Dead Before Work: The Commute

Dead Before Work: The Commute is a physics-driven comedy runner about Archie’s attempt to reach a meeting in 20 minutes. The morning commute has become a lethal chain reaction, and you guide Archie through a city full of hazards designed to make him fail. You earn Gag Points from the resulting disasters, then unlock traps that can be used to build commutes for your friends.

Survive the commute

A broken alarm clock is only the start of Archie’s run through a massive Rube Goldberg machine. Falling air conditioners, rogue taxis, erupting manholes and other hazards can trigger physics-driven chain reactions, sending Archie crashing or flying. The ragdoll outcomes vary from run to run.

Build your own course

The built-in Level Editor lets you use traps unlocked through gameplay to create and customize your own Commute Hell. You can challenge friends with shareable map codes, but you must clear your own creation before you can share it.

Score and unlock

Trigger chain reactions and build combo multipliers to earn Gag Points. Accidents also earn currency, which you can spend on costumes and deadly traps, or use to expand your Level Editor toolbox. The better you fail, the stronger your next run becomes.
