Our take on Execute
The defining structure is an incremental countdown from 8 billion people to zero, beginning with a guillotine and expanding into machines and nuclear supply chains.
What is Execute?
Execute is a short incremental game on a cursed Win98 desktop.
It begins with a guillotine and assigns captured people to its machinery. As progress continues, mines, contraptions, and other scalable machines become available. The game also features nuclear logistics: constructing weapons, sending them into use, and increasing the rate of destruction. Its repeating cycle involves collecting victims, expanding available methods, improving production, and starting the cycle again.
