What's the story behind this remake?

Seemingly popped up out of nowhere with no mention or promotion by Zeboyd Games and from a first time dev team. How did this come about?

Hi! I'm one of the two original founders of Zeboyd Games. I loved working at Zeboyd for the 10+ years I was there. We made and released so many cool RPGs and I'll always cherish those times! I've wanted to learn and push myself and do more. I started this remake as sort of a side passion project that I worked on periodically here and there over several years. I eventually created this little studio (Shadow Layer Games) and was able to keep the rights for Breath of Death and thus was able to finish and release it! Zeboyd is still going strong though under the other original founder and he looks to still be doing great things!

Hope you give this remake a try sometime, it's been a joy for me to revisit my first original commercial game :)

Thanks for the response! Been playing Zeboyd Games since back when the original Breath of Death released, so was just curious about the circumstances behind this release. I'll certainly give this a try at some point!

Really cool to hear that! I've been a fan since the original as well so hearing about this was a nice surprise. Definitely going to keep an eye on both Zeboyd and Shadow Layer for sure.

loved the original breath of death as well, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this remake and instantly bought it :)
