Death by HYPE is a melee Boomer-Shooter focused on fast-paced combat. The game takes place in the middle of the HYPE virus pandemic, and you (as an essential worker) must attend your shift at the beloved restaurant chain KAFC (Karlos Frango Cozinha), to sustain the needs of never-ending HYPEhead shoppers. In an unfortunate-- but predictable turn of events, your coworker bites your hand, and with the imminent infection ready to take its toll, you decide to go out by fullfilling your lifelong dream: taking out your pent up frustration on all your HYPE-ified customers. Punch, slice, and stab through the maze corridors of the mall. Enter the stores and find out what happened with the other employees and survive as long as you can in this arcade boomer-puncher experience.
