From publisher Arc Games and developer Magic Design Studios, Have a Nice Death is a delightfully dark action roguelike adventure, which has players assume the role of Death, leader of the underworld corporation responsible for processing souls in the afterlife.

As the company’s supreme leader, players will explore the darkly charming, procedurally generated departments of the corporation’s headquarters to round up and rehabilitate rogue associates 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. Players can utilize over 70 weapons and spells, along with an array of powerful upgrades, to get the job done and show everyone who’s boss!

Have a Nice Death is also available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
