About Death to the Universe: ACT I

'Death to the Universe: ACT I' is a story-driven, 3rd person action platformer which takes place at the end of time. Play as Death, voiced by Kevin Miller (Sly Cooper), in a surreal, shattered world where the concept of death has begun to lose meaning. Despite The Universe falling apart, he clings on to the duty of his job.The Universe itself, voiced by Cassianne Lawrence, is a playful and antagonistic character who mocks and challenges Death at every turn. Represented through the map itself and sometimes as a pair of floating rock hands, The Universe tries to maintain control of an assured, continued existence.
Follow Deaths existential journey towards the final souls, as he reveals underlying truths about the underlying fabric of The Universe and learns that his job might be more complex than he anticipated.

The game is a mix of dark humor, cosmic absurdity, and existential reflection, blending entertaining gameplay with narrative depth.This game is the product of a six week collaboration project hosted by DADIU.

Loved the concept, love Kevin Miller, and solid platforming. The swinging is very satisfying, but the combat left a lot to be desired. I will definitely play ACT II.

Honestly this was pretty fun, I really like how they don't explain every story thing to you like 343 does in Halo but I also wish there was more of this game. Def reminds me of Sly Cooper with the combat and traversal mechanics but fun on its own too. My only actual complaints are probably the running animations and the difficulty understanding the hitboxes of enemies, but it's a new indie game so I understand and even with that, this game was a good amount of fun

Holy crap! I never knew this game existed! Though it was short I really hope they release an act 2! Kevin miller plays his roll well and the premise is awesome! I don't really write reviews but I give this a 10/10!

I'm really intrigue what Fueled By Cookies is cooking up. It sorta reminds me of PS2 era of 3D platformers. The story and characters are very tongue-in-cheek which I enjoy. We have Death as the protagonist of this game and he's no average run to the mill badass type of character. He's just a dude who has a job and very committed to it. It has interesting puzzle mechanics where you use telekinesis to turn floating platforms and what not. So far, I haven't seen a whole lot of variety in the environment, enemy and combat department but i have faith in this dev. team. Give us a lot of cool characters, weapons, environments, powers, fun puzzles and fun platforming. Maybe something unique which the whole dying aspect of the game since our character is Death and dying is pretty much his business. Like, have Death kill people to separate their spirit from their body to solve certain puzzles or to become an ally. Overall, I had a solid time with Act I. Death to the Universe is shaping to be a banger of a game. Can't wait for more.

Takes probably 20 minutes to beat, its an interesting idea.
