What is Stayin' Alive?

In this first-person multiplayer action game, wheelchair-using retirees try to end their lives while nurses intervene. Across retirement-home, hospital, and forest maps, retirees craft lethal items and hide, while nurses find rescue tools, sedate opponents, and confine them. Matches last a few minutes, support up to eight players per side, and award points for deaths or confinement.
