About the game

Death is searching for a successor. To claim his mantle, you must judge the souls of the dead during a surprisingly short, strange and unsettling job interview where every choice shapes the fate of humanity, including your own.

    A fantastic proof of concept, and not much more. I love the idea of a hypothetical game that takes this premise, has a lot more characters to judge, and assigns them to you at random. Maybe even with some slight twists on their stories that can be randomized. More thought, more replayability, and a fitting increase in its price to compensate. But that's not what this is. It's a dollar, it's a fun social experience,…

    Mildly interesting concept. Pixel art is beautiful and interesting. The game itself has barely any content or context. There is a crumb of something interesting here. There is not enough to savor. My playtime is completing it once thoughtfully, then jamming through it quickly a few times thinking I had done something wrong. No, I did not. it loops like a tiktok short.
