''All of Our Friends Are Dead'' is a 2009 [[Freeware]] game by Amon26. A frightening, disturbing, [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|trippy]], and fun run-and-gun platform shooter that can perhaps best be described as ''[[Contra]]'' [[This Is Your Premise on Drugs|on a really bad acid trip]]; a hellish work of art replete with some of the strangest and most unsettling images you're ever likely to see in a game. The [[Hell Is That Noise|industrial rock/strange noise]] soundtrack and bizarre first-person plural writing only contribute to the [[Surreal Horror|highly surreal]] and drug-like nature of this nightmarish trip. Since the story itself [[True Art Is Incomprehensible|makes absolutely no sense whatsoever]], it is therefore left to [[Epileptic Trees|fan interpretation]] and [[Wild Mass Guessing|speculation]]. The game can be downloaded [http://all-of-our-friends-are-dead.en.softonic.com/ here]. |

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 Contra on a really bad acid trip; a hellish 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/strange noise soundtrack and bizarre first-person plural writing only contribute to the highly surreal and drug-like nature of this nightmarish trip. Since the story itself makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, it is therefore left to fan interpretation and speculation. The game can be downloaded here.
See also Au Sable, another freeware horror game by the same creator.
