Description

1000 Deaths is a choose-your-own-adventure 3D platformer. Experiece the drama of life from the perspective of four eclectic characters. Dive into each character’s mind to understand their dilemmas, one platforming challenge at a time. Choose how to navigate the drama, and live out the consequences. Each choice you make leads to drastically different endings, but one thing is certain: in the end, someone dies!

History

What if there was no protagonist in a story? What if you experienced a story, equally, from multiple perspectives? And what if every choice led to an entirely different ending? And... what if all the characters are weird aliens living a psychedlic world? Enter 1000 Deaths (or 'Hazaar Mauth' in Hindi). Development began in 2019 at Pariah Interactive. In order to fund the creation of this game, the studio also takes on XR projects for clients. Over the last 5 years, demos of the game have been presented at PlayNYC by Playcrafting, MAGFest, Wonderville, Pratt Institute, and more. The studio is currently looking for a publisher, which will allow them to concentrate their studio's manpower in the game's development. 1000 Deaths will release in 2024.

Features

A truly-branching narrative—every choice you make drastically changes the story, and no two choices lead to the same ending.
Bright, psychedlic, and memorable 3D graphics inspired by 90s cartoon animations bring the world and characters to life.
Gravity-bending, cerebral platforming that put your reflexes and mind to test.
An eclectic cast of 4 characters with distinct personalities, flaws, and ambitions. Shape their stories, all the way from childhood to elderhood.
Keep coming back for more. Between exploration, platforming, and multiple endings, replaying episodes becomes a must.
