Escape from Death

Escape the clutches of Death and his corrupt realm! This 256,000-word interactive horror adventure novel, "Escape from Death" by Tova Näslund, is a text-based journey fueled by your imagination.

Your spirit finds itself trapped in a nightmarish Afterlife, a land ruled by Death's oppressive hand. The Afterlife is a starkly divided society: Penitents, souls twisted into monstrous hybrids, toil at the bottom, while the Elect live in luxury. A growing, mysterious corruption threatens this already unstable realm, with disappearances, attacks, and a spreading disease adding to the peril.

This chaos presents both danger and opportunity. The Clockwork Hall, seat of Death's power, holds the key to freedom. Navigate the treacherous landscape, battling the corruption, to reach the Hall and challenge Death's reign. Will you restore order, escape back to the living world, or claim the throne for yourself?
