Welcome to Death, Inc.

Have a Nice Death invites you into the quirky and darkly charming world of Death, Inc., a place filled with unexpected characters and unexpected challenges. As the overworked CEO of Death, you navigate the intricately designed, procedurally-generated departments of your company. Each area introduces quirky personalities, such as your cheery pumpkin-headed assistant, Pump Quinn, who dishes out office gossip, offering a blend of humor amid the chaos of your duties.

Fast-Paced Hack and Slash Combat

Combat is at the heart of Have a Nice Death, encouraging players to hone their skills in high-octane battles that fuse roguelike elements with action-packed gameplay. Armed with your trusty scythe and a collection of over 70 weapons and spells, players can create devastating combinations. Every encounter escalates the challenge, demanding quick reflexes and strategic choices as you dispatch enemies and tackle bosses across the many departments of the company.

Repeated Runs and Performance Reviews

Since your character, Death, can’t die, every run serves as both a challenge and an opportunity for growth. After each session, you receive a performance review that sheds light on your progress. This review process isn’t just a formality; it’s a gateway to unlocking various items and upgrades that will enhance your abilities, helping you to strategize better in subsequent runs and tackle even tougher foes.

The Irony of Curses in the Workplace

In Have a Nice Death, power comes with consequences. You might opt for Curse upgrades that promise increased strength but risk upsetting the delicate company balance. For instance, adopting a Curse might empower your subordinates but could lead to the Labor Inspector imposing penalties, such as raising coffee prices—vital for keeping your workforce operational. Every decision carries weight, making each run not just a test of skill, but also a test of strategy.

Diverse Departments to Explore

Exploration in Death, Inc. is anything but boring, with each department presenting a new set of challenges and lore to explore.

You’ll encounter a variety of themed areas, each filled with unique visual elements and enemies, all tied together by the overarching narrative of the workplace unease and the charm of the grim.

Lighthearted Yet Challenging Narrative
