"The best of the best still die like the rest..."
I Expect You To Die (IEYTD) is a VR game series made by Schell Games. The player is a secret agent sent to these escape room-esque missions to try and foil a certain corporation's plans for world domination. The whole game loop is that you're expected to die a gazillion deaths, and from those deaths, you figure out what you should do for the mission. As of writing this, they have three games in the series: I Expect You To Die, I Expect You To Die 2: The Spy and the Liar, and I Expect You To Die 3: Cog in the Machine. A fourth installment has been teased.
The games' official website is here, where you can also find links to buy these games.
Personal Thoughts
God. I love these games so much. Would love to play them someday. Despite its hold on my silly little brain, I haven't played them because I don't have access to a VR headset at the moment. Frankie roped me into the whole thing and I loved her interpretations of the characters, so I caved and watched a playthrough with her, and it WAS SO GOOD!!!! INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE
It's been really fun, trying to read between the lines of what we're given for the characters. I'm excited to see more.

Tie between 2nd/3rd. Until I can actually play them myself, it's hard to pick!

To watch? Party Crasher and Operation:KBOOM. Really enjoyed Death Engine as well.
...Theme Song
Cog in the Machine gave me the most chills. So probably that.
