Our take on DGU: Death God University
Every assignment is built around one constraint: the target's death must pass as an accident. That rule shapes the collection of items, use of traps and decoys, conversations, environmental planning, and avoidance of witnesses.
What is DGU: Death God University?
Play as a student at Death God University training to become a death god assistant.
The game uses a third-person 3D perspective and adventure-puzzle structure inspired by classic point-and-click games. Each assignment requires collecting the souls of designated targets while making the deaths appear accidental. Explore the setting for useful objects, speak with characters to uncover clues and target locations, and combine items into traps or decoys. The environment can also be used as part of each plan. Assignments require avoiding witnesses and collateral damage, exploiting targets’ weaknesses, and meeting specified conditions. Teachers grade the results, making planning and the circumstances of each staged accident part of the progression.
