DEATH OF A HERO
DEATH OF A HERO is an interactive fiction game set in the Villai's den where you assume control as one party member who has lost their life and are being mourned by other members. You must navigate conversations with a group of grieving adventurers to come face-to-face with your own emotions before eventually reconciling yourself through acts such as writing letters or visiting memorials that will serve the purpose of coming up for air while discussing what you have seen over time, thus healing from loss and moving forward in life.
