Electric chair in Hangillion

What it is

He is strapped into a chair in a bare cell with a metal cap on his head and a cable running to a generator. The lamp flickers harder with every wrong letter and the needle on the generator creeps into the red.

Everything is drawn in pixels, in black, gray, white and two reds, and it is a cartoon: no real people, no real places. It runs in your browser, with no download.

How it plays out, one wrong letter at a time

1. 1. A steady lamp.
2. 2. The lamp starts to flicker.
3. 3. Sparks at the generator.
4. 4. The needle rises.
5. 5. The lever is ready.
6. 6 (the last life). The lever goes down.

Guess the word before the last step and he lives. The scene eases back and he smiles.

What you hear

A crackling buzz, a scream, then silence and a thud. The sounds are made in your browser, so there is nothing to load, and you can switch them off with the sound button.

Setting: A brick cell with a generator on the wall.

How to get it

It comes with Hangillion Max: every ending, now and later, and unlimited words. You can watch it loop in the “Ways to die” gallery on the Hangillion menu, whether or not you own it.
