Knock on the coffin lid is a familiar, but only at first glance, card roguelike, where the story of life, death and constant choice that determines your path is at the head of everything. We invite players to follow the path of loyal servants, whose Lord was killed; reveal the secret of your own death and, possibly, be saved, breaking the circle of endless deaths and resurrections. But if it doesn't work out, start all over again, once again being in the coffin.

At KOTCL, the emphasis is not on game mechanics, but on story: the project has an intricate and multi-layered storytelling. The game mechanics of the roguelike cards are neatly integrated into the narrative and help to uncover it even deeper. High-quality art is responsible for the atmosphere in the game. They complement the story and set the right tone for game events.
Plot
Knock on the coffin lid
The lands of Midian are inhabited by gnomes, orcs, elves, people and other peoples who are not able to peacefully exist in a small world. Therefore, there is discord everywhere, a struggle for power and territory.
The lord of the northern castle, Ingvar, sets out on a campaign to new lands, but together with his retinue he dies in a mysterious way.
Time passes. A certain Mortis arrives at the tomb where Ingvar and his subordinates were buried. And after the third knock on the lid of the coffin, one of Lord Ingvar's retinue is resurrected. Waking up, the hero seeks to return home and figure out what happened.

History
how Knock on the coffin lid was created
Since the launch of the project in 2019, the team has experienced a breakdown and lost employees whose skills the project, at that time, needed the most. But we did not disappear, like many who could not bring their first project to release. Now the team consists of 5 people. We work for the idea and faith in the project. The game does not have a publisher or investor, but we have perseverance, hard work and faith in team success.
