## What is Death's Door?

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Become a crow who reaps souls. It's a dead-end job, but when a thief steals your work, you set off on a sword-slashing quest to unearth death's secrets.

When your day (and night) job is reaping the souls of the dying, the office can start to feel a little dead — except in the very rare case where a soul is stolen. That's when things get interesting. 

Play as a cute, soul-reaping crow in this fantasy RPG that brings talon-sharp combat to an epic quest for the titan-sized soul that got away. Hack and slash through mysterious magic doors, cutting down wild beasts and tyrannical bosses on the way through dungeons where death isn't working as it should. Which, by the way, is also a problem. Your problem.  

Features:

• Discover an arsenal of magic weapons including swords, hammers, bows and spells and use them to help the crow take down a series of whimsically dangerous dungeon bosses. 
• Customize your crow with upgrades that increase strength, dexterity, haste and magic to shape the most efficient lil' soul reaper around.
• Battle through colorful and quirky realms like the well-appointed Estate of the Urn Witch and the Frog King's swampy dungeon.
• Track down whoever stole the giant soul and uncover larger mysteries that shape the crows' world, their jobs and the nature of death itself.
• Meet a cast of weird and wonderful characters who might have intel on the soul thief. Or they have their own problems to worry about. Problems that only a tiny, soul-reaping crow can solve.

### 5/5 — Great game! 5 stars.

*2025-07-07*

Fun levels, puzzles, and boses. Combat was awesome. Art and feel of the game is amazing. Can’t say enough good things about this game.  Playing on a phone was a little frustrating at the end game where precise control mattered a little more…  and I wish the weapons you picked up were more varied.  Sword you start with is the best for almost the entire game. A tiny bit more of in game instruction would have been nice. Figured out everything on my own eventually but wasted a lot of time looping back for missed things.  Should have let players know about the drop attack.  Went through 80% of the game before I figured out the sewer grates. All
Minor things that didn’t take away from the experience.  Props to the devolper.  A joy to play.

### 3/5 — Saving doesnt work.

*2025-06-30*

Great game, be ready to replay the same parts over and over again though. You can exit to title and save manually, but that doesnt mean the game actually saved. Even if it does save then, it could revert to a previous save at any point in the future, throwing any progress away. I know this is the case too because I soft-locked myself behind the door to fight the last lord and had to exit and save, then reload to spawn on the correct side of the door. Closed the app and reloaded the save, right where i was with no issue. An hour later I exit and save after using the clock tower (unlocks after beating last lord), reloaded the save and I am back before beating betty. What is the point of a save feature if it doesnt actually save?

### 2/5 — Doesnt save progress.

*2025-06-30*

Such a good game gone to waste. I completed 1 dungeon  a half of another, found 4 gems, accuired another spell, etc. in one sitting and none of it was saved even though I selected “go back to title screen” which deliberately tells you it will save the progress from your last used door. I was about to face the frog boss and activated that door before you get to him and went through it. Thats 2 hours worth of gameplay gone and its not easy to accomplish all of these tasks. this the second time this has happened but this time it was too much that was lost. I rather just delete the game entirely before it really gets frustrating. “which it already is”

### 4/5 — INCREDIBLE game. horrible saving.

*2025-05-26*

i love this game!!! it’s so fun. i’ve really been enjoying playing it. it’s inventive, the graphics are wonderful, the storyline is interesting, and the world-building is great. i’ve now lost my progress twice. there needs to be a save button or something, because i’ve now lost several hours worth of progress two times and it’s really frustrating to have to re-do the big boss fights and crystal finding again. fights can also be difficult to complete at times because of the size of the buttons. my fingers are big and the phone controls are oh so tiny. if there were a way to customize the controls more, that would also be awesome. otherwise, this game is incredible! i’m just frustrated i have to redo exactly what i just did…

### 1/5 — save issues

*2025-05-19, version 1.2.5*

lost an hour of progress even tho i ostensibly saved when i quit to title and closed the app. not gonna try to go through two whole bosses again. deleting this app

### 1/5 — Checkpoints

*2025-05-17, version 1.2.5*

It’s really annoying after dying having to walk back from the door and to save the game I have to go to home screen before closing the game. Not ideal!

After dying whilst fighting a boss I should appear in front of it and start again not from the door!!!!

### 4/5 — Excellent game play but horrible save dynamics

*2025-05-16, version 1.2.5*

This game is beautiful graphic wise and the story is actually very interesting. Great concept and perfect execution of controls and ease of game play. I really enjoy the puzzles and hidden items. Creates longer game time and actually makes you have to think. Just the right difficultly. Very fun.

My only issue is when you die you spawn at the only save point which is at the very start of the map. It is so unbelievably frustrating to have to replay with no checkpoints along the way. Would be amazing if the seed pots were respawn points after dying. 

I had to take a break multiple times because I got so unbelievably mad knowing I would have to replay half the map to get to where I died. Other than that the game is so much fun and I hope they create another WITH checkpoints. 

Highly recommend. Great game.

### 1/5 — Error al guardar

*2025-05-04, version 1.2.5*

Tiene (en mi caso) un error enorme a la hora de guardar el progreso, después de haber jugado unas 6 horas perdí todo lo que habia hecho y estaba saliendo correctamente sin cerrar el juego a la fuerza.

### 1/5 — Lost Save Progress

*2025-05-01, version 1.2.5*

I returned to title screen to save the game and closed it and when I returned I had lost all save progress. I had all the weapons and was only missing the hookshot upgrade and was on my way to face the ice fortress boss. All gone

### 4/5 — good but no save

*2025-04-30, version 1.2.5*

brilliant gameplay (bit hard at first but overall good) and amazing characterisation, graphics and worldbuilding.
but it deletes all my progress whenever I exit the app. i can't find any sort of save button and it is very frustrating.
