Hello my name is Siderophilia and I have played The Grim Reaper who reaped my Heart! [2020-01-15] by Kamuo.
As of its current state this is a short (<1 hour) kinetic novel about a guy who is visited by the Grim Reaper. The Reaper, unlike what you'd expect, is actually a cute girl who just wants to play video games all day and is entirely clueless about the sexual acts of the living, but without much convincing soon becomes a willing participant.
The current version has a total of three animated scenes (none of which include penetration) and a few CG's to go between them. These animations are without a doubt the strong point of this game, with nice fluidity and even voice acting consisting of soft moans which fit very well with the scenes. The design for Vel-chan (the titular Grim Reaper) is something you can decide if you like for yourself, personally I find it cute. The game has background music which I suppose sort of fits with what's on display but it isn't anything noteworthy.
When it comes to writing which I believe should be the main course for any kinetic novel it doesn't offer up all that much. There isn't all that much of it but what there is at the same time manages to feel a bit like filler content between the animations. I guess if you're into the socially awkward gamer girl trope it's a big plus but other than that there isn't much personality to either of the characters. So far the fact that she is supposed to be representative of the grim reaper has been of lesser importance for the story, and it could equally well be replaced with her being the Ghost of Christmas Past without having much of an impact. I suppose at least it's written in correct and comprehensible English, which isn't something you see every day. At the end it teases the introduction of another cute reaper girl, but that'll have to wait for future releases.
That's pretty much it for The Grim Reaper who reaped my Heart. Sweet girl, good animated scenes, but a pretty lackluster story which might as well be skipped through. 4/5
