A very fun puzzle game with killer atmosphere and an interesting concept. I especially liked the characterization of the different reapers and how it reflected on their stats, and the little flavor text they sometimes say (in fact, I wish there was more of it)! There is not much of a tutorial at the start and the player kinda has to intuit what everything means by visual clues, like the scales tipping to the red side meaning failure, or how the music gets more slowed and the eyes in the background more apparent with each failure, but once you get the hang of it it's a pretty fun gameplay loop. On that note, the audiovisual aspects worked really well to enhance the experience. It was always nerve-wrecking to realize the music had slowed, or the sense of urgency whenever one of the crosses started flashing red and all of the reapers were still on cooldown. The eyes were starting to freak me out by the end of the first in-game day. The writing is beautiful and haunting as well. Some of the deaths were bizarre (I caught a few references to real and fictional incidents here and there), but most of them instilled me with a sense of fear of my own death. Not fear of the reapers though, no need to fear them, they just want to help ;) Again, really cool to see how diverse each of them were, in accordance with their own varied mythologies. This game really got me thinking about how short life is, and how quickly it all ends. Needless to say, I enjoyed my experience!

My wife took the children and left me. I've been fired from my job. My mother calls me every day, yet I always decline. All of my friends think I'm crazy, that I threw my successful and happy life away for an addiction, but they don't get this game like I do. It's been a while since I've seen the light of day, and I've lost count of how many runs I've completed. I think I sold my soul, but I couldn't care less. I only care about how many Vipers I can fit into a deck.
This game ruined my life 10/10 amazing work.
