Umbu Games has just revealed Death's Life 2, the long awaited sequel to the dark puzzle game Death's Life.
The debut comes ten years after the release of the original, and arrives as a significant evolution – a direct result of a decade of learning in indie game development.
In Death's Life 2, you once again take on the role of Death itself. Your goal is to collect souls by creating cascading accidents, manipulating the environment in truly macabre Rube Goldberg machines. Each level functions as a lethal sandbox, where the solution is rarely unique.

What to expect from Death’s Life 2?
Radical freedom to solve (or complicate) each level
The game rewards both efficiency and creativity. Each stage offers multiple outcomes: some straightforward, others hidden and extremely challenging. You can find the simplest solution in 30 seconds… or spend an hour trying that absurd idea that maybe only you can imagine.
Two games in one: Classic Mode vs. Escape Room Mode
One of the biggest new features is the division into two distinct modes:
Classic Mode (Death): The essence of the original, play as Death in an isometric top-down view, plan chain reactions and collect the souls of your victims.
First-Person Escape Room Mode (Survivor): For the first time in the franchise, you try to escape your own death, playing as a survivor. Trapped in lethal rooms designed by Death itself, you must solve first-person puzzles to survive, a role reversal that doubles the depth of the game.
A game that doesn't take itself 100% seriously (but respects your intelligence)
We're betting on a tone that blends dark humor, genuine challenge, and replayability. The game was designed to generate that "wow, I didn't even know you could do that" reaction – perfect for viral clips and streams.
Currently in development, Death’s Life 2 will be released in July 2026 for PC, with a free demo coming soon.
