Post of Death can be a difficiult game for new players, so this journal serves the purpose of letting the player know what is to be done in this game.

On starting a new game the player spawns in an area next to two cottages. He is is given a shovel, with which he must find the proper spot to dig in the map. If the player has dug in the correct place, he may lie down in the ditch to sleep and thus he enters the death realm. Here he has 60 seconds to find his body before game over. Once you find your body in the death realm you are returned to the over world, where you must repeat this process until reaching the end of the game.
