Dying: Reborn

About

Dying: Reborn is a first-person puzzle game wrapped in a creepy horror-tinged package. You navigate claustrophobic rooms filled with environmental puzzles while being hunted by a grotesque fish-headed creature. The single-player or co-op mode adds tension as you work alone or with a partner to escape each trial. The game’s relentless dread and the need to restart after every failure keep the pressure high. Since its 2017 release the game’s unsettling atmosphere and tricky puzzles have earned it a cult following. Versions on Switch and Vita make it easy to get caught in its loop of death and rebirth. The ending’s twist has sparked debate online adding to replayability. Co-op players will find the challenge even more intense when teamwork falters under the creature’s gaze.
