About Death Howl
- Death Howl is a genre-defying soulslike deck builder that follows Ro, a mother who refuses to accept the loss of her son, Olvi.
- While minimalist in presentation, Death Howl leverages a striking art style with profound, harrowing themes that revolve around grief, sorrow, survival, and acceptance.
- Death Howl demands sharp hunting instincts to anticipate enemy movement and learn attack patterns.
- True to soulslike tropes, defeat is not the end but part of the learning path. Resting reinvigorates Ro, but also grants fallen foes life anew.
- Death Howl combines these soulslike mechanics with tactical, grid-based combat, deck-building systems, and action-RPG exploration across eerie, hostile biomes.
- Each region introduces new enemies, abilities, cards, and choices that will shape player progress.
