Demo Reviews:
"[In Black Heaven], [w]e were once a student at Itzon Academy, a place where students get to pick studies that are all--you guessed it--necromancy-adjacent...Without spoiling what comes after, there鈥檚 clearly a mystery afoot, and you get yourself indebted to a being as sinister as they are fascinating." -- Save Or QuitTeam Members:
