Death Row 2 Game Boy

WARNING

Death Row 2 is a game for adults and contains themes not suitable for minors. You should be 18 years or older to play.

INTRODUCTION

Death Row 2 is a short, dense, horror role play game set on death row. The player has been sentenced to the electric chair for a crime they probably did commit. Your challenge is to help them escape.

The first half of the game takes place over six days, with the player electrocuted on the sixth day. You have three actions each day to stop that from happening.

BACK ON DEATH ROW

Following the success of Death Row, I'm back with Death Row 2! With this game I made 2x almost every aspect of the original. That means double the characters, twice as many rooms, richer narratives, and two times the gameplay set over 12 days!

FEEDBACK

"Death Row 2 is a fantastic expansion of the original concept of the first game. You're gonna die, a lot, and the puzzles you have to solve in order to escape will live rent free in your head until you finally beat them. If you liked Death Row, you will LOVE Death Row 2." - Mike's Gaming Gala

"A wonderful follow-up to the original game. If you love logical puzzles then this game is a great escape, literally!!" - Feliz

DIFFICULTY

This game is like groundhog day on death row. Expect to die several times along the way and have to complete several run-throughs to complete the game. The game is short enough to allow this.

The game will take 2-3 hours to complete if you are very focused but longer if you take your time and enjoy the atmosphere.

A passcode will be provided after part one to allow you to jump ahead, but bear in mind a passcode does not guarantee you can escape!

CONTROLS

Standard RPG rules apply. Direction buttons move you around and use button A to interact. Death Row evolves slowly as the days pass, so it pays to revisit things you have already interacted with.

NARRATIVE

A lot of time has gone into the story, characters and narrative. I recommend reading the narrative at least the first time around. However, in the main hall, narratives can be toggled on/off with SELECT.

COMPATIBILITY

The game is for the Game Boy Original and should be playable on any Game Boy or emulator that can play .gb files.

NEW! A .pocket file is now available for the Analogue Pocket.

On some handhelds you can copy the zip itself. This will ensure the .gb file doesn't get corrupt.
