Reaplaced [FT] Act 1: The Party
14[A Visual Novelty First-Time Playthrough]
A spooky, supernatural mystery game by some of my favorite devs I've played games from? Sign me the heck up!!
I recorded a full playthrough of this game already, and as it just so happens, the story compared to my playthrough splits up cleanly into three near-hour long videos, so I hope you enjoy this spooky mystery week!
Today, in Act 1, our resident reaper Grea strolls on up to a Halloween party off in the woods and meets the party guests, stranded outside/locked out-
Grea knows that someone has died within, but they don't. Can she guide them to the source of the problem? Will she even blend in, a stranger amongst these friends?

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...?
