In The Cold Ruins of Lastlife, you'll play an undead remnant of a once-great world. Find your lost memories as you sift through the ashes, or pave a new path, cutting a swath of burning light into a hopeful future, and leave the past-and your memories-behind forever. The Cold Ruins of Lastlife lets you play undead adventurers trying to find something to fight for-the past or the future-in this cold and dreadful world. Hunt for a new flame. Or try to recall why your flame burned bright in the first place. The Cold Ruins of Lastlife is heavily inspired by Dark Souls, along with works such as Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast series and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities.
