But how to get the job done? This fast-paced adventure game gives you exactly 5 minutes to kill yourself before the next boring meeting starts. Fortunately, your office is filled with a great variety of fun and dangerous objects: staplers, copiers, blow torches, a shark tank, and even a pack of rabid weasels.

    -- A three-storey office for you to explore and discover the most
       efficient ways to kill yourself

       possible!
    -- Challenge friends or even a stranger in a race to the death in the
       multiplayer mode
    -- Taunt your Facebook friends with your score showing how well you
       managed to end your life
