10 Secret Video Game Endings Unlocked By Dying

You Only Live Once is an old flash game with a unique twist: You only get one life to beat it, and if at any point if you die, you won't be able to play ever again.

Because of this, many people's experience with the game ends on the death screen, but what they may not realize is that this is actually only the beginning.

Every time you refresh your browser tab, the game over screen secretly changes, gradually telling the story of your character's death.

The scenes are all based on the way your character died, so if you were killed by a mob, you might see their arrest, whereas if you died to spikes, you'll see how the entire society puts a ban on them in disgust.

To get the whole experience, you have to refresh your death screen several times and then wipe your browser's history to be able to play again and die to a different obstacle.

The endings are all worth the effort, as they're all unique and utterly hilarious, poking fun at the many tropes of classic platformer games.

You Only Live Once is honestly one of the rare situations where dying is more fun than beating the game.
