That’s not all! We’ve been feeling a little nostalgic lately and stumbled upon some early production phase gems we’d love to share with you. Below, you’ll find a selection of early concept sketches of the in-game map and locations as well as key art, and brainstorm assets from the very beginning of Death Howl’s journey. These pieces were created when the idea for the game was just starting to take shape. We hope you’ll enjoy it!:



Thank you once again for your continued support, feedback, and kind words. We hope you will enjoy the new demo even more than the first one and if you do, please consider leaving a review in the comments once it will be available. Every bit of feedback helps us make Death Howl even better!
