Department Of Demise

Created for the Ludum Dare 50 Game Jam Themed: “Delay the Inevitable”

A plate-spinning style game where you, a junior Grim Reaper associate, are in charge of adjusting and maintaining the clocks of the soon-to-be-deceased in your purview.

A ticker of information tells you what your clients have been up to, and how much it adds to or subtracts from their personal clock.  You will adjust the clocks accordingly and MUST strike the death sentence when it is time (use given Employee Scythe to this purpose).  If you don’t, your error is counted against you and stored in your personnel file.  Four slip-ups and you're fired.

You have a limited number of clients, and the ‘powers that be’ know what your schedule is supposed to look like. If your death-days don’t reconcile, you’re demoted!  As you progress, the incoming information increases its speed.  An hourglass will prompt you to periodically confirm your adjustments. 

Their time is YOUR time.
