Someone Has Died - a silly game about serious business

Created by Gather Round Games

Someone Has Died is an improvisational storytelling game that takes one of the coldest and most arduous legal procedures a person can endure and turns it into a gut-busting, baby role-playing game that players of all skill levels can enjoy.

Halloween Spooptacular! | Someone Has Died Game
over 5 years ago – Wed, Oct 03, 2018 at 12:47:40 PM

Hello all!

In our last update, you might have noticed we hinted at a special autumnal surprise. Well here it is! To celebrate the official release of Someone Has Died into the world, we have a special Halloween Spooptacular planned for the month of October! 

Every Wednesday this month, we’re going to release an audio recording of a playthrough of the game that we got to do with a whole host of hilarious special guests while we were working at Kickstarter HQ this summer. 

This first episode features some fellow Creators-in-Residence who we shared the offices with for the summer: Maëlle Doliveux, Mike Rugnetta, & Fran Wilde.

Click here to listen to Episode 1!
