The Outer Zone, in collaboration with 11 bit studios, introduced Death Howl, a game where sorrow meets strategy. This soulslike deck-building adventure brings a heartfelt narrative of grief and healing, combined with tactical gameplay. You can already try the game with its newly announced demo, released alongside 11 bit studios’ Publisher Sale on Steam.
In Death Howl, you take on the role of Ro, a grieving mother navigating a spiritual, Nordic-inspired world. Ro is on a heart-wrenching journey to reunite with her late son. Along the way, she faces relentless spirits and dangerous foes in a dark, ethereal stone-age setting.
The game’s battles are grid-based and turn-driven, requiring careful strategy and adaptability. To overcome these challenges, you must craft and refine your decks of cards, which serve as Ro’s tools for survival. Each new area introduces unique deck types and mechanics, and you can also enhance your decks with powerful shamanic totems to prepare for bosses.
Unlike traditional run-based deck-building games, Death Howl offers an open-world exploration divided into distinct biomes. Grim regions like the Forest of Howling Shadows and Meadows of Delusion not only challenge you but also reveal fragments of Ro’s story. These areas are rich with themes of love, loss, and resilience, unraveling Ro’s emotional journey while uncovering the forgotten lore of this mysterious spiritual realm.
