About Mini Reaper

Mini ReaperYou remember a game and a story about its development from your childhood. A classic 3D platformer that, due to strict deadlines, had to be released in an unfinished state. "Mini Reaper," a charming little spooky game about filling in for the Grim Reaper's work while he went on vacation. Shortly after its unfinished release in 1999, the company Polysoft went under and disbanded completely. You thought the game, played by few and remembered by even fewer, was completely lost media.But then...One day, when once again searching for any mention of the game online, you finally find something! An anonymous user named 'face' posted the game's files to a sketchy looking forum. Thankfully, you have good old PCZ64 to emulate the game with.Note: The "game emulator," and retro game company aspects of Mini Reaper are purely fictional, and for aesthetic purposes only.

I'm an N64 / PSX era fanatic. This game scratches that itch.

Excellent atmosphere, fun movement, solid tension in the gameplay loop. If i had anything negative to say, it's that things feel very slightly too random.

This was a fun little game that I would recommend to anyone that just wants to enjoy a short though slightly challenging experience. I finished the game in 1 hour but trust me that didn't come as easy as i hoped. The mechanics where nice and fluid once you get the hang of it, I see a lot of people complain about the forward leap not working but its just because they hold it down for too long. I will say the game does ramp up in difficulty after you collects the first few souls but it was super enjoyable and the hairs on my neck did stand up when I first died. I cant wait to see what this dev will do in the future.

Mini Reaper is basically what if you put a more basic Mario from Super Mario 64 into Luigi's Mansion to play Slender, and it works! Even if it has some jank, the atmosphere is great and zipping around the mansion tensely running a route and rerouting on the fly when the Enemy shows up is a good time. +Fun aesthetic helps balance the tenseness of the gameplay, love being such a cute little guy in a cool mansion +Simple but quality atmosphere, especially once the Enemy is floating around to ratchet up the intensity +Shmoovement! ~Only one music track, so if it's not one you like or beating the game takes you a lot of tries it could potentially get old quickly ~Also only one layout to the mansion and Souls, meaning replay value is low but speedgame potential is high ~The Mansion is a basically perfect balance of the gameplay concerns, meaning it's really tight to navigate with a weird layout, so even with study you can never really fit it into your mind, which can either be really cool from adding an element of uncertainty to chases and rewarding to highly skilled movement or incredibly frustrating because of the same should you make a wrong turn -The Enemy has really wonky AI and t…

A fun short experience, worth the small price of admission for me, your mileage may vary.

A simple speedrunning platformer with the bonus of a spooky ghost keeping you on your toes. A bit hard to get the layout of the house in your brain, and the story is shallow, but the loadstate makes it easy to get right back into it! Now, we just need some speedruns of this game
