Hello, mortals!
It's been a while, hasn't it? Magic Design Studios -- the mortals who developed Have a Nice Death -- here! We somehow managed to get our resignation letter from Death, Inc. approved (Death must've been a good mood!) and we're now setting our sights on a whole new oceanic adventure.
In case you've missed it due to being swamped with work, we're working on a new game called NAUTUS, a quirky underwater adventure with 4-player co-op releasing in Early Access on 2027. And surprise, surprise... an Open Beta for the game is OUT NOW and you're invited to join the Beta!
