So I had a discussion with them. Kit was a 20 year old woman who died due to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
The reason she was in surgery was so she could have her airways opened, but due to the fact that SUDEP is rare, they didn't manage to save her in time.
doom by fate is genuinely awful. I am baffled. I have never felt more disgusted over a roblox game in so long.
the fact that their team once supported me through one of my hardest times, they dont even feel like that same team anymore. I am disappointed, tired & just angry.
Some people don't understand how EASY it is to die from epilepsia.
You can fall, injure yourself with the things around, or literally choke with your tongue and saliva. If no one is around, it's too late already..
Epilepsia Mode/Warnings is the best thing that happened for us and our safety. Let's not change that.
This is the most fucking DISGUSTING shit ever. "Some random" THATS A HUMAN LIFE THAT IS DEAD. DO YOU NOT GRASP THAT CONCEPT? YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING SOMEONE, and you don't even have as much as an apology. Just victim blaming and not caring. My condolences.
A Roblox game killed somebody with epilepsy attack…
Doom by Fate is a Roblox asymmetrical horror game (think Dead by Daylight-style: one killer vs. survivors) On or around April 3-4, 2026, they dropped a big update called "1x" that added a new killer (1x1x1x1) with heavy strobe/flashing light effects (green/black/white flashes).
A player named Kit (who had photosensitive epilepsy) reportedly played the update, suffered a severe seizure from the flashing lights, was hospitalized, and died during emergency surgery less than two hours later.
>The game didn't have a proper epilepsy warning, even though the community had complained about flashing lights in earlier showcase videos and an epileptic player had specifically warned the devs beforehand.
>Devs allegedly added a basic "Flash Toggle" after the incident, but it didn't fully fix the strobing from the new content.
>The devs' (and staff) responses in their Discord and elsewhere have been widely criticized as dismissive, victim-blaming, or straight-up insensitive. Examples from reports and leaks include:
- Calling Kit a "random" and downplaying it because player count was low.
- Suggesting people with epilepsy just shouldn't play video games.
- Demanding "proof" of the epilepsy/hospitalization/death.
- Locking channels and trying to shut down discussion.
It's all still developing (no official statement from Kit's family yet that I've seen), but the outrage is real and spreading fast. The Google Doc that a lot of people are sharing lays out the timeline and screenshots if you want the full alleged details.
