Welcome to the afterlife, or rather, the bureaucratic limbo that awaits those not quite good enough for heaven nor bad enough for hell. In Reaper's Interim Program (R.
I. P.
), players are thrust into this unique purgatory with a choice: languish in endless paperwork or embrace a more purposeful existence by joining the Reaper Academy.
This action roguelike plunges you into rigorous training designed to transform you into a capable reaper. The curriculum is anything but mundane.
You'll learn the essential skills for capturing the souls of the recently deceased, facing down increasingly difficult obstacles. These challenges include navigating treacherous environments and dodging deadly laser rays, all part of a demanding 50-level course.
Progression is key, with upgrades available to help you master the trials and ultimately earn your reaper's diploma. The game emphasizes a grid-based movement system within its 2D perspective, offering a tactical layer to the fast-paced bullet hell action.
Developed and published by David Pulido Vargas, R. I.
