It's kinda impossible to get the game for iphone tho

🌟 CARDiac Arrest ruined my life. And I love it. 🌟

I went into this thinking, “Oh, a cute little memory game! Cats and emojis? Adorable!” Fool. I was a fool.

This isn’t a game. This is a stress simulator designed by a caffeine-addicted psychologist who wanted to see how far the human heart can be pushed before it explodes. The game starts off all sweet—just 16 cards. I’m thinking, “Wow, I still got it.” Then by round 6, the grid is the size of a small city, and my BPM is doing parkour. I matched two suns and got a tarot debuff that blurred my screen so bad I tried to match my desktop icons.

I made a mistake once and my heart rate jumped to 350 BPM. That’s not a number. That’s a threat.

There was a moment—I swear this is true—where I accidentally matched two wrong cards, the screen shook, and I felt my soul leave my body. I looked at my reflection in the monitor and it looked back like, “You did this to us.”

Hysteric Mode? That’s not a game mode. That’s a lifestyle choice. I haven’t blinked in 30 minutes. I’ve developed a sixth sense where I feel the cards with my mind. I think my neighbors heard me scream, “DOUBLE EMOJI COMBO!” and now they avoid eye contact.

But here’s the worst part: I can’t stop. Every time I lose, I mutter “one more try” like some deranged card monk seeking inner peace through pain. I’ve never felt more alive… or more dead inside.

In conclusion: If you want to know what it’s like to be a Vegas card shark with an arrhythmia, this is your game. If you want to remember what it’s like to feel fear, play CARDiac Arrest. 10/10. Would risk cardiac arrest again.
