Death of a Wish News

"In your absence, time and space collapse…

...To a single point, burning with possibility...

...But the flame is beginning to fade, and the new world struggles to be Born."

"What's the matter, boy? Isn't this what you wanted?

People like you and I, it is our power and ours alone...

...to shape the Dream, into a new Paradise."

Death of a Wish releases on March 11th, you can wishlist it now.

Paradiso is a dreamworld where the lost find themselves trapped together.

These people are known as The Marked, and are cursed to have their personal demons and traumas come to life as bloodthirsty monsters called Nightmares. The Marked carry the power to use Arias, combat magic rooted in the very essence of their being.

[h2]Michael[/h2]
Michael is Serah’s older brother, who was separated from her long ago. Silent and reserved, he carries scars on his body and within his heart from his history with The Sanctum. He also carries Pyra, the Aria of Flame.


[h2]Madeleine[/h2]
Madeleine is an older Marked who has wandered Paradiso for a long time. She carries the pain and wrath of her past compatriots, who succumbed to the Curse of the Mark and became Nightmares. She knows how to fight back against the encroaching Corruption, and can teach Christian how to resist it with Grace. She carries Aether, the Final Mantra.


[h2]Naomi[/h2]
While not visibly Marked, Naomi senses a kinship with Christian that compels her to aid his cause. She appears incapable of wielding an Aria, but her indomitable sense of justice gives her the strength to confront a mysterious past and uncertain future.


[h2]Lucah[/h2]
Lucah escaped from the Dream when they came to accept their nonbinary identity and their love of Christian. While now absent from the Dream, faint echoes of their presence continue to haunt Paradiso, and Christian’s heart.


Christian’s quest to challenge the Faiths will intersect with the lives and stories of the Marked.

Death of a Wish descends on March 11th, 2024. You can wishlist it now on Steam.

Today is both Valentine’s Day AND Ash Wednesday, a perfectly thematic combination for us to share something cool from Death of a Wish.

We’re happy to present a preview of one of our boss tracks, “Animalesque”, a favorite of composer Nicolo Telesca’s new music for the game:

We think this track perfectly encapsulates the vibe of Death of a Wish’s combat - frenetic, anxious, but with a guitar lead that cuts right through it all. You can hear it for yourself during “The Nest” miniboss encounter in the demo, which is available on Steam!

Death of a Wish descends on March 11. Wishlist the game now and follow for more updates as we approach release!

[h3]Lilli[/h3]
Lilli is a Marked. Jaded and sarcastic, but still kind, she is much more knowledgeable about the history of Paradiso than anyone else. She aids Christian in his journey, much like she did to other Marked in the past. She carries the power of Aqua, the Aria of Water.



[h3]Serah[/h3]
Serah was separated from her brother Michael, and seeks to reunite with him and escape the Dream together. She was once a fighter in Cardinal’s Colosseo, but united with a number of her fellows to escape and form an insurgency. Filled with passionate fury, she carries Pyra, the Aria of Flame.



[h3]Ash[/h3]
A loyal Marked rebel and one of Serah’s closest allies. Ash never truly developed control of her Aria, but mastered Sanctum firearms after joining Serah’s insurgents. Skilled with rifles and grenades, she imparts guidance upon all Marked ready to put their lives on the line in the struggle.
