Why Am I Dead is a retro-style mystery game. You've recently been killed. Play as your disembodied ghost, take over control of other people in the hotel and investigate your own murder.
Use WASD to move around the hotel, press the space bar or Z to possess or de-possess people. Press E to open doors and interact with people. Use the arrow keys or W and S to select an answer if there are multiple options during a conversation.

Hey guys! Actually I've made updates to my game prior to today, but haven't edited the description. Fixed some bugs, including the problems Internet Explorer had with the preloader. Yay! I also implemented medals.
...And I also added some extra content! I had originally cut a lot of stuff out of the game, thinking no one would find it or care anyway. But the feedback I've gotten here motivated me to put some more work into the game, even if it's just a little. I want to give a huge, warm THANK YOU to everyone for your time and attention. :D

New version adds a link to a walkthrough in the pause menu, and fixes the unintentionally sadistic placement of the "Return to Main Menu" button.
Thanks to everyone for all of your feedback! I truly appreciate it. This is a really hectic weekend for me, so I've been struggling to react to your feedback as quickly as I'd like to. Thank you for your patience and support.

Uploaded a new version which fixes a bug with Morgan's dialogue and prevents the problem that some of you had with the final part of the game.

So all the good reviews talk about how the story and the twist ending are great... Except that I think that it was the WORST part of the game. To quote a guy on youtube: "You supposedly are a ghost, but it seems like that was more of a required gameplay mechanic. None of the characters even act like the hotel owner while possessed, [...] " Worse, YOU, THE PLAYER, is still possessing the guy at the end. It makes absolutely no sense. Why would THE FVCKING PLAYER do that? Thats not the goal of the game! Good concept and nice gameplay but pretty much ruined by a sh!tty twist. That really kills the game.

WHAT A TWIST!!
I loved it! Very well done. Loved the art-direction and (believe it or not) the fact that not everything was intuitive (it gets boring if things are TOO logical, imho). My only problem was the controls, but even those were well-done, and not worth reducing the rating.
If you have any plans to make anything along these lines in the future, it won't be soon enough for me!
