The reaper is a crow 🚪🗡️🐦‍⬛🎮

Deaths Door is one of the free PS Plus Essential games for the month of August 2023. This is a meticulously crafted indie title that is well worth your time AND money if you are playing on something besides PS4/PS5 and cannot claim this for free at the moment. You can find this for $20 or less on digital stores (Switch/Xbox/PC) but don't expect to be able to play this on your mobile device.

Death's Door is an enchanting and atmospheric top-down action-adventure video game that captivates players with its unique blend of darkly whimsical storytelling, intricate level design, and challenging combat mechanics. Developed by Acid Nerve and published by Devolver Digital, the game offers players an immersive journey through a mysterious and decaying world where they assume the role of a crow tasked with reaping the souls of the deceased. The crow serves as a "Reaping Agent," diligently performing its duty until an unexpected turn of events leads it on a quest to retrieve a stolen soul, unveiling a larger, interconnected narrative that explores themes of mortality, purpose, and the passage of time.

One of the standout features of Death's Door is its meticulously crafted world. From lush forests to hauntingly desolate landscapes, each area is rich in detail and atmosphere, showcasing a seamless blend of handcrafted visuals and intricate level design. The game's art style employs a minimalist yet striking approach, using a subdued color palette and charming character designs to create a distinct visual identity. As players venture through the interconnected areas, they'll encounter a variety of challenges, puzzles, and formidable adversaries that test their combat skills. Combat in Death's Door is precise and dynamic, requiring players to master a combination of well-timed dodges, swift attacks, and clever use of abilities to overcome a diverse array of enemies.

Beyond its captivating world and engaging gameplay mechanics, Death's Door also stands out for its evocative storytelling. The game weaves a compelling narrative that gradually unfolds as players uncover the mysteries of the world and its inhabitants. The themes of loss, exploration, and the search for meaning are expertly woven into the gameplay experience, encouraging players to reflect on their own journey while guiding the crow protagonist on their quest for answers. With its compelling mix of stunning visuals, challenging gameplay, and thought-provoking storytelling, Death's Door has earned acclaim as a standout title in the action-adventure genre, leaving an indelible mark on players who venture into its enchanting world.

In today's video, I will be showing off why I am already in love with Death's Door after just under 10 hours with the game. I think you will see right away why this is the perfect game to relax and play, while also making sure that you are making full use of that big brain of yours.

Thanks for watching and be sure to drop any comments you may have down below, I will get back to everyone.

I thought it’s something I don’t like but seeing your gameplay, oh my, I might download and play it whenever I have time. Love the art! And so cute!

It’s such a peaceful game and perfect for my mood as of late. I highly recommend this one and I look forward to finishing it. I love when we get great indie games for free with ps plus. I had never heard of this game until this month.

Yeah, I really wouldn’t be able to know of the game not until I read it in your post. Sometimes there are really great indie games out there, hidden 😅

There’s just so many. Hard to keep up with it all.

Oh snapple I need to remember to claim my PS+ games! Loving the art style in this one. Very Bastion-like.

I haven't missed a month since around 2019. I claim everything, even if I don't plan to play it. I was surprised that Death's Door was so fun, but I really love this one.

Chosing crows as main characters, seems strange.

Crows represent death, danger, misfortune, and illness but also rebirth, self-reflection, intelligence, and loyalty, and as such can be both good and bad omens, depending on the culture and beliefs.

I'm sure now you will agree that having a crow main character is the perfect fit for this game considering you are reaping souls when playing.

I think the owl represents them in my country.

Owl and crow both have deeper meanings.

YOU know NOTHING jon SNOW!

:P

get it? cuz he was a crow..

but yea, great looking game!

What a great name/title for a game! and what a great game! I checked the video and the gameplay reminded me of Kung Fu Panda probably because we see animals fighting in that movie.

I love the whole concept they have going with this one.

Enjoy your relaxed style of gaming video. ❤👍 also getting this game it looks amazingly fun! Thanks!

I wonder how it will be to play a game on PS5
I have not used it but I heard it is very wonderful
I've only used PS4

When will I return to the gaming world 🥺

I haven't played this game yet but the way you describe it and we can see in the video that it is very interesting, I will definitely start playing it soon.
