Our take on Felix The Reaper
The focus on fixed grid puzzles gives up open-ended exploration and fast action. Progress depends on understanding shadow positions, object placement, and sun rotation, so the game favors deliberate problem solving over spontaneous movement or combat.
What is Felix The Reaper?
Felix The Reaper is a single-player 3D puzzle game set on grid-based platforms divided between light and shadow.
Felix must remain concealed while arranging situations that lead people to their deaths. Players rotate the sun, move objects, and create routes through shadowed areas to reach each target. The game combines shadow manipulation with puzzle structures likened to Hitman Go, Monument Valley, and Sokoban. A narrative about dangerous love, death, dance, and comedy frames the levels. Progression includes time trials, hardcore stages, and five unlockable articles about the cultural history of death. An original soundtrack features contributions from more than 10 independent music artists.
