Beyond a Total Loss

Beyond a Total Loss follows John Harry, who becomes lost in the woods after driving his car off a cliff. Strange, vicious beasts attack him from all sides until a local game warden rescues him and offers him a gun for protection in exchange for signing a contract. John’s troubles may not be over.

Survive the woods

You shoot horribly deformed creatures and track your health through the amount of blood on your face. The game has a minimal HUD, so you need to remember how many bullets remain. You can mix cocktails and experience their effects, and manage your inventory by fitting its contents together.

People and choices

You can talk to other strange characters or point your gun at them. The game includes verbal abuse from people you hardly know, opportunities to fall in love or look at dirty pictures, and choices that sometimes have consequences and sometimes do not. You can buy new clothes with your booze.

Puzzles and endings

You solve puzzles, including figuring out whether a rusty key fits a rusty lock, and encounter questions about whether worms are moral beings. Decisions you make determine which of three different endings you experience.
