Death's Door
Reaping souls and managing afterlife affairs can't be easy, but as a Crow, it's all part of your regular nine-to-five. It's all the same day in and day out, but when a soul you're supposed to be in charge of gets stolen, you'll have to hack and slash your way through the depths of the unknown to get it back.
Death's Door is a unique fantasy RPG that lets you discover what lies beyond your daily grind, in a mystical world where death seems to be glitching. Netflix now brings this award-winning tale to mobile gamers as part of its subscription service.
