From the creator of classic adventure games comes a roguelite about dying. A lot.
October 14th, 2025 – MicroProse and Terrible Toybox NZ are excited to announce that Death by Scrolling will officially launch on October 28, 2025 on Steam. Coming soon on Xbox, Playstation and Switch.
A fast-paced roguelite with an absurdly honest title, Death by Scrolling is all about fighting, dying, trying again, and – if you’re very, very lucky – not dying. Between enemy waves, power-ups, and questionable life choices, players will descend into a pixelated spiral of chaos backed by sharp writing, sardonic humor, and an action loop that refuses to let go.
What Awaits the Brave (and Foolish):
- Fast, funny, furious: An action roguelite that laughs at your pain – repeatedly
- A story for the few, the proud, the readers: Discover the meta-narrative hidden behind the chaos (or don’t, it’s fine).
- Retro vibes, modern pace: Tight controls, crisp pixel art, and a killer soundtrack.
- Infinite replayability: Because no matter how good you are, the game’s better.
