Before going to sleep, I decided to play this demo.

Setup: Mouse

Steam Game Time: 35 minutes

First Impressions:
Basic rules/mechanics are similar to Reigns / Reigns: Her Majesty except with a different theme: the player is presented with story cards and makes one of two options. Options will increase/decrease the player character's four attributes and the player's run ends when an attribute is completely filled or completely defeated.

The artwork here is a mix of anime and chibi drawings. The story is the player is a Trainee Death (i.e., a Death-in-training) and must harvest souls to pay off a debt. The debt seems to act as a secondary loss condition, where the player may succeed in maintaining the player character's attributes, but fail to harvest enough souls to meet the debt. In this manner, the player cannot be too conservative with attributes staying in the middle, since this will likely result in falling short of souls.

Overall, the theme is decent and I didn't really encounter any particular element that clearly pointed to the game being clearly better or worse than Reigns: Her Majesty (I have yet to play Reigns).

Demo Rating: 4.6 out of 5
