Description

Welcome to Have a Nice Death 1.0!
Huge thank you to our community during our Early Access journey! You can now experience the eighth department - the Inevitable Time Department - with a new boss, mini-boss, enemies, the end of the storyline, "quality of death" improvements and much more.



Discover and explore the darkly-charming, procedurally-generated departments of Death Inc., where you’ll meet a diverse cast of memorable characters—like your affable pumpkin-headed assistant, Pump Quinn—who are always willing to share the latest office gossip



Sharpen your skills (and scythe) through fast-paced hack n’ slash combat, utilizing over 70 unique weapons and spells you can find and upgrade to create devastating combinations



Since Death can’t die, use what you’ve learned and earned to overcome the numerous minions and bosses in each department of Death Incorporated... over and over. A performance review after every run guarantees that you’ll unlock interesting items and upgrades that will help you progress on your journey



Taking more power for yourself is a controversial move in Death Incorporated’s company culture. For instance, adopting a Curse upgrade for yourself might result in the Labor Inspector granting your subordinates enhanced powers, or worse, raising the cost of koffee and other items that are vital to your work output

Let me preface by saying: roguelikes are my jam. I 100%ed Hades 2. This game is too artificially difficult, and not just for me. When I beat two MID-GAME bosses, I got a Steam achievement that showed an extremely low

WANT to love this game. It has so much going for it. Great art, characters, cool design. But it MASSIVELY suffers from artificial difficulty. Game feels great most of the floors then during boss fights you simply can’t

Have A Nice Death is a really intresting 2D rogue-like. The game feels like a child of Binding of Isaac and hollow night with a beatiful artstyle and classic combat. Although, sometimes the gameplay loop makes it too

What an incredible indie game. Have a Nice Death really surprised me, just like when I played Hollow Knight for the first time. I’m not usually a fan of 2D games, nor am I a big indie enthusiast, but Hollow Knight

Every rougelike enjoyer should try this game out. Was surprised at the initial difficulty and it took some time to figure things out to beat the game but It was very rewarding to finally beat the game... only to realize

I love the graphics and the idea of the premise of the story... But there is no progression over runs to make the character stronger, which means you're stuck doing the same runs again and again with very little
