From the dawn of time, humanity was followed by death in all of its many forms. Accidents, intent or nature - something will take its toll, and after the flesh and bones no longer keep the soul inside, a Reaper will come to do his job. Don't fear him, there's no evil or good in collecting the life's harvest... instead, follow him in the hardest days of his work, as he takes care of the otherworldly side of a whole battlefield, where unbound souls of dying people appear en masse, requiring herding to the afterlife and protection from the malevolent demons swarming the place!

Game is divided into three 3-minute days, each requiring more and more souls to successfully finish: 5 for the first, 10 for the second and 15 for the last. Only souls counted are those stored in the well in the centre of the map, not ones carried by the player! Souls appear randomly around halfway from the well to the map edges, and are picked up by simply running over them; player may only hold 5 souls, any more won't be picked up. Touching a well stores all held souls in it. After each day is successfully finished, you may purchase upgrades for the Reaper and get ready for the next dawn...

Demons will appear at the map edges, attempting to get the souls and run away with them - either by taking unguided ones or directly attacking the player, momentarily stunning and stealing one of the souls held by him, if he has any. They can only carry one soul at the time, but there will be a lot of them! Dispatch of these pests by clicking LMB while aiming your cursor in the direction in which you wish to attack; if you kill one that had a soul, it's granted back to you, given you don't carry a max amount already.

OTHER CONTROLS:

[Space] dashes you forward, ignoring walls and obstacles in the process.

[M] opens a map, showing all the souls and demons. While map is open, [Middle mouse button] to teleport to a chosen point, however you lose all souls in the progress - it's good for catching runaway demons; pressing it once starts the slow teleportation, which takes a bit. You may speed it up to occur instantly by clicking MMB again on the same spot, however this instant teleportation has a cooldown which is shown in a blue circle around the player icon on the map.

[B] teleports straight to the well, however you only keep half of the collected souls
