Nu Reaper

Play as the new grim reaper as you harvest souls from the innocent to grow your own power. But every choice has a cost... How greedy are you feeling?

Controls:

WASD or Left Stick: Move

Arrow Keys or Right Stick: Aim

Spacebar or Right Trigger: Throw scythe

Hold the throw button to keep it out, release the button to return the scythe to you. You can maneuver the scythe with the aim controls while it is flying.

Created for the Night City Jam Jam. Nu Reaper is inspired by The Darkhorse Collective's track "Nu Horizons." The game tries to embody the greed, and force the player to come to terms with the fact that all power comes with a cost. It was also inspired by the imagery of the song, particularly the line "You know we'll reap rewards when all is said and done."
