Games Like Dead Man Waiting

Year 2125.

Capital punishment still exists — but it has been rebranded.

For humanitarian reasons, executions are no longer carried out in prisons or public facilities. They now take place in luxury residential apartments, designed to provide comfort, normality, and dignity during the final hours.

You are placed inside one of these apartments.

No guards. No visible sentence. No explanation.

Only a space designed to observe how you behave when you believe nothing matters anymore.

Dead Man Waiting is a short, first-person narrative experience focused on everyday actions.
