Embark on a thrilling 2D action adventure as a young reaper in "Journey of the Small Reaper." A millennium after a cataclysmic battle banished an all-consuming darkness, unsettling shadows and nightmares plague the once-peaceful land. You, a reaper tasked with maintaining balance, must hone your spectral arts to combat a resurgence of evil.

Guided by a spectral raven, your perilous journey will lead you through forgotten ruins, sun-drenched landscapes, and treacherous dungeons teeming with corrupted creatures. You'll forge alliances with unlikely companions: a cunning kitsune wielding forbidden shadow magic, and a stoic golem burdened by a tragic past. Can you trust them?

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.
