I need more!! :D
Liked the stroy and concept, just wish there was more of it, more souls to engage with.
Would be interesting if you were able to go off script (as discussed in the end) and possibly delve more into someones back story.

Hope you continue this, would be interested to see it develop.

Developer

Moooore!
Ouuuh, indeed! That was the original plan but I didn't enough tiiime :c
TBD what the future holds but thanks for the encouragement!
(Perhaps I need to get some Zomployees 🤔👀)

Very nice game.

You incorporated the theme very well and the artstyle is perfect for this.

Thank you!

This was amazing. The art style is simple but I couldn't help but find it endearing. I. could. not. stop. clicking. spacebar. The beginning of the game amazed me. The sound and the music worked well together. Very well done. I enjoyed this a lot. The only thing is that the sythe animation felt too long after doing it a few times. I think it could be shorter for subsequent people but the first one, I was genuinely amazed :)

Also, I didn't realize until looking at the pics. But the game was definitely bugged a little on my screen. The boxes were out of wack. I couldn't even see the yes and no option.

Developer

Thanks!
It should be fixed now!

Developer

Ouh!
Thank you for the kind words and the feedback!
Ah, you're right!
The reaping animation is way too long - good to know for future endeavors.
(I'm not sure if I can change it now or if it breaks the rules 🤔)
