Death Insurance

The Game
Welcome to your new role in the claims department at Bliss life insurance. Investigate client deaths from the comfort of your desk, thanks to the company's proprietary Lexicontological computing system.
A 3D scan has captured every object at the exact moment of the client's death, but you can only view one object at a time. Read your Retriever's report, check the sketch, then start searching. View objects in 3D, from the mundane to the disconcerting, and move them around to find hidden details and unlock new names.
Collect more objects, details, and names to piece together the true cause of each client's death.
A curious cast of cubicle-mates, and unexpected visitors, will keep you company through the oppressive quiet of the 9th floor. Each day uncovers more of the company's mysteries, and by the weekend you'll come to know the true meaning of Bliss.
The Team

Otto
Otto is a Glaswegian programmer and a jack-of-all-trades creator with an MEng in Computer and Electronic Systems. He's worked as a corporate web-developer for seven years, specialising in design, digital accessibility, and tooling. His side projects have run the gamut from YouTube and Twitch channels, to 3D printing and organisational tools.
Otto has an (un)healthy reverence for the medium, with thousands of hours clocked across every genre under the sun, and has followed the industry closely since the days of the Wii News Channel. In 2025 he entered the GMTK Game Jam with some friends, and created BLEEP, scoring top 1% in the audio category. Since then he's been regularly entering jams, and has won first prize in the Duck Sauce Jam with Plan-it Planet.
Dan
A writer from the U.S., living in Glasgow for the past 25 years. He's a fan of metal, punk, horror, and science fiction.
His short stories have appeared in Hybrid Moments: A Literary Tribute to the Misfits (2016, Weirdpunk Books), Disease of Finitude: David Cronenberg Inspired Microfiction (2025, Antilogos Press), and Folkloric: A Magazine of New Folklore (2025). He has also published numerous academic chapters on contemporary horror fiction. He gained his PhD in English Literature from the University of Glasgow, focused on ‘ecomonstrous poetics’ in R. A. Lafferty and Cormac McCarthy.

NO GEN-AI. EVER.
