Death Requires a Horse
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
You're quite the wicked old witch in the woods... After many years of using your rituals to prolong your life, you are suddenly surprised by Death, on your doorstep! Luckily, he hasn't come for you, yet! The Lord of Pyres is in a bind, and must lean on you to get where he needs to go - in short, Death requires a horse, and you have five... If you mind your p's and q's, you might come out of this with more than just your life. What will he give you for a horse?
You'll have:
- 5 horses to offer Death.
- 4 possible endings!

Pretty amusing game. I really like the writing for this. It feels like one of those old short stories but with a spicy old lady for a twist! cx
Yey, I'm so glad you liked it! It's been a while since I wrote something in the style of a choose-your-own, and I really wanted to tell a story from beginning to end. :) Thank you for playing, this made my day!
