Buy The Detective Reaper Invites PC key

The Detective Reaper Invites is a roguelite deduction adventure in which you investigate murder cases and execute the culprits. Each case presents testimonies from suspects: culprits always lie, while innocent suspects always tell the truth. Choose incorrectly and you lose a life; a Game Over sends you back to the start of the run.

Solve the cases

Cases are randomly generated on a board, so playthroughs bring new deductions and there is no single route through them. Use cards to gain new testimonies and other help, then decide how much money to spend: cards cost money, which you earn by successfully executing culprits. Bonuses reward efficient identifications, and spending money during a run can unlock new cards. Spending too freely may leave you short when a later case is harder.

At the start of each case, you can redraw cards to shape your strategy. After each case, choose a tile for your next move:

• Deduction: investigate a murder and identify and execute the culprit or culprits. Cases come in Normal, Difficult and Arduous tiers. The final tile of each stage is always an Arduous Deduction; completing it advances the detective reaper’s story.
• Shop: buy items and cards, or pay to recover HP. The shop also offers money for taking Demerit Cards and cursed items, which have detrimental effects.
• Treasure: open a chest for a random item, which may be cursed.
• Random: encounter an unknown event.

Survive the run

The cases and board events test how carefully you manage your resources and choices. Supportive items can be found on event tiles, while mistakes can be fatal. Results screens track how well you did, giving you records to try to beat, and you can unlock Hard Mode, where you solve cases against the clock.
