Deadhaus Sonata

Gameplay: Death systems for the Undead?

The death system in Deadhaus Sonata™ was designed to be consistent and philosophically aligned with occult literature.

One cannot simply kill a spirit without going through the proper rituals of exorcising that spirit. Examples of this philosophy can be seen in excellent shows like Supernatural, where the remains of a ghost need to be burned or destroyed to completely remove the entity from the realm of the living, or in Dungeons and Dragons, where the phylactery of a Liche needs to be destroyed before it can truly be put to rest, and echoed throughout occult literature.

A long tradition of necromancy (the magick for raising and communicating with the dead) posits that death and life are not binary states, but rather a smooth and permeable continuum along which many beings can wander.

A recent revival of interest in the magick of St. Cyprian, patron Saint of Necromancers, as well as a long-standing...

"The game, being built on Amazon’s Lumberyard, lets spectators serve as a kind of virtual dungeon master, putting obstacles in the way of players.

Hear me. We are in a time where everyone lies. Layer upon layer of deception compounds the consciousness to the point where there are so many mistruths that the average individual cannot deal with the cognitive weight of the deception and eventually succumbs to despair and tyranny. There is no hope for the truth has been lost.

Follow me and let the truth be a weapon. We will cut through the lies and show them the way.

We will kill them all.

Deadhaus Sonata™ is currently in the pre-alpha active development stage. We will be releasing the game in “Ages” prior to full release which act as the foundation for narrative in our online free-to-play world and replaces the traditional concept of alphas and betas.

The Ages system combines several different core pillars of Deadhaus Sonata™ at a macro level: regularly scheduled content releases, narrative-driven design, and community-driven design. Ages will be one of the fundamental building blocks upon which we forge innovative narrative structures for gamers.

The first closed Alpha from our previous timeline is now called the First Age, and the first closed Beta is now called the Second Age.
