Cartoon knives, fictional and aggressively caring women, dark humor and strong opinions about boundaries. Every Karen here is a drawing of a type, not a person: fear dressed up as care, the energy that brings us down with ruinous empathy. Your knife only cuts cords. Pop a Karen and her fear pops with her: she comes out upgraded. We love Karens. Nobody real gets hurt, and nobody real gets hugged.
Each one is only here because she cares. Each one has her own voice, her own big three and a lot to say. Tap a dossier to hear her out. She never says the same thing twice in a row. You won't like any of it.
Dossier
Self-care, the hard way
Stab a Karen: click or tap her. Hold to keep stabbing. Near misses still count. She doesn't get hurt: the fear pops and she comes out upgraded.
Smother meter fills while they hug you, film you, or splat you with casseroles. Full means you've been loved to death.
Thrown things glow gold: stab them in the air. If one lands, tap the splat to wipe it.
Combo: hit fast and the multiplier climbs to ×8.
Radical Candor charges as they pop. Press it, or Space, to say what you really think.
Bosses every third wave. When one goes behind a shield, pop her minions and wait it out.
Keys: Space candor · P or Esc pause · M mute · 1 2 3 weapons.

Taking a moment
They'll wait. They're very patient. That's the problem.
