With each choice, you find out how they impacted the future and link to the outcome in the end. You are given a short description of each and you choose whether they live or die. You are stuck behind a desk and you must choose the fate of the various people/files that pass through your department. In Death & Taxes, you play Death stuck doing the worst job in the world. In this game, you meet one Death at the department of Death, who acts as a travel agent whose job is to escort your soul to the next life. Good people can take the fast train, whilst the bad must walk the four-year trip. However, the more good deeds you do when alive give you currency in the afterlife for travel arrangements. Grim Fandango takes place in the Land of the Dead (the Eighth Underworld), where recently departed souls aim to make their way to the Land of Eternal Rest (the Ninth Underworld). By possessing the colourful characters you can help them but also uncover why you died in the first place. Penny soon learns she can help the variety of restless spirits with their unfinished business by jumping between the land of the dead and the land of the living. In Flipping Death, you play Penny, a recently deceased woman who meets Death, only to be given his job whilst Death goes on Holiday. When Death finally lands his first Kick Flip, Satan is super jealous.
This hilarious mechanic and the completely oddball story makes for a fun game in which you start by learning to breathe manually and eventually end up thrown in jail with Death, accidentally killing 300 orphans, possess a demon, and take on Satan himself. Sam then makes a deal with the skateboarding obsessed Death to come back to life if he can survive 24 hours controlling all his bodily functions manually. This amusing indie game sees selfish Sam die and get sent to hell. To celebrate the unusual relationship that gamers have with the grim reaper (in all his forms), we run down 13 games with Death as a key character. Video games also enjoy the benefit of giving players a chance at meeting death, fighting death, or even taking up the mantle of death itself. However, in video games, you are no stranger to death, as regular respawning and additional lives mean you pop back into digital existence ready for another go. Death comes to us all, but in most cases, it’s to reap our immortal souls or take up to the land of the dead.
