Death Collector

Death Collector is a 300,000-word interactive fantasy novel in which your choices shape the story. It is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects. You play as a Death Collector, visiting the dying and cutting out their tongues to preserve their stories and memories. You can use what you learn for the greater good, pursue fame, fortune, love or renown, or seek a place among the elite who decide what counts as history.

Life as a Death Collector

The work involves cutting the tales of the dead from their mouths. You can learn to kill with style and professionalism or plunder information you were never meant to know. You may also discover how the Ministry disposes of its workers.

Choose your path

You can play as male, female or non-binary, and as gay or straight. Your choices can lead you to join the elite ranks of the Board, expose the rot at the system’s center and lead a revolution, or pursue other ambitions.

Your cloak

You can get to know your cloak, a strange organic entity that can render you invisible.
