We Are So Dead

We Are So Dead is an online co-op seance game for 2–6 players. One player starts each session as a ghost, able to see the demon, dangers, relics and way out, but unable to speak to or touch the living. The living must interpret the ghost’s messages, gather what the ritual needs and banish the demon before sunrise.

Communicate with the dead

The ghost can move a Ouija board’s planchette to point, answer yes or no, or spell out words. The living question the ghost and try to read its messages under pressure; the board is the only stable way to send full words. Ghosts can also flicker lights, open and close doors, pass through living players so they feel it, and scream as a last resort. Ghosts can hear the living and other ghosts, but non-ghosts cannot hear them.

Find the relics

Only the ghost can see where the relics are and what dangers threaten the living. The ghosts search the house for the items needed by the ritual, then guide the living as they carry each relic back to the seance board and avoid threats they cannot see. The demon’s rules, timing and location change with each session, and only the dead learn them.

Banish the demon

Once all the relics are collected, the ghost can read the demon’s true name. The living must spell it back on the board to banish the demon and escape before sunrise. Players taken by the demon join the dead, adding another voice to the seance and helping find relics and warn the living.

Descend through the house

The house has nine floors beneath it. Banish each floor’s demon to unlock the next, with every level farther from sunrise and containing something the one above did not. You can try to reach the bottom and beat floor 9.
