Mini Reaper

About

Mini Reaper is a 3D platformer wrapped in a creepy, nostalgic package. You play a grim reaper's overworked assistant, darting through a decaying mansion to gather souls while a hulking monster stalks the halls. The controls are tight, the levels lean into retro aesthetics, and every corner feels like a forgotten game cartridge dug up from a dusty cabinet. The tension comes from quick escapes and timed jumps, with the ever-present threat of the monster closing in. The game’s charm lies in its meta twist. It mimics the thrill of booting up an old emulator, only to realize the software is haunted. The fictional backstory of a neglected reaper sidekick mirrors the player’s experience of chasing pixels in a glitchy, eerie world. While short, the experience packs a punch, blending platforming skill with digital decay. Perfect for fans of spooky, bite-sized adventures that lean into the weirdness of gaming history.
