In this unique indie game, you step into the shoes of the Grim Reaper, but with a twist: you're working a regular office job. As a Reaper, your daily tasks involve making life-or-death decisions that will shape the world around you. Your mission is to maintain order, thwart sinister plots, and advance in your career to reach the coveted position of middle-management.
