About this game
A stolen soul sends a working crow beyond its ordinary reaping duties. In Death's Door, you pursue the thief through unfamiliar territory, fighting beasts and giant tyrants with melee weapons, arrows and magic. Character-stat choices and acquired abilities give you ways to develop your approach to combat. Exploration takes you beyond the Doors to discover secrets and meet unusual inhabitants. The journey combines these encounters with the pursuit of powerful adversaries, while its story treats death through both sombre moments and dark comedy. Your tasks move between overcoming enemies, developing the crow and uncovering what lies in the world beyond its job.
