As the crow flies… or dies…
Devolver Digital hasreleased a new gameplay trailerfor the morbidly attractive adventure gameDeath’s Door.This strange tale of life, death, resurrection, and the working class strain of the 9-to-5 launches on PC and Xbox July 20.
If you’re yet tocheck out my preview, (and WHY NOT?), then allow me to refresh the ol’ brain cells.Death’s Dooris an isometric RPG that follows a hapless and tired “Reaper”, whose typical daily grind turns into a major disaster when the soul they are assigned to collect is stolen by a old, mysterious bird. Chasing the thief down, the reaper soon learns of a severe situation that will see our protagonist putting in some major overtime.
Oh, also, the reaper is a crow with a little sword.
Death’s Dooris the work of two-man British studio Acid Nerve, and features an audio/visual style that seems far beyond that of two talented designers. Add to this a dry sense of humor, a charming-yet-grim premise, and deliberately paced but engaging gameplay, andDeath’s Doorcould prove to be one of the biggest underground hits of the summer — perhaps the whole year. If you dig the trailer, then keep an eye out forDeath’s Door,launching on PC and Xbox One July 20.
