The Detective Reaper Invites

The job of a detective reaper is simple: get testimonies from the suspects, deduce the culprit, and execute them with your own two hands. Culprits always tell lies, and the innocent always tell the truth. If you choose incorrectly, you will be deemed unfit to be a detective reaper… and yours will be the next life to be harvested. Every murder case you have to solve is randomly generated on a game board, and if you fail (and get a Game Over), you will have to start all over again. No two cases are entirely the same, and there is no single correct way to proceed. Rack your brain and expose murderers, one after the other. How long do you think you can last…?

  • Cards that can help you gain new and crucial testimonies. They cost money though, so keep an eye on your finances!
  • All cases are randomly generated, so no matter how many times you play, every playthrough provides new deductions for you to solve.
  • Brave event tiles and get supportive items as you make your way across the board in order to solve just one more case!
  • See how well (or not) you did on the results screen. Can you grow as a detective reaper and beat your own records?
  • Unlock Hard Mode to pit your detective skills against the clock!
