| Game Overview |
| A seat has opened. The new detective grim reaper takes the seat. A detective grim reaper’s job is to execute murderers. Everything is going as planned. Let’s begin… |
 |
| Invitation from the Detective Grim Reaper is a roguelite deduction game. As the detective grim reaper, your job is to solve randomly-generated murder cases, find the culprit, and execute them. The only clues you have are testimonies from the suspects. The culprit will always lie, and the innocent will always tell the truth. You will also receive cards with special abilities to aid you in your detective work. By using cards, you can gain more insight into the case, such as by obtaining a new testimony. But take care not to use all of them in one go! You might need them for a tougher case later on… It’s time to put your wits to the test and expose as many murderers as you can. |
