Story[]
The game takes place in an office tower sporting an instrumental loop of 10cc's "Dreadlock Holiday". You play a child character with a demonic skull for a head wielding various weapons. You start off on the ground floor with a chainsaw where you must destroy multiple items to get through the stage and kill a few people. The second floor requires you to hide and emerge from cover with the arrow keys and press space to shoot. This was actually an impressive real-time combat system for its time.
On the first floor, you pass multiple pictures on the wall, one of which is Judge Judy. This is a reference to an earlier game submitted by korded two years previously titled "Judge Judy 1".
2013 Feature[]
On June 3rd 2013, Tom Fulp posted a news post about the game explaining why it was frontpaged. Chance Banning the IRL korded passed away in an accident a month before. You can find out more from the news post itself here.
