About the Game

I SHALL NAME THE DEAD

At a cemetery amidst the Metropolis, the bones of the dead pile up. Robbed of their identities, they remain in limbo, no grave, no dignity.

 

From the entrails of the Metropolis crawls Imaculada.

Cursed with the Worm gnawing at her insides, she makes her way to the Necropolis.

 

There, she’ll speak to the dead and uncover their forgotten names.

 

She shall name the dead.

 

MEMORIALS

  • A new atmospheric horror experience from Tiago Rech, writer of TELEFORUM, I DID NOT BUY THIS TICKET and DROWNED LAKE.

  • Hand-drawn art by Lirio Ninotchka, art director of I DID NOT BUY THIS TICKET.

  • Explore the cemetery, the City Within the City: interact with its denizens and unique sepulchral art.

  • The Worm overtakes your words: burn matches to purify dialogue choices, or allow him to get ever closer.

  • Investigate the clues by the dead, uncover their names, and name them so they can finally be cremated.

  • A surreal, magical-realism horror narrative with no jumpscares.
