PRAISE OF MAIM STREET “How this was ever dreamed up. What kind of lives must the creators live.” - Chris D. “I enjoyed the ‘squish’ the people make when they get nailed by a car.” - Jill A. “Chaos and lots of deaths, but the fun kind of death.” - Master M. “A crossing guard with an impossible duty to protect innocent civilians from becoming beautiful explosions of blood and body parts.” - Dana A. “I've never played anything like it before.” - Garrett M. “It gets too hard too fast.” - Coward who doesn’t yet understand real life DISCLAIMER Not recommended for those uncomfortable with coming to grips with the frailty of human existence.
