Embark on a thrilling 2D action adventure as a young reaper in Journey of the Small Reaper. A millennium after a legendary reaper banished a consuming darkness, unsettling shadows stir, and nightmares plague once-peaceful villages. You, a new reaper, must maintain the balance between light and shadow.

Haunted by echoes of the ancient battle, you hone your spectral arts. But when corrupted creatures emerge, you discover the darkness merely bided its time. Guided by a spectral raven, you journey to uncover the source of this renewed evil. Your quest leads through forgotten ruins, sun-drenched plains, and treacherous dungeons filled with nightmarish foes. You'll encounter unlikely allies—a cunning kitsune, a stoic golem—each with secrets and motivations.

The darkness is orchestrated by the Shadow Weaver, a malevolent entity seeking to plunge the world into eternal night. To defeat this ancient evil, you must master your reaper abilities and confront your inner demons, for darkness thrives on doubt and fear.
