Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One day, Death has a problem. He's overworked, there are more souls than ever before in need of reaping, and his scythe elbow is getting worse every day. The solution? Unleash the Sorrows, powerful death-spirits who will happily do all of the busywork for the Grim Reaper! Death's plan works like a charm; hundreds of souls are rolling in every hour, and the only thing Death needs to do is stamp the paperwork.One soul at a time.And there are a lot of souls.His plans for a vacation rapidly disappearing under a tidal wave of postmortem paperwork, Death has no time to keep the Sorrows in check; without any oversight, they rapidly multiply and take over Death, Inc, completely ignoring company protocols in favor of bragging about how many souls they reap. Now, it's up to the Reaper to grab his scythe and take his company back, one swing at a time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Have A Nice Death is a side-scrolling 2D Platforming Roguelite by French creators Magic Design Studios, the creators of Unruly Heroes; in the vein of Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, Death must hack and slash through a hauntingly whimsical world, using his trusty scythe and an arsenal of dark magic. The game entered Early Access on March 8th, 2022; it can be found on Steam.Not to be confused with the trope of the same name.

Jacob Marley Apparel: Death Inc is made up primarily of undead mortals, and most of them have injuries reflecting how they died. Patrick has a knife through his head, probably launched from the lunch he tried to heat up in the nuclear reactor he worked at. Harriet has no skin, having died during a hang-gliding javelin-throwing accident. Mark has literally been decapitated, and lost a good bit of his body besides. Presumably he died in some kind of terrible car accident related to the food truck he drove when he was alive..

Badass Adorable: You wouldn't think the trope would apply to the Grim Reaper himself, but years of office work have shrunk him down to chibi proportions. They did not take away his skills with his scythe, and he's perfectly capable of showing his subordinates why he's the boss.

Gone Horribly Right: Death unleashes the Sorrows because he's tired of reaping every single soul personally. They proceed to do their job so well that they make him almost completely obsolete; the only responsibility Death still has is personally rubber-stamping paperwork, and eventually he's tired of that, too, when the Sorrows start burying him with it.

comment
Brad is especially noticeable, as he will always bust out of his dudebro persona when defeated as a professional-looking Badass in a Nice Suit and fly off. He's the first major boss, and always reverts to his casual wear when you return. Death suspects it's because he'd rather not admit defeat on these repeat visits. However if you beat him enough times, he starts taking his job far more seriously, reinforcing the boss arena with metal detectors, and gaining far more lethal attacks, all while keeping his Nice suit on…UNTILL you beat him and he switches back to his dudebro outfit.

Nominal Hero: Death is the protagonist and opposes the Sorrows, but only because they're burying him in paperwork and trying to take over his company. The way he treats his employees makes you wonder if the Sorrows have a valid reason for rebelling against him, and what we see of his reaping techniques imply he wasn't much nicer to the souls he collected.

Hector Krank, Sorrow of Physical Illness, is a Mad Scientist crab - an odd choice, until you remember what the crab represents in horoscopes...and see his Red Right Hand and eye covered/swollen with tumor-like corruption. Lesser known is a bacteria called CRAB, also known as Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, found in mud and water. This can cause infections in blood, urinary tract, lungs, wounds, and other body parts.

Noodle Incident: How Harriet, Joe and Mark died. Harriet's death concerned a "dramatic hang-gliding javelin-throwing contest," and left her skinless; Joe appears to have a hole in the back of his head that is completely unexplained; Mark made a living driving a food truck for a children's show, but met an end that left him decapitated and missing all but a small chunk of his torso.

 Have A Nice Death (Video Game) (Video Game) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In general, when a large corporation with multiple divisions and quotas, there is typically going to be in-house competition and rivalries that will develop and try to go above and beyond the quotas. Thus, when Death divvies up the Sorrows to handle different kinds of ways to die, they start going above the call of duty and start taking way too many souls, which makes other divisions do the same so they don't look bad.

Sleep-Mode Size: Partially at least. Death used to be the tall, dark, and Faceless figure we've all come to expect. Unfortunately, an untold amount of time atrophying behind his desk with nothing to do but stamp paperwork made him smaller and smaller physically. From a gameplay perspective, this is more accommodating to the evasive combat and movement style the game's core loop is built around.

Standard Status Effects
 Have A Nice Death (Video Game) (Video Game) / int_4e16382e
comment
Standard Status Effects: Certain weapons and curses can let you inflict these. Poison does Damage Over Time to enemies inflicted with it, with the amount corresponding to the number of poison counters on it. Burn does less damage than poison, but it can spread to nearby enemies. Bleed does extra damage to any enemy that has a bleed counter on it when it's hit, with the base amount equal to the number of counters. Slow... slows. Arcane is applied in stacks, but they do nothing for the first four, but applying the fifth stack does quite a bit of damage and removes all arcane stacks applied on that enemy. Stuck freezes an enemy in time, temporarily preventing them from doing anything.

