Diablo IV is the hotly-anticipated gaming release that had been eleven years in the making. To celebrate it’s arrival, Blizzard offered player’s their very own minion for the weekend to take care of their Earthly duties while they played.

Director, Hal Kirkland leant into horror movie tropes to build comedic suspense while playfully juxtaposing the infamous, Doomsayer in a slew of mundane activities as he confronts the real horror… nagging chores that spell less game time.
