About

Death of a Wish is a vicious action-RPG set in a nightmare filled with horrifying monsters and terrifying people.

Play as Christian, a Marked child raised by a cult and struggling to escape indoctrination, as he bands with others to challenge their oppressors. By taking down the four Sanctum Faiths: Father, Sister, Cardinal, and Priest, they will upend the order of the world.

Rend your foes asunder with magical combos called Arias in a demanding combat system that emphasizes tactical aggression. Enhance your abilities with powerful perks that significantly alter your approach to battle and the rhythm of combat. With a limitless array of ways to fight stylishly, build your character your way to destroy your foes.

Christian’s Corruption will constantly rise throughout his journey, pulling him towards a tragic end. He can hold back the Corruption by achieving high ranks in combat and performing long, graceful combos. Only by mastering battle and fighting with true elegance will he stand a chance against the Nightmares.

Explore a bleak dreamworld filled with surreal new characters, encounters, and stories. The theocratic city of Neo-Sanctum sets the stage for a struggle to determine the shape of society, and the fates of Christian and his companions. Delve into the secret underworld of the esoteric and abandoned to meet new allies who will aid you on your journey.

Christian’s world is rendered with a visual style like no other. Battles come to life in an animated spectacle of blood, light, and motion. Nicolo Telesca’s chilling score mixes electronic sounds with live instrumentation to unite the game with tense anxiety and crackling catharsis.
