#HAVE A NICE DEATH PRISMIUM FULL VERSION#
The game entered Early Access on March 8th, 2022, and the full version released on Mait can be found on Steam. Have A Nice Death is a side-scrolling 2D Platforming Roguelite by French creators Magic Design Studios, the creators of Unruly Heroes in the vein of Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, Death must hack and slash through a hauntingly whimsical world, using his trusty scythe and an arsenal of dark magic. With the world and company in chaos (and his plans for a vacation in Bora Bora rapidly disappearing), it's up to the Reaper to grab his scythe and take his company back from the Sorrows, one swing at a time. This led to them intentionally flowing more souls than necessary and going well beyond the quotas needed, causing havoc in the living world - and Death Inc.

They grew arrogant in their positions and began completely ignoring company protocols to brag about how many souls they could reap. You see, once Death got too busy to oversee them directly, the Sorrows let the power go to their heads. Only to get slowly burnt out as he became subsumed by a tidal wave of postmortem paperwork. The plan worked perfectly: they collected the souls, and all he had to do was sit back and stamp the documents brought to his desk… and have the Sorrows - powerful death spirits responsible for causing and overseeing different kinds of deaths - go and do all of the busywork for him. Over time, Death grew weary of his job, and his “scythe elbow” got worse. Long before Death had an extensive payroll of posthumous office workers to help in his labors, he did things the old-fashioned way, pruning the dead one soul at a time.
