The Grim Reaper Gets a Dating App in Grimder

Grimder is a free game with a quirky premise.. It is a parody of dating apps, and allows you to choose which individuals go to heaven and which go to hell.

Heaven or Hell? You Decide!

In Grimder you take control of the Grim Reaper, who is tasked with assigning the recently deceased to either heaven or hell. It turns out that the afterlife has adapted to the digital revolution, and the Reaper now has an app for this job. AS the player you are confronted with a series of randomly-generated cards, each one listing the personal attributes of a newly-departed soul; your job is to swipe left to condemn them to hell, or swipe right to put them on their way to heaven. Judging each person for example, you may meet a character who remembered his friends’ birthdays and cleaned up litter, but who chewed loudly with his mouth open and kept on quoting annoying teen comedies. Should he go to heaven, or hell? This will be your choice.

Online Dating as You Have Never Seen it Before

Anyone familiar with the culture behind dating apps will understand the joke behind Grimder, which satirises the online dating scene and offers unusual gameplay at the same time. The game does lack variety, but as a free, unusual way to pass the time it does its job.
