About
In this small Indie, short narrative-based game, you take the role of the Grim Reaper... on an office job. Your job is to decide which people are going to live or die. Your choices will affect the world around you. Keep the chaos away or foil plots to destroy the world and rise through the ranks of Reapers all the way up to MIDDLE-MANAGEMENT, wow!

6/10 目前体验 美术不错;文本量大;有些道具作用的引导不行,买来好像只是好看?;重复性高;有些重要道具没买游戏内容和体验都不在一个层次,但没啥指引; 总结就是不适合一口气打下去,但隔一段时间打又会忘了一些人物,挺尴尬的(
i talked about taxes to a cat ♥♥♥♥ this cat btw
Oyunun grafikleri tatlı ve hoş. Ancak hikâyesi oldukça kısa ve seçim çeşitliliği çok fazla değil. Ana hikâye yaklaşık 3 saat sürüyor, yan içeriklerle birlikte ise 5 saati bulabiliyor. Buna rağmen deneyimlenmeye değer bir oyun. Kısa olmasına rağmen keyifli bir deneyim sunuyor, fakat bir süre sonra kendini tekrar etmeye başladığı için sıkabiliyor. Bu yüzden benim puanım 6/10.
Обычно инди хочется закрывать на 100%, эту -- не хочется Вторична во всех смыслах, не особо смешная, не особо интересная. Скоротать часок-другой, посмотреть как ты всех угробишь -- можно, но дальше, после одной завершённой катки игру видеть не хочется. Второе прохождение? Новая игра+? -- Не, чёта не хочу, пока Лучше Паперс плеазе купить или любую другую из её многочисленных клонов
It's strangely addicting, up until you get all of the achievement. There's not replay value after that. By that time, you've seen everything that there is to see.
Good fun. I wouldn't call it great, but it was good fun.
剛開始玩第一周目時完全搞不清楚狀況,大量文字對話選項但沒有目標讓人感到有點煩躁。不過後來發現會需要多周目來解成就,如果以解成就和多結局為目的,每次輪迴都有意識的選不同的選項來觀測事件走向和新的結局,反而可以找到樂趣。 比較麻煩的是,有時候不小心行差踏錯一步(選錯選項),就要重新走一遍新的周目(28天的工作!!),才能達成想要的結局。簡直是另類的社畜模擬遊戲。 [spoiler] 為了解成就走了十五個周目,玩到快吐了!! 我在最後一次遊戲後處死了所有遊戲職員!! [/spoiler]
Dying of boredom
hafiften bayıyo 1 kere oynayıp geçersen güzel ama
I honestly love death and taxes (though not the latter lmao). Anyhow, I guess this game could be pretty much summed up as a more complex Papers please, I game which I absolutely adored. So yeah, take it from this random stranger online, this game is truly peak and worth your time and money! (better than paying taxes anyhow)
