The Short Game

282: Death’s Door


Listen Later

Play as a tiny crow with a huge sword, tasked with reaping souls in a world in which no one has died for hundreds of years. Death’s Door is a top-down exploration and combat focused action adventure game in the mold of the Legend of Zelda, from developers Acid Nerve (the developers of Titan Souls) and published by Devolver Digital.

You can find Death’s Door on Steam for PC and Xbox platforms, where it’s currently a console-exclusive with a $20 price tag. Expect it to take somewhere between 6 and 15 hours to complete. (We recorded a couple of hours before I actually completed the game, but my final clock at credits was 14 hours. How Long To Beat currently lists 6.5 hours for the main story, with most playthroughs in the 6-10 hour range, so perhaps I am just bad at this game! I still had a great time though. Plus: Bird Content!)
