Ron Gilbert announces new game 03 Feb, 2025 / 3 comments

Ron Gilbert has officially unveiled his new game today, called Death by Scrolling, a title decidedly not commentary on internet surfing habits. You may recognise it if you've seen the screenshots and gameplay videos he's been posting on Mastodon and (previously) Twitter. More details on its journey to realisation are in his blog post.

No platforms or details exist yet, although a different blog post (on text sizes) suggests it's "basically an action game" where "players shouldn’t get too deep into stat management for a character that is going to last a few minutes."

Death by Scrolling emerged after his "RPGTBD," an open world RPG made by three people which didn't have the resources to be fully realised, was put on ice last year.

More details as they come.

    Let me take a guess at the ending. Turns out YOU are the game. I think he could probably get away with that one five or six more times.

    Personally, I'm curious to try this. Also, I'm hoping he somehow gets to get his open world RPG out the door someday.
