Have a Nice Death is leaving early access this year with the launch of the 1.0 build on March 22. Alongside the official launch, the game will be getting another level to play through, World 8: Inevitable Time Department.
First released in early access on March 8, 2022, Have a Nice Death is a roguelike that sees you play as the titular grim reaper, who finds himself feeling burned out and in need of a vacation after his subordinates at Death, Inc. run amok. To remind his underlings that it’s his name on the building and that he’s in charge, Death ventures through the many departments of Deach, Inc. in order to beat the Sorrows under his command back into submission and find out why they’ve become so disloyal.
“There’ll be plenty of [new] story content, as the launch version of the game will bring the conclusion of the game’s main storyline and players will get to discover why the Sorrows, like Catherine, went rogue and into overdrive,” Have a Nice Death narrative designer and marketing coordinator Mérédith Alfroy told GameSpot. “Some specific NPC dialogues will also hint at the broader story, and players will uncover lots of story lore when they unlock Employee Handbook entries.”
