This is a tragically funny story about the Life of Death. You play as Felix, a Reaper for the Ministry of Death, who has fallen in love with Betty, a member of the Ministry of Life. Felix became a Field Reaper, in hopes of meeting Betty in the Mortal World face to face, and in hopes of impressing Betty, Felix has taught himself to dance, which he does now, endlessly. As a Field Reaper, your job is to make sure everything, and everyone, is in the right place so the tragic event that takes their life, will occur on schedule. To do this, you must navigate around small areas of the mortal realm, the catch is Reapers cannot step into the daylight, so they must stay in the shadows. to do this, you have a sundial, that allows you to turn the position of the sun, therefore changing the position of shadows. Using the environment to further manipulate the darkness, you find your way around to finishing the lifespan of your target. Contracts have other obligations to carry them out perfectly, including how many spaces you moved or turn the sun, to how fast you accomplish the task. Felix the Reaper is an incredibly though out game that will keep you smiling, and keep even the sharpest of minds guessing. Some puzzles will appear to have no solution, but keep pressing they can be beaten!… Expand

    I really enjoy puzzle games, even those with some steep challenges, but for some reason, Felix The Reaper frustrated me more than usual with its steep difficulty, and moments of ‘fun’ were far and few in between. Levels should only take a matter of minutes, but when I’m repeatedly trying one for over an hour, it’s hard to not let the frustration set in. If you really want to challenge yourself then Felix The Reaper is a great choice for those that truly want to test themselves with some punishing difficulty. For the more casual puzzle fans, it’s hard to recommend as you’ll get stuck quite early on, something that even Felix’s charm and dance moves can’t overcome.

    Felix the Reaper is a textbook example of style over substance. The presentation, especially of the central character, is immaculate and easily the most enjoyable part of the experience. The game itself isn’t bad, but it lacks anything that left me itching to play more. The gameplay is fine but solutions can be a bit obtuse, while the additional challenges are too hardcore to be fun. I could watch Felix dance all day, but those moves won’t charm anyone who’s not ready to take on his deadly dance floor.

    We should not expect the best story, although the gameplay approach will be very original, and a reason to give it a chance.
