7 | ''All of Our Friends Are Dead'' is a 2009 {{freeware}} game by Amon26. A frightening, disturbing, trippy, and fun run-and-gun platform shooter that can perhaps best be described as ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on a Benadryl trip]]; a work of art replete with some of the strangest and most unsettling images you're ever likely to see in a game. The industrial rock/noise soundtrack and bizarre first-person plural writing only contribute to the [[SurrealHorror highly surreal]] and nightmare-like atmosphere of the game. Since the story itself makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, it is therefore left to [[EpilepticTrees fan interpretation]] and [[WildMassGuessing speculation]]. The game can be downloaded [[http://studioeres.com/mirrors/AOOFAD.zip here]]. |
