Reap Your Love
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Chiyo, by all accounts, is an average Japanese high school student... except for her undying love of isekai webcomics, which leads her to dream of reincarnating in another world. Having grand adventures? Wielding magic? Saving the world? And - most importantly - falling in love? Sign her up for all of it!
But when three grim reapers from different worlds each approach her with an offer to actually be reincarnated in their fantastical realms... will she give up her current boring life or reconsider her dreams?
The clock is ticking, with only 7 days until Chiyo's death.
For the jam version, only the route for Eugene, the steampunk reaper, is complete with more to come.

First of all: Nice artwork. And the writing is good too.
Secondly: How come she doesn't ask the -important- questions?
Like... "Will I keep my memories?"
Cuz otherwise I'd hole up in a cabin in the woods as far away from traffic as I could get.
reincarnation is worthless if you don't get to keep who you are.
(I assume she will of course. But she doesn't know that.)
....I wonder if I can be a villain instead of a hero...somehow.... *ponders*
Being a hero is just....ugh.... >_>
Any chance that this game have, or will have, some kind of route where you can be a villain at some point?
Like, maybe a 4th reaper makes off with you before those 3 can, or in each of their world there's a villain and you can choose to fall for them and run off or something?
(Or just plain get too deep in with Dark Magic and let it corrupt you --my favorite. ^_^ )
....I think this world should be happy I don't have any magical powers and is too damned lazy to actually do something that would impact the world. lol
I guess either way I'll have to wait for the fantasy world. *sigh*
Oh, well.... C'la vie.
I also feel like there is no better reason to skip school and homework than knowing you'll be dead soon.
I mean... it's a pointless investment for a future you'll never see.
And she clearly doesn't enjoy it.
So why not just call in sick?
(I'd say drop out, but with her age I'm guessing she has parents somewhere that'd kick up a fuss. But calling in sick should work. And in a few days it won't matter what anyone in that world thinks anymore.)
Also a bit surprised she isn't settling her affairs. But she -does- strike me as friendless and possibly orphan too.
So unless she has a facebook account she want to turn into a memorial or something I guess it makes sense she doesn't bother with practical things.
(Well, that, and she seems like a dreamer more than practical. lol)
.....unless she is actually delusional because of a brain tumor, and is hallucinating everything, and the game will take a surprise turn as we see her hauled away to an asylum. *stares at the game suspiciously*
The story is very captivating tho. The writing pulls you in.
I am surprised how long the game is before the Isenkai part kicks in.
I can't help but wonder if that is not meant to happen and the game is actually the part before it happens. oO
Why is the mc not a self-insert name tho?
Considering how common that is, I assumed it wouldn't be too hard to code.
And it always improved the experience when you can play as yourself.
....not a fan of the Steampunk world's end game.
Not to say I mind the problems, but the solution.... ugh.
Although I suspect I am outnumbered by people who would like it. lol
I -can- see how someone who is not me might like it.
Not a fan of the ending either.
The game builds up a certain type of expectation, and the ending completely circumvents it.
It feels VERY disappointing.
I quite frankly don't get how the mc isn't dissapointed too.
It was such a big buildup, only for it to deflate like that.
The 'bad ending' (or non-romantic one at least) is the only ending that lives up to the premise of the story, and it doesn't really show anything of it.
It's especially sad because the game is actually pretty good, and the artwork as well.
But in the end up get no choice either way, and it just fail to live up to it's premise.
Love this! just wondering if the games abandoned or if were getting Reynold eventually?
It took me a while to get to this one but I'm here now and I liked it! Since Eugene's route is the only one out atm, I only read through his parts and I thought he was very sweet. I enjoyed the time spent with him and I appreciate the themes of this isekai adjacent story. Still very much interested to see the other boys' routes so hang in there and keep doing what you guys are doing! :))
Aww, thank you so much for your comment skai! I'm really glad you liked his route! <3
This was so cute!!
First of all, the art was lovely, I really liked the sprites and CGs. The music was also very nice and fitting!
Then, I loved the concept of making the MC aware that she's going to reincarnate only to have her appreciate her life more as the days close to her death go by. Usually in these isekai stories the MC dies right away so having a different kind of story where the guys come to her real world instead was very interesting!
I finished Eugene's route and have to say I loved it a lot. Eugene acts cold at first but he's SUCH A SWEETHEART and a softie and jkebsgdksjbgjks aahhh, he's just so adorable!! I really loved the chemistry between him and Chiyo, it all felt really natural and sweet. It made me feel like I was reading a shoujo manga and my heart felt warm the whole time. I really missed this feeling of reading something so adorable. Chiyo was a nice protagonist too. I like that we see her struggles and it's not all just about Eugene. The progress of the romance was very well done, which can be very tricky in the span of a week, but I loved how it was done! First Chiyo kinda needed to break the ice, then they start behaving as friends, and finally they start becoming more aware of each other in a romantic way. It was all very heartwarming <3
I think the only thing I'd criticize is to make the sprites move a little more during the action scenes, maybe adding a few sound effects here and there too, since it did feel a bit static when scenes like that played out. But that's really all, and it's quite minor, the rest I liked it a lot!!
Awesome job and good luck with the other 2 routes!! :D
It makes me really happy you enjoyed Eugene's route so much! Thank you so much for your kind comment <3 <3
Hot grim reapers?
Can I fast forward those 7 days to one? :)
Adding to my first impressions:
* I've never experienced grim reapers who are 1. Young and 2. Hot. This is a first for me, and I'm very happy about this whole concept.
* Character design = amazing:
* Cole - sci fi futuristic.
* Reynold - regal, serious, Duke, and
* Eugene - steampunk cool.
* Story premise with 7 days to choose a grim reaper and choose a fantastical world - helps keep writing tight and the goal really clear.
Overall, I really enjoyed this game!
One of my favorite things about this game is the completely different designs of the love interests! It really caught my eye (I am a fan of Reynold for sure!) The story so far is unique and fun, a really enjoyable otome! Cant wait for the rest of the routes!
Right? I think it's really fun to see how different they are, so I'm glad you liked that!
Keep an eye out for updates >v<
Well done to the "Reap your Love" team. Played Cole first, then Eugene. Can't wait for Reynold as I love their character design the best! Love the writing and story. The 7 days timeline adds drama, tension and interest. Looking forward to more!
I'm glad you liked it! The 7 days timeline def helped make things interesting~
reynold looks like your typical "duke of the north" guy and i looove it !! so excited for his route and the whole game, theyre all so pretty <33
This is really good I love it, can't wait for more updates 😊
reynold loooook so familiar.
He kind of resembles Muzan from Demon Slayer in my opinion! lol
