Dead Serious Games

Dead Serious Games

Silly games about serious things.

It started when my 8-year-old son asked for a Nintendo Switch, and I suggested we make our own games instead. Dead Serious Games is the result: a one-person studio in Antwerp (with a very demanding play-tester) making silly browser games where great minds settle their differences in the least dignified way possible.

Authors' Kart (American Edition): our first game. Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Morrison, Ellis, Capote, Steinbeck, Kerouac and Twain race each other across  8 different literary locations. At the end of the Grand Prix, a mystery author awaits on a hidden track. 

Philosophers’ Fight: our second game. Socrates, Kant, Nietzsche, Hegel and friends finally settle things in person, with Reviewer 2 waiting at the top. Launching on World Philosophy Day, 19 November.

Every game is free to play in your browser, with no download. Follow us to hear about new fighters, new arenas and new games.

Ludus non est iocus. (The game is no joke.)
