Killing Room

Killing Room is a first-person shooter with roguelike RPG systems and a reality-show parody. You play an (un)lucky contestant on a popular show in a decadent 22nd century, where contestants face glory or death—and death wins in 99 out of 100 cases.

The show

The show puts you in a desperate situation but offers the chance to become ridiculously rich in a few hours, while everyone tries to stop you. Its tone is cruel, darkly humorous and cynical. An AI audience judges your performance: boring play lowers your popularity, while entertaining the crowd can make you its hero. Popularity matters, and annoying the audience can bring consequences.

You can also stream a playthrough and share a provided URL so a real online audience can vote on rewards or punishments. This interaction is optional, and the game remains a complete experience without a live audience.

Combat and survival

Combat uses conventional first-person gunplay with firearms and melee weapons, including a scythe and the audience’s favorite flyswatter. Permanent death, random generation and high difficulty mean that mistakes can cause serious trouble.

The game has 8 randomly generated levels across 3 distinct worlds, each with unique enemies. You face 8 boss creatures with distinct gameplay and intro animations, alongside more than 25 enemy types. Fighting rooms sit alongside puzzle and trap rooms, with additional traps, puzzles and points of interest that offer rewards.

Character and items

Your character has attributes such as Stamina, Health, Speed, Defense and Accuracy, which you can invest in improving. Items can boost attributes or provide other effects and bonuses, including double jumps and immunity to traps. Other items can cause penalties, diseases, prevent you from running or make you lose an eye.

There are more than 15 weapons and over 150 unique items.
