Who Must Die (2018)

Laureate of the Epic Game Jam of November 2015, "Who Must Die" places you in the difficult role of a replacement doctor tasked with identifying a contaminated patient from three individuals. Employing a variety of experiments and the assistance of a guard for more direct actions, you must ultimately select one patient to terminate. However, the game presents a challenging dilemma: can you bear the weight of such a decision, or will you opt for the ultimate abdication of responsibility and refuse to choose? "Who Must Die" is a simulation that provides an escape room-like experience, compelling players to confront the gravity of their choices and their profound impact on human life. Through exploration, investigation, and direct observation of outcomes, the game fosters a deep awareness of consequence. This compelling simulation, born from an award-winning prototype at the Epic Game Jam, was later refined into a more extensive and replayable experience by the ambitious French student team, White Chamber. Their dedication, comprising two game artists, two programmers, and a sound designer, culminated in this thought-provoking title, now published by Plug In Digital. The studio's commitment to delivering impactful and engaging games, as evidenced by their portfolio, makes "Who Must Die" a standout addition to their curated list, offering players a uniquely immersive and morally challenging journey.
