Angels of Death Episode.Eddie
Released Oct. 2018
Eddie is the third son born to a family of gravediggers. Although unable to take over the family business, his love for digging graves day in and day out is stronger than anyone else.
However, Eddie has a secret: his oldest brother abuses him. Unknown to the rest of his family, this abuse grows worse every day.
Then one day, he meets a mysterious girl in the graveyard.
He is beguiled by this cute girl with mysterious eyes and goes to meet her each night. However, as his life turns more and more hellish each day, he begins to notice…
…that she, too, is covered in wounds that continue to grow in number.
Eddie was first introduced as the master of floor B4 in the anime version of Angels of Death, released on Blu-ray/DVD in October, 2018. This game, announced two and a half years following publication of the manga and novels, delves deeper into details from their scenarios to illustrate his past.

Media Mix
Soon after the game finished releasing in February of 2016, various products such as LINE stickers and button pins began to be sold, pushing the series’ media presence well beyond the scope of the printed page. Promotions such as a huge haunted house based on one of the building’s floors and another recreation of a floor at NicoNico’s Choukaigi event successfully drew even more attention.
