Beyond Death

Explore dark secrets as an undying wizard's corpse.

This game is the result of a deep desire to enjoy playing through the full experience of being a lich. I wanted a game that covered both the personal aspects of forsaking one's life in order to "live" as an undead magical creature (and its implications) and the power fantasy of managing a mighty undead horde, keeping and building your own lair and studying/experimenting with powerful dark magic.

The first chapters of this story are where you experience the last moments of a man who's life has led him to take part in the horrible ritual that imprisions his own soul outside of his body, turning him into an immortal undead abomination. You will also follow along his first steps in his new form, and guide him to safety or to his doom.

Later on, you should be able to manipulate and recruit your first minions and servants in order to properly set up your lair, so that you can finally begin to understand the consequences of your transformation. Will you corrupt and sacrifice the nearby villages in order to ensure your "survival"? Or will you keep yourself hidden, conducting your research and experiments in hiding, attempting to avoid drawing the attention of any powerful enemies?

The endgame is still not entirely decided. There are many paths that this story could go into. Depending on my available time and resources, I would certainly like to add many different outcomes to the story, and it does not need to have a clear ending. Maybe any feedback the game recieves could help it take shape.

I'm not a native english speaker, so corrections and advice are always welcome, just try to be respectful if possible.

And that's it! If you get the opportunity to try the game out, please let me know your thoughts in the comments!
