The premise, in the publisher's words
Death's Door follows a crow reaper whose duty is to harvest souls in a mysterious, gothic world. When he discovers a soul that appears out of place, he is compelled to investigate the anomaly. His journey takes him through surreal landscapes and against formidable foes, ultimately leading him to confront the underlying disturbance in the cycle of life and death.

How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 11.9 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 16 hrs, roughly 1.3 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $1.99, that works out to about $0.17 per hour of the main story, or $0.12 per hour if you finish everything.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-8250U (4 * 1800) or equivalent; AMD Phenom II X4 965 (4 * 3400) or equivalent, 8 GB RAM and GeForce MX 150 ( 2048 MB); Radeon R7 260X (2048 MB). An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 5GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
