Fallbearers
Fallbearers is a co-op dark-humor simulation where you and a colleague transport the deceased, grappling with volatile ragdoll physics, changing terrain, and pesky obstacles in the Victorian streets. Please ensure the client arrives in one piece (we certainly won't).

7 itemsAbout the Game
Death comes for us all. And unfortunately, it is up to you and your most incompetent companion to provide some semblance of dignity to the deceased.
The Gravity of the Situation
Fallbearers is a cooperative corpse-carrying game where you must work in perfect unison to maintain equilibrium, or watch our volatile physics engine destroy a family's closure in real-time.
Your ultimate mission is to ensure the beloved relatives of our mourners reach their final, quiet resting place with the utmost respect and care (look, as long as it gets in the hole, we consider it a success. The family doesn't need to know about the dropping part).
A Grave Miscalculation
Unlike the popular Victorian pastime, this isn't a simple walk through the graveyard. You'll have to navigate everything from treacherous seas, pesky ravens and even high-altitude skiing (apres not included).
A single miscalculated step will send the deceased rolling, and you all the way back to the start of your journey.
Till Death Do Us Partner
If you choose to drag another human soul into this miserable line of work, communication is key. Alternatively, you can just both press 'jump' at the same time and hope for the best. It hasn't worked yet, but it's very funny to watch.
A Solo Undertaking
If you possess a profound level of hubris, you may attempt to operate both bearers by yourself. Open-casket chaos is possible with one set of hands, but now you'll only have yourself to blame.
Good luck. You'll need it.
