Escape from Death

Escape Death's grasp and seize control of the Afterlife! In this 256,000-word interactive horror adventure novel by Tova Näslund, your spirit is trapped in a nightmarish realm ruled by the tyrannical Death. Navigate a world of political intrigue and soul magic, where the line between life and death blurs.

Your journey begins with your body teetering between worlds, your spirit thrust into the oppressive Afterlife. Here, Penitents—twisted animal-human hybrids—toil at the bottom, while the Elect revel in luxury. A mysterious corruption threatens this already unstable realm: performers vanish, sanctuaries are attacked, and a strange illness spreads.

This chaos presents both peril and opportunity. The Clockwork Hall, Death's court and the repository of souls, holds the key to ending his reign. Will you overthrow Death, return to the living, or claim the throne yourself?

Your Choices Shape Your Destiny:

• Choose your identity: Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bisexual.
• Forge alliances: Romance a Penitent guide, a bird-woman revolutionary, a warrior escaping Death's control, or an idealistic healer.
• Master soul magic: Peer through the veil between worlds, see the dreams of others, and capture memories of the living.
• Choose your allegiance: Side with the Penitents, the Elect, or strive for acceptance from both.
• Plot your strategy: Remain hidden, infiltrate Death's court, forge political alliances, or launch open conflict.
• Determine the Afterlife's future: Uphold Death's rule, install a new ruler, or seize the throne for yourself.

Can you escape the darkness and forge your own path?
