About the Game

It’s dusk again in America.

Someone is always dying — rushing from home to home through the endless suburbs, an ambulance driver fails yet again to revive the latest victim of a drug epidemic. Made numb by repetitive tragedy, he seeks excitement the only way he knows how — by stealing from the victims he’s been called to help.

Equal parts mundane and surreal, A TRAGIC ACCIDENTAL STILL LIFE is a three-act arcade adventure that unravels into a vast narrative tapestry of daydreams, prison breaks, and far-flung night flights. Speed through the sprawl. Save your neighbors. Take their stuff — and follow a path of stolen mementos through prisons and reveries across America.

  • There’s no place like home…there’s no place like home… — Explore over 50 uniquely handcrafted homes spread across a vast procedural suburb.
  • Hurry up we’re dreaming — Experience over 40 fully interactive daydreams. Are they memories or fantasies?
  • This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about — Pinball by car and airplane over America’s 50 states and beyond.
  • The trinity test — Play through three distinct Acts, each with its own set of action-adventure mechanics and secrets to discover.
  • The first time as tragedy, the second time as farce — An undemanding hour-long loop with a wealth of new content poised to reveal itself on each successive playthrough.
