ABOUT HAVE A NICE DEATH

Have a Nice Death is a hand-drawn 2D Action Roguelike where gamers will assume the role of Death, Founder and CEO of Death Incorporated, the giant underworld organization responsible for processing souls in the afterlife. As the company’s supreme leader, they will explore the darkly charming, procedurally generated departments of the corporation’s headquarters to round up and rehabilitate rogue employees who have been ignoring company protocol and snatching up far too many souls on Earth.

Getting the department bosses—also known as Sorrows—and their minions under control, however, is a difficult task and will require multiple runs to complete. Luckily, players will have an arsenal of weapons, spells and special skills on hand to get the job done.

Developed by Magic Design Studios, Have a Nice Death is now available on Steam in Early Access for $19.99. Announced during the Nintendo Indie World showcase in November, on March 22, the darkly charming roguelike will leave Early Access and officially launch on Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam and Steam Deck) for $24.99.
