Death is coming, for free, to the Epic Games Store – and that’s a good thing! NExT Studios’ freak accident puzzle game Death Coming will be available for free from Thursday, May 7 to Thursday, May 14 on the Epic Games Store to any mortal soul seeking a bit more control over the lives (and deaths) of others. Death Coming’s free offer comes as the upcoming and beautifully animated roguelike RPG from NExT Studios, Crown Trick, continues its closed beta period until Wednesday, May 20.
Death Coming puts the Reaper’s powers in players’ hands as they experiment with ordinary objects that lead to extraordinary demises. Each level is a large non-linear puzzle within a variety of environments – including a suburban neighborhood and a secret military lab – brimming with unsuspecting people whose reactive AI alters their behaviors when something happens to, or nearby, them. It’s all wrapped in a devilishly morbid sense of humor, vibrant pixel art style and an ultimately touching reflection on humanity that just might make players rethink their actions by the game’s end.
NExT Studios is also giving away, for free, Steam key bundles containing five of the developer’s top games: Unheard, Bladed Fury, Iris.Fall, Biped and Death Coming. The “High 5 with NExT at Home” giveaway event begins Friday, May 1, with one game being given away each day until Tuesday, May 5. Players only need to stay updated on NExT Studio’s Twitter for details on how to enter.
