End of Your Life

An arcade survival game where players have only a few seconds left to live. To survive, they must launch their soul out of their current body, navigate through hazards and possess another character before time runs out. Explore a dangerous dungeon, collect skulls, avoid deadly traps and keep possessing new bodies to achieve the highest score.
