A Short Death

A Short Death is a 3D platformer in which you control a cat in the realm after death. You meet strange and ominous characters as you climb a mysterious tower, using jumps, glides, runs and hops to make your way upward.

Climb the tower

You can use a double jump, backflip and dash jump to traverse the tower. As you climb, you gain the ability to transform into other animals, each with its own movement style for travelling faster and farther. Collectible tokens let you buy hats, skip difficult sections and more.

Characters and features

The game includes expressive voice acting for over 2,000 words of dialogue and optional checkpoints to soften the cost of falling. Its atmosphere avoids jump scares. You can wear hats including a witch hat, as well as a blue backpack.
