About This Game

Praise Dead is a roguelike auto-battler about a necromancer keeping a dying village alive. Raise zombies from whatever the graveyard gives you, work them to the bone by day, and throw them at the demons outside the gate by night.

Build every zombie from parts

Drag organs onto the body and raise it. Every brain, heart, lung, liver and gut adds its own stats, and those stats decide everything: how hard a zombie hits, how fast it swings, and how much it farms, mines or recruits. Kill a demon and take its parts for your next zombie.

Work the village by day

Put your zombies on the barricade, the farm, the mine, the shrine and the road. The strong ones mine more iron, the lucky ones bring back more villagers. Food, iron, energy and villagers keep the village standing for one more night.

Hold the gate by night

When night falls, the demons come. Battles play out on their own, so the fight is won in the lab and the village, but your spells can still turn it. Last a week and a boss comes with them.

Relics, necromancers and bosses

• 50+ relics that change how your zombies work, fight and rise
• 4 necromancers, each with their own starting relics
• 4 shops: the Church sells parts, the Witch sells relics, the Blacksmith trades weapons and armor, and the Demonologist deals in demon parts
• 3 bosses waiting at the end of each week
• Ritual levels that raise the stakes once you win, and an Endless Mode with ever harder waves and 50 events of its own
