MIX Summer Game Showcase: Death Howl

Death Howl is a soulslike deck builder with a narrative about a desperate mother attempting to defy death itself and bring back her son. Can you fight the spirit world and save what matters most to you?

Developed by The Outer Zone and published by 11 bit studios, Death Howl offers a mixture of genres that hasn't been explored at large, bringing deck-building gameplay with over 150 cards and soulslike fights with reviving enemies and formidable boss fights to overcome. Unravel a tale of death and rebirth as you desperately fight your way to save your child from the grips of death, exploring an eerie spiritual world and unfolding a narrative about grief and resilience.

Here's what you need to know about this unique mixture of genres offered in Death Howl:

• Deck-building elements with 150+ cards to pick from
• Easy to learn, hard to master gameplay that favours mastery through learning
• Numerous decks and builds to select from to give each hand a coat of "you"
• Reviving enemies that return when resting
• Difficult fights that'll require learning enemy moves and utilising tactics to your advantage to come out on top
• Endless mastery, letting you master Death Howl as little or as much as you like
• Grid-based, tactical combat mixing in difficult environments to manoeuvre
• A deeply touching narrative about a mother fighting to bring back her son from the spirit realm

The Outer Zone is an ambitious and bold project from three developers seeking to bring their dream experience to life. It was features as part of the MIX Summer Game Showcase, and you can watch the trailer to learn more about the game in a narrative and gameplay trailer!
