Trainee Death Simulator is a single-player role-playing game developed by Bone Nail that gives players an unconventional, darkly humorous take on life and death. Set in a world where you play as a trainee in the service of Death itself, the game tasks you with harvesting souls to pay off your unending debt. 

Trainee Death Simulator is not just all grim as you can also make decisions that will influence your fate and the path you take through this quirky afterlife. Similar games that deal with life and death are Reigns, Death and Taxes, and Grim Fandango Remastered. 

Embrace your inner death in this game 

In Trainee Death Simulator, your life, or rather your repeated deaths revolve around making choices that impact your stats: Faith, Energy, Strength, and Evil. Every choice has consequences, from lying in bed and slacking off, to following your senior to earn extra Souls. Here, you’ll encounter random events that might have you getting lost in the Forest, falling into the void in the Death Tower, or even transforming into a monster in the Dreamworld.  

The game allows you to restart at any time so you can experiment with different choices and see how they affect your journey. The randomness of the events ensures that no two playthroughs are ever the same. The humor is often dark and self-aware, poking fun at the absurdity of death and the never-ending quest to clear a debt that seems impossible to settle. 

Along the way, you’ll earn Souls, which can be used to unlock new outfits to customize your Trainee Death’s appearance. Whether it’s a stylish cape or a more modest attire, it’s a fun and quirky feature that adds to the game’s lighthearted nature. However, while there are different stats to manage, the game lacks a deep character progression system for its players.

A deep, yet quirky world to explore 

Trainee Death Simulator is a unique and amusing take on the life of a trainee in the afterlife. In this game, your mission is to harvest souls to pay off your unending debt. With its randomness, quirky humor, and exploration of a world where Death is both a literal and metaphorical concept, the game offers a refreshing experience for players who enjoy lighthearted, offbeat narratives.
