Jul 30, 2025A unique "What if?" story based on Aztec mythology turns into a truly different experience when combined with a horror theme - that is, as long as the game doesn’t crash.

Jul 23, 2025Death Relives has a lot of interesting ideas, especially for a local production. The development team has taken on an intriguing story rooted in a different culture, crafted an effective atmosphere, and delivered a polished product with clever touches reminiscent of a mobile app. However, frequent crashes, poor animation quality, low-resolution textures on some models, and, most importantly, the game's reliance on a “run and hide” mechanic throughout its entirety undermine these significant strengths.

Aug 4, 2025Death Relives quickly lost the interest of this horror fan. Though it’s built upon a strong concept, the concept alone is not strong enough to carry other aspects of the game that fail to fit into its genre or generally excite. While I wouldn’t call Death Relives a winner, I eagerly look towards what comes next from this studio and to see if they learn from the mistakes of their first title.

Aug 1, 2025Death Relives is the kind of game that makes you question your life choices because of the slow drain of wasted time. Its ambition is buried under poor execution, lifeless AI integration, and half-formed mechanics. Even its better ideas, like the puzzles, are let down by clunky design. There’s simply nothing here worth your time, money, or patience.
