The highly anticipated 2D action roguelike, Have a Nice Death, is officially out and ready for players to dive into. Developed by indie studio, Monster Tooth Studios, Have a Nice Death puts players in the shoes of an overworked Death, whose employees have thrown off the balance of souls and ruined his vacation plans. It's up to the player to restore order in the Inevitable Time Department by showing their employees who's boss.

Since Death can't die, players can use what they've learned and earned to overcome obstacles and progress on their journey. With a performance review after every run, interesting items and upgrades can be unlocked to help players on their quest.

However, taking more power for oneself is a controversial move in Death Incorporated's company culture. Adopting a Curse upgrade for oneself may result in the Labor Inspector granting subordinates enhanced powers, or worse, raising the cost of vital items like koffee.
Have a Nice Death is a darkly-charming and addictive game that offers endless replayability. With its unique concept and engaging gameplay, it's definitely worth checking out.
