This project was made in one month for the 
Spooktober Visual Novel Jam 2023!

Reaplaced is a supernatural Halloween whodunnit. Solve a chilling locked-room mystery before the grim reaper reveals the answer!

You can also play the game on Steam! (And if you do, please leave a review there -- it helps us a lot!)

- CONTENT WARNING -
This game contains strong language, text depictions of blood, gore, death, and visual depictions of blood. Some legal alcohol consumption is implied. Player discretion is advised.

Grea Perrim is a reaper of souls, and it's her duty to bring the deceased to the other side. But in the world of reapers, death isn't any kind of equalizer. The value of a soul is directly tied to the peculiarity of its death.

Grea's supernatural senses bring her to a Halloween house party with three costumed guests. She soon finds the most valuable kind of soul: the victim of a locked-room murder.

In order to reap the soul, Grea must unravel the identity of its killer and explain its death in full.

Is this the work of a human? A witch? Or something else entirely...?

This game is a linear murder mystery visual novel with only one ending. There are choices, but they only affect the order in which you experience the story -- nothing else. 

Your goal is to solve the mystery before the truth is revealed at the end of the game. As you play, clues will be added to your inventory to help you piece together the answer yourself.

Best of luck, and Happy Halloween!
