"20 mins to the meeting, or you’re Dead Before Work!" It's Archie's unluckiest day. From broken alarms to a city that’s literally out to get him. Sprint through physics-based chaos, dodge cosmic-level bad luck, and rack up gag points. Can you survive the world’s most lethal commute?
Dead Before Work: The Commute is a physics-driven comedy runner where every step can trigger a chain reaction disaster.
Get crushed. Get launched. Earn Gag Points.

Unfortunately, today it's Archie's turn.
A broken alarm clock was just the opening act. Now, Archie must face a city that has transformed into a massive, lethal Rube Goldberg machine—where even the laws of physics are conspiring to ensure his failure.
20 minutes to the meeting. It’s a sprint against a meticulously designed gauntlet of "Accidental Malice." Falling AC units, rogue taxis, and erupting manholes aren’t just obstacles; they are part of a grand, absurd chain reaction designed to physically dismantle poor Archie.
Your boss wants you on time.
Your friends want to make things even worse.
Will you survive the commute...
or build one nobody else can?
New traps, community maps, seasonal updates, and featured creations are coming throughout development.
The best community creations may even become official playable stages in future updates.
The commute never stays the same.
