Loved the art style of the game, but I think the best part of your game is definitely the music; that soundtrack truly matches the aesthetic of the game and sounds like some high-quality stuff.

Developer

The game is nicely done and has a good vibe even if its about killing. Unfortunately, I am bad at remembering people/faces, so I may have killed some innocent people.

Developer

ahahaha thank you!!

Totally cozy but also totally morbid, I LOVE IT. The premise reminds me a lot of Terry Pratchett's "Mort", which follows Death's semi-reluctant and absolutely inept apprentice. Soundtracking was great and the scrolling to find people got more and more hilarious to me (maybe because I was the one with the scythe :D). Well done!

Thank you so much for your comment, we are glad you liked our game! And what a coincidence, in these days I'm reading The Colour of Magic! I read it and a few others a long time ago but I never completed the full disc world saga, which is my goal at the moment so I'm starting again from the beginning, I'm really looking forward to the ones about Death, which is a character I love (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

Mildly morbid, and it is enjoyable to go on a killing spree. A satisfying game that trains the mind.

Oh no. I'm terrible with memory, dear Death, you cannot go on holidays when I'm handling your job.
Nice enough. I feel like you should have made the sound for success and failure more clear, but the ghost does help there.
I think the how to play the game hints should also bew an option in the esc menu, but i found the reap list key by mashing they keyboard again.

Thank you for playing the game! Yep it's a valid suggestion, we totally could add the tutorial also in the pause menu! As for the audio, if music and sfx volume are at the same level it can be quite unclear, but it can be solved by adjusting the settings (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

Pretty fun game! Took me a sec to realize you could pan the camera, but once I did, I really liked it.
