Now you’re the new apprentice for Death. And it's your job to help gather souls. Only thing is, you can't just go and kill people to get the souls, it has to look natural. Like an accident. And that means setting up bottles, knives, brooms, and other regular objects in such a way as to create deadly chain reactions.

Death's Life is a Casual and Indie game released in 2016, priced at $2.99, with Mostly Positive sentiment (72% of 101 reviews) and an owner estimate of 20,000 .. 50,000.
