Dance until they drop in Kong Orange’s eccentric puzzler

Dance until they drop in offbeat shadow puzzler Felix The Reaper

Who says the reaper has to be grim? A puzzle game in which you orchestrate fatal accidents by manipulating shadows and moving blocks, Felix The Reaper is about facing life’s greatest inevitability with a spring in your step.

“Death is a rather depressing motive,” art director Mikkel Maltesen says, “but I ended up with a design that made Felix friendly, unthreatening, and round. Our historian, Søren Hein, found a medieval text describing death as an office clerk, so we went with a combination of a grey and boring office clerk and a dancing death. Working as an agent of death is a conformal, stiff thing, so dancing is Felix’s way to add colour to his trivial work.” Get ready to shimmy your way through a morbid nine-to-five when Felix The Reaper struts onto PC, PS4, Switch and Xbox One in 2019.
