Reaplaced

I Honestly found the game so fun ! it's not that long as it usually have an average playtime of 2-3h and linear so it is quite easy to follow and there's no need to guess the true ending. I found what i wanted (even if it was quite easy to guess in my opinion) I still had fun even after guessing correctly and i have no regret spending my night on it in a way ! Honestly if you want a dark story, a brutally honest grim reaper protagonist (that does change from a date with death/j) and not overthink it could be your game ! Beside it is the best time to play it as it is the season; Anyways it's free so there's nothing to lose anyways ! Oh and for thoses complaining about not finding the skip button for the under 10min achievement well there's one do check the options section it have the controls with multiples possibilities !

Quite an engaging game, the type you can easily finish in one section and keeps you hooked the whole time. There weren't any slow or boring moments and the reveal was interesting. Just know that this isn't the type of game with any choices or anything, but I honestly think it's better for it, the choices would just feel like the MC has no agency when she is meant to be smart enough to easily solve it herself, no point in having you click wrong answers or anything. I'd recommend.

Short and sweet. Only about an hour or so of playtime but its actually really good. The music was nice and the characters were well designed too.

Positive: 🕵️ Reaplaced is a short supernatural murder mystery adventure where you investigate a locked‑room case and uncover the truth before the grim reaper intervenes. Its story‑driven focus keeps it engaging, with simple but effective investigation mechanics. 📜 Exploring clues and progressing through the narrative is straightforward, making it easy to understand and enjoy without any confusion. 🎯 A small set of 14 Steam achievements gives additional goals tied to the story and clue discovery. Negative: 🔁 Interaction is mostly reading and choosing which clues to examine — don’t expect any action or deep mechanics beyond the narrative. ⚙️ The visuals are basic and reflect its indie roots, but they are clear enough for a focused short experience. 🏆 Completionists & Achievement Hunters: All 14 achievements are obtainable. ⏱️ Players can unlock everything in under 5 minutes if they know where to go and what choices to make. For casual players who take a moment to read and explore, it may take slightly longer, but the full completion is still extremely fast. Overall: Reaplaced is a compact, story‑focused detective game with a very short playtime and easy achievements. Perfect for players looking for a quick narrative experience with immediate completion goals.

Definitely play this if you are in the mood to solve a Halloween murder mystery! It runs about 2 hours and is very well done, especially for free. I'd like to see a sequel with Grea, the Reaper girl. * You can solve the mystery yourself. The game tracks a list of clues you can review. * The setting around reapers, which is explained in the opening, is interesting. * [b]Mio![/b] Her kasa-obake (Japanese umbrella youkai) outfit is super cute! Someone should cosplay it and rig up the eyeball and tongue. * Has all the functionality you'd expect from a visual novel: history, save/load, skip text, keyboard shortcuts. There are also settings for text speed and more. * Music is good. There are a few really minor nitpicks. * Navigating the list of clues with keyboard doesn't work well. First, when you go to the Clues screen, Up/Down don't do anything. You first have to press Left arrow to get focus on the back button, then press Right to get focus in the list. Second, the list doesn't scroll with Up/Down, though you can instead use Page Up/Down. * The story explains why [spoiler]they don't just call the police[/spoiler], but how it plays out is slightly rough. * The [spoiler]skeleton models should have been more realistic.[/spoiler]

This is a pretty short VN, but it was surprisingly good. The one thing I was wanting was a stronger use of the clue system. It would have been neat to have to deduce what happened to progress the game.
