track them down across the city to warn them—if you can persuade them to listen. But be warned: if you're standing next to them when Death strikes, you're in the crossfire.

💀 MULTI-ROOM HAZARD ENGINE
The environment is actively trying to kill you. Hazards evolve, combine, and spread. An overloaded outlet sparks next to a gas leak. A falling sign shatters a revolving door. The hospital’s MRI machine powers up and violently yanks metallic items from your inventory across the room. Every object is a weapon. Every room is a trap.

📍 EXPLORE A DOZEN DYNAMIC LOCATIONS
Rendered in a stylish, retro CRT terminal aesthetic. Escape the Hospital, survive interrogation at the Police Precinct, and hunt down survivors in their procedurally assigned workplaces—from a grimy Bowling Alley and a cramped Coffee Shop, to a sprawling Carnival and a hazardous Construction Site.

⚡ MASTER QUICK TIME EVENTS
When Death springs a trap, your reflexes are tested. Tap frantically to pry open jammed doors, memorize patterns to dodge flying debris, or make split-second choices on where to dive. One hesitation is fatal.

🎭 CHOOSE YOUR SURVIVOR
Play as one of several-many distinct character classes that completely alter your playthrough:
• 🕵️ Citizen Detective - Superior investigation skills and logic-based persuasion.
• 🔮 Medium - Feel the subtle omens and "Death's Breath" before traps trigger.
• 🚑 EMT - Enhanced healing, medical knowledge, and panic-reduction for NPCs.
• 📰 Journalist - Uncover hidden lore, ask the right questions, and manipulate authority figures.
And soon, Visionary, along with playable premonitions!

🧠 THE DIRECTOR
The Death learns from you. It manages a hidden "Entropy" meter. Play too cautiously? Hazards intensify. Dodge too many traps? The environment turns against you.

🌟 FROM THE DEVELOPER 🌟
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Death's Design is a love letter to fans of the franchise. I've spent months building an engine that actually simulates the paranoia and the intricate, terrifying chain-reaction deaths the series is known for. This isn't just a choose-your-own-adventure—it's a living, breathing trap.

Thank you for playing, and good luck cheating Death!