Lazy Bum: Brad, to Death's eternal chagrin. He's supposed to control the flow of souls entering the Hall of Eternity so that no one is overwhelmed by them, but he's more interested in posting selfies and playing paddle ball than actually doing his job. After defeating him a few times, he starts taking his job much more seriously as “Barnaby Proudfoot”…unless you defeat him in which case he switches back to slacking off.

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist
 Have A Nice Death (Video Game) (Video Game) / int_50727f8d
comment
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Naturally, all employees of Death Inc. are revived should they be struck fatally. It's partially why the enemies and Sorrows continue to be bosses on subsequent runs. Even if they are blown up, melted, or consumed by their own pestilence, they'll be back in time for Death's next visit. This is also why the game is a Roguelite - killing Death isn't exactly going to do you a whole lot of good to begin with, let alone when he's your boss.

Meaningful Name: Multiple, with the on-the-noseness and subtlety varying greatly. Will Hung is Brad's Thanager; at first glance, he seems to be an office worker hanging from a noose, but Hung is actually the rope. Once you beat him up, he collapses, and the corpse gets up and walks away. Hector Krank, a crab with a particularly curmudgeonly and abrasive personality. The Thanager of the Department of Physical Illness, D. "King" Dengue, is a giant mosquito, and is named for Dengue Fever, a mosquito-borne illness.

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Death is shown to be quite a dick when it comes to doing his job in the intro, treating it as a grind he has to fill out, rather than taking peoples lives. In some cases, he seems to just go after healthy living people just to do that and is annoyed over making the choice to do it. It makes his struggle with getting a vacation, and thus - the Roguelite element, work. Cause he’s just as big a Mean Boss as the enemies, and the whole situation becoming worse is his own fault in the end.

Ultimate Job Security: It doesn't seem to matter how much he disapproves of their leadership or how much they insult him; Death never thinks to just fire any of the Sorrows, despite presumably being able to do so.

This Is Gonna Suck: Most of the sorrows Death beats down have absolutely priceless looks on their faces while they’re begging for mercy. Special mention goes to both Major Warren Pliskhan right before his weapons misfire and nuke him to kingdom come, and Death as he realizes the elevator to his vacation is about to explode…With him right in front of it.

Mean Boss: Downplayed. While What we see of Death's interactions with his employees is not particularly flattering to his managerial style. He does get a few Pet the Dog moments, showing genuine concern for his employees, and telling off the sorrows for not meeting “Morality Quotas” The Sorrows are no better than he is. In fact, they're probably worse, and unlike Death, they don't get any softening moments.

Status Quo Is God
 Have A Nice Death (Video Game) (Video Game) / int_a6e8221e
comment
Status Quo Is God: Just beating the Sorrows once doesn't seem to make the lesson stick, in order for the Rogue Like aspect to work, and because in-universe Death's business has a Death Is a Slap on the Wrist system going on. Brad is especially noticeable, as he will always bust out of his dudebro persona when defeated as a professional-looking Badass in a Nice Suit and fly off. He's the first major boss, and always reverts to his casual wear when you return. Death suspects it's because he'd rather not admit defeat on these repeat visits. However if you beat him enough times, he starts taking his job far more seriously, reinforcing the boss arena with metal detectors, and gaining far more lethal attacks, all while keeping his Nice suit on…UNTILL you beat him and he switches back to his dudebro outfit.

Candice the Cupcake, a mid-boss in the Toxic Food Processing Department, weaponizes this; she darts around on a perpetual sugar high, moving at super speed with a constantly fish-eyed, happy expression on her face.

In general, whenever Death confronts one of the Sorrows, he makes it a point to tell them that mortality quotas have not been met. He also seems to take issue with how the Sorrows are Mean Bosses, causing more death when they were made only to split his workload; even Death is appalled at the lengths they're willing to go to achieve this.

Prismium is a rare currency only found in certain floors, and is used in buying more shop slots or transforming your scythe, as well as to buy anything regardless of Soulary cost.

comment
Allegorical Character: Each Sorrow embodies a particular aspect of their department. Gordon Grimes, Sorrow of Industrial Pollution, is a giant mass of tar/oil with a sleazy personality. Hector Krank, Sorrow of Physical Illness, is a Mad Scientist crab - an odd choice, until you remember what the crab represents in horoscopes...and see his Red Right Hand and eye covered/swollen with tumor-like corruption. Lesser known is a bacteria called CRAB, also known as Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, found in mud and water. This can cause infections in blood, urinary tract, lungs, wounds, and other body parts. Maxxx, Sorrow of Addictions, is a crazed, masked humanoid, powered by his substance abuse. Major Warren Pliskhan, Sorrow of Modern Warfare, is a crazed army general obsessed with weaponry and mass destruction. Waldo, Sorrow of Toxic Food-Processing, is the mascot of a fast food company who cares more about the unchecked growth of the franchise over the well being of its customers, preferring that they buy and buy and buy until they drop dead.
