Firing squad in Hangillion

What it is

He stands blindfolded against a wall. A soldier walks in for every wrong letter, until a whole line of them is aiming at him. The officer drops his sword and the volley comes all at once, with smoke, sparks and a very ragged wall.

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. An empty courtyard.
2. 2. One soldier takes his place.
3. 3. Two.
4. 4. Three.
5. 5. Four, five.
6. 6 (the last life). The officer lifts his sword.

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

What you hear

A volley of rifle shots, a short scream, a thud and the echo. 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 moonlit yard with a brick 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.
