Breath of Death VII: The Beginning is a short, self-aware homage to the golden era of RPGs - a retro parody that pairs old-school aesthetics with a few modern design touches. You control an unlikely party of undead adventurers - Dem the Skeleton Knight, Sara the ghost historian, Lita the vampire techie, and Erik the zombie prince - as they explore an undead world and dig up the secrets of the past. The writing leans into parody and absurdity, oscillating between heartfelt moments and deliberately cheesy gags: laugh, cry, laugh some more.
