Evaluation

Trainee Death Simulator launched on November 12, 2024. In the weeks following launch, the developer shipped a series of patches adding features and fixes: a launch-day patch (November 13, 2024) improving UI and balance, a save/load system update (November 15, 2024), and a Points Shop unlock with Trading Cards and profile items (November 23, 2024). The most recent update, on January 23, 2025, added a New Year-themed Death Dress-up cosmetic bundle and related events. Since January 23, 2025, there have been no further developer communications of any kind. The developer made a general commitment to continued development in November 2024, but that statement was not followed by any announced roadmap, named upcoming content, or unreleased DLC listing on the store. The store description contains no references to planned future content, season passes, or live service features. With only one substantive post-launch content drop (the January 2025 update) and no developer activity since then — now more than 17 months ago as of June 2026 — the evidence points to the game having shipped as a complete, self-contained product with some post-launch polish. No ongoing development pattern was established, and no future content has been announced or listed.

About this game

Game play: Choices Above

You will encounter various random events that impact four attributes: Faith, Energy, Strength, and Evil. Every choice you make can alter the course of events, whether it’s getting lost in the Forest, falling into the void in the Death Tower, or turning into a monster in the Dreamworld—since you can always start over, feel free to make the choices you want.

Unique Worldview

Hundreds of years ago, the "Lord of Night" vanished without a trace from the Death Tower. With their top-tier combat power lost, the Deaths were unable to maintain the balance between Dreams and Reality. While other Deaths were struggling desperately, a Great Death followed the prophecy and brought in a large number of Trainee Deaths as 'expendables,' turning the tide of the situation for the better...

Integrate Historical Events

What I want to tell you is that Deaths truly exist, and every death is nudged along by one of them. Just look at history, at how those Deaths orchestrated deaths or joined in the harvest—wait a second, did you take part in it too?

Collect and Customize

Complete objectives in random events to earn new outfits and customize them freely. Even Death needs to dress well——I know you might not want to join me, but if I were...

Divine Artifacts

There are "Gods" in the celestial realm of this world, and by gazing at the stars, they will bestow Oracles upon those who are called.
Oracles have various effects, they might help you rise from the dead or make your situation worse - after all, there's no rule that says Gods must be benevolent.
