Press release:
What’s this trailer about?
In this new “Life in the Afterlife” series trailer for “Have a Nice Death“, you can take a carefree tour of Death Inc., your new home away from home when the darkly charming roguelike launches on Nintendo Switch and PC on March 22.
Can you give me a non-audio tour of Death Inc.?
Sure! Death Inc. is the Underworld’s leading the mega corporation in charge of processing souls into the afterlife. As a sprawling corporate empire, Death Inc. has many morbidly-themed departments — like the Industrial Pollution Department, which oozes with charm, and the Physical Illness Department that’ll take your breath away.
Each department is run by a powerful executive, known as a “Sorrow”, but unfortunately for you, they’ve been running rampant — leaving you with more work to do, so you’ll have to overcome their deadly abilities and show them who’s boss.
Before you start hack’n’scything away across Death Inc., we highly recommend checking out this blog post to learn more about its departments and the Sorrows who run them: https://www.haveanicedeath.com/en/news/article/11536713
What’s after the tour?
On March 1, we’ll drop the third and final “Life in the Afterlife” series trailer, “Tools of the Trade”, that’ll share all the tools of mass destruction (or as we like to say “death-struction”) you can have in your arsenal!
