Sharpen your scythe, Xbox followers, and present the underworld who’s boss.
We’re so excited to see our recreation, Have A Good Dying, launch on Xbox. For the anecdote, every thing originated from a bit sketch of Dying scribbled by the Artistic Director, Nicolas Leger, within the nook of a web page throughout an Unruly Heroes assembly (our first recreation). This sparked a dialog about what it could be like if Dying have been in control of the underworld and labored in a conventional workplace setting. With every thing that’s been occurring on the earth, Dying would in all probability be fairly busy processing paperwork for incoming souls and in determined want of a trip.
“I assumed it had nice visible potential: easy proportions, clear silhouette, an apparent and iconic weapon, and this idea of a shapeshifting cloak instantly gave me concepts for motion and fight,” Leger says. “It was only one or two months later that I made the subsequent step with a staged gameplay video throughout my free time.”
And that is how it began. Now, let’s dive deep into what may curiosity you: The gameplay of Have a Good Dying!

This happens by providing the participant many decisions whereas switching up gameplay as to not encourage “save-scumming,” for instance.
