About this game

Puzzle adventure game set in the afterlife. The Godkiller - Chapter 1 is designed by Erik Hermansen, creator of Deadly Rooms of Death, and shares that series' top-down turn-based gameplay. Puzzles are variations on Sokoban-like block-pushing gameplay featuring several unusual mechanics (e.g. dying to respawn the player character in a more favourable position). The storyline follows a newly-dead soul contending with God's plans, and features several original songs with vocal performances.

The newly-dead Emm finds herself in Paradise being told stories by God. God instructs Emm not to take the Apple of Infinite Travel. Emm quickly gives in to boredom and temptation, takes the Apple, and is cast out of Paradise. Emm must now climb upwards to All-Blocks Plateau, where other souls push blocks all day in peace. On her way, she learns about the afterlife and the lost souls who inhabit it, while God pits her against the bitter and scared bureaucrat Billy.
