About Reaper's Isle
REAPER'S ISLE is an open-world, stealth horror game created by a team of students at UW-Stout and Berklee College of Music.
You receive a concerning message from your daughter, a paleontologist stationed on a remote island. After making your way to the isle, you discover horrifying phantoms from the ancient world. Restore power across the map to gain access to the main laboratory where you’ll discover the fate of your missing daughter.
EVADE
Avoid phantom monsters while solving basic puzzles to restore power across the island at watchtowers. By hiding in bushes, or tall grass and moving carefully, you can avoid confrontation. Throw rocks to distract and maneuver skillfully around the phantoms. You must be cautious, as the phantoms will absorb your soul if they touch you, causing you to restart at your last checkpoint.
DISCOVER
Explore the open world environment in first-person perspective. Study plants and creatures to uncover their mysterious origins and behavioral traits to help you survive. Discover logs and signs of former destruction to uncover secrets about the prior island's inhabitants.
UNCOVER
Finally, after restoring power, venture into the lab in the island's depths where you’ll discover the fate of your missing daughter.

Voice acting is created using Murf AI due to the inability to find real voice actors while working on the project. Trust me, we tried! We were originally told we'd be provided voice actors, but when that fell through, we put out memos to our whole college, contacted groups, strangers, etc., and because we wanted proper representation for African American characters, we didn't feel right voicing it ourselves. We chose Murf AI because they work with real paid voice actors, which we felt was the closest morally acceptable choice, as we could not pay anyone else to be a voice actor online because this was a college-made game, and that was not allowed. If anyone ever wants to volunteer to voice act for Reaper's Isle, please reach out to us on our website, as we will always be a human-prioritized game development group.

✦ AI summary
Reaper's Isle has an interesting visual style with its purple color palette and unique ghost dinosaur concept, but players consistently report that the core experience is hindered by technical and design issues. Major complaints include poor stealth mechanics, artificial-sounding voice acting, significant performance problems causing lag and motion sickness, and tedious pacing that feels more like an unfinished student project than a polished game. While the game shows creative potential, players agree it needs substantial improvements in gameplay, performance, and voice acting before it becom
Yeah, I know that this is a student project. I can't be too harsh on it, it probably had a pretty limited dev time, limited assets, etc. There's a couple nice things here though. The game is very... for lack of a better word, [i]purple[/i], which I personally found to be a pretty cool color palette that gave this a sense of style. The concept of ghost dinosaurs is pretty unique, and they did actually try to give this short game a kind-of-interesting villain entity. None of this makes the game actually [i]good[/i] though, and make no mistake - [i]Reaper's Isle[/i] is fundamentally broken and not fun at all. The intented gameplay loop here is to stealth around the island by crouching in bushes and grass to sneak around ghostly dinosaurs as you restore power to various towers and unlock the central lab in order to rescue your daughter, a researcher on the island. In theory, sounds fine for what this is. In practice? Yeah the stealth just doesn't work at all. You will get caught, you will die, again and again and again. There's no indicator that tells you whether you're hidden, just a proximity indicator that tells you if a ghost dinosaur is nearby, so the entire thing is trial an…1 found this helpful

Poor "sneaking" mechanic, terrible voiceover and the gameplay is not fun at all. Feels more like an unfinished student project than a regular game.
Honestly, can't get past the AI sounding voice acting. It ruins so much for me. Pacing seems fairly off and the tutorial was pretty pathetic. I think this game has a lot of potential but needs to listen to the reviews before it can become something.
It's an interesting game however, the game was incredibly lagging and made me nauseated with in a few minutes of playing. This also made the game difficult to play.
it's...okay, the game is a little slow but also throws you into sneaking around the map almost straight away is a little tedious. the game does have quite a bit of lag (or sluggish/blurry) when reaching the next objective which game can make people nauseous. i had to stop playing due to that. i wouldn't recommend this game to others if they have motion sickness, also feels a little unfinished
