BUT DON'T MOVE THE MOUSE ITSELF! BABY WILL FALL!

Death has come to take Hideous Kojira-san to the Underworld. However, the tricky old bugger has tricked Death itself by grabbing onto a falling baby.

Now Death has no choice but to wait for the baby to be dropped, as the baby has so much to live for still!

Who's going to give up first? Will Kojira-san drop the baby? Or will Death wrap it up for the day and go home?

1. Grab the baby.

2. Do not drop the baby.「very difficult - easy to get distracted!」

Many industry experts are calling "Death Standing" one of the hardest games ever made. 

"After playing Death Standing, I realized I had no choice but to give my copy of Dark Souls to my 5-year-old nephew, as he seemed to be a more suitable audience. 

I wish I had known what true gaming difficulty is like sooner!"

"In our over-stimulated society, it's not difficult to press a bunch of inputs quickly, it's painless! But to sit still and rest?"
