Have A Nice Death is a new, hand-drawn roguelike 2D action game coming to Steam Early Access in March 2022.
Announced at The Game Awards 2021, the game has been consulted on by Dead Cells creator Sébastien Bénard, and gives across similar action vibes – albeit with an unexpected workplace comedy twist.
Starring as Death, players will travel through the headquarters of Death Incorporated, fighting against employees that have been reaping too many souls, with departmental heads as bosses. Each run through the procedurally generated underworld office will even end with a performance review of your skills.
The game will include 30 weapons and spells to use, as well as a number of upgrades that each come with pros and cons.
"If Death had the same routine as us, how would he or she live? This question is the driving force behindHave a Nice Death,” said Nicolas Léger, creative director and animation director at developer Magic Design Studios. “The game mixes our passion for 2D animation, fast and furious combat and compelling visual effects with a macabre universe that comes to life through dark but burlesque humor. The end game is our team’s point-of-view on the contemporary corporate world and a compelling look at what Death’s life would looklike if he were one us."
