How to play:
The Reaper is dreadfully behind with his taxes paperwork, but he still tries to stave you off. How rude, you're just trying to help!
As you travel through the underworld, Reaper will use his mind trickery to mislead you. You must break free from all his commands!
For each command, you can either follow or resist it.
If you follow a non-weakened command, you perform it without much effect.
If you resist a command, it becomes weakened, but just resisting won't do.
Follow a weakened command to finally get it out of the system!
If you remove all commands without getting stuck in the water, you win. If there are guiding wisps in the level, you must reach them as well, or else you'll get lost.
