About the Game

On a fateful day, you awaken ... in a world that feels utterly foreign to you. 

This is where you make a surprising realization: You are... Death?

Why you of all people? And what even happened in the first place?

A TRUSTY COMPANION

A talking sword? A wise mentor? Think again! 

Only a Pig stands by your side! 🐷 

You set off together - but soon a horrible conundrum arises: No one is able to die anymore?! How long will a world without death be able to last?

DUNGEONS

To find answers, you make your way through perilous dungeons. But not every problem can be solved with a scythe! Only those who pay close attention will find a path to the deepest parts of the dungeon and closer to evil's root.

BOSSES

Mysterious creatures lurk in the depths, scheming to obstruct your path. Do they keep guard over the lost souls? Or are they indeed the reason that nobody may ever die again?
