Core Pillars
The four design pillars that define the identity of Bound By Death.
Bound By Death is built from the ground up as a cooperative two-player experience. Every system, mechanic, and challenge is designed with two players in mind — not as an optional mode, but as the core of the game.
Combat revolves around the unique abilities of each character. Raw attacks alone won't be enough — mastering your kit and knowing when to use it is what separates survival from defeat.
Lýriel and Death play nothing alike. One is a fast, ranged fighter. The other is a slow, powerful melee force. Their differences are not a limitation — they are the game.
Progress requires both players working together. Puzzles are designed so that neither character can solve them alone, demanding communication, coordination, and trust.
Two souls. One chain. Every system designed around both.
