General

'Death to the Universe: ACT I' is a story-driven, 3rd person platformer which takes place at the end of time. Play as Death, who as a concept has begun to gradually lose meaning, yet clings on to the duty of his job despite The Universe falling apart. The Universe itself, a playful and antagonistic character, mocks and challenges Death at every turn. Follow Deaths existential journey towards the final souls, as he reveals underlying truths about the underlying fabric of The Universe and learns that his job might be more complex than he anticipated. The game is a mix of dark humor, cosmic absurdity, and existential reflection, blending entertaining gameplay with narrative depth.
