Death Lag

Story

You are the dreaded Grim Reaper, death, the one in charge of sending souls to hell or heaven, depending on how they have behaved in life.

You've been lazing around and procrastinating your duties for so many years that many of those souls are still alive without deserving it!

Don't worry! It's never too late to get back to work.

Draw your executioner's scythe and discover the identity of those victims who should have died 20 years ago.

But beware! Not all of them deserve eternal rest...yet. ;)

What can you find out?

❤️ The story features two endings, one bad and one not so bad.

❤️ You start the game with the pictures of your victims, but many years have passed, they have aged and you won't recognize them so easily.

❤️ The game is replayable. In each game you will start with 3 random photographs. There are up to 8 different ones to be discovered. Will you find them all?

❤️ All the characters have something to say. Don't be shy! If you get close, they will surely give you some clues.

❤️ All the scenery, characters and vignettes have been lovingly drawn exclusively for Game Jam.
