It is quite possible that you just shook your head. How come a game with the word "death" in the title and telling about death could make our hearts feel a little warmer? It turns out, however, that appearances are deceptive and not every story about dying has to be depressing and pessimistic.
I would call Death's Door a fairy tale, one that's very economic with words – the story is told through images, simple sounds of the surroundings and delicious, oneiric music playing slowly in the background. The player takes the role of a raven working in an unusual corporation dealing with finding lost souls. This time, however, the mission of our bird protagonist slips out of its claws. So we set off on a journey full of magical wonders and real dangers into the depths of various lands.
Once you get into the incredibly relaxing atmosphere of this game, and start absorbing its thought-provoking (but also relaxing) story about coming to terms with death, you will see that it can charm not only with the sweet forest creatures found in it. Also, don't worry about the difficulty – it may not be the lowest, but compared to the last Acid Nerve creation – Titan Souls – it's not an insurmountable challenge.
