To succeed, you must master three key rules: stay in the shadows, control the shadows by rotating the sun and moving objects, and ultimately ensure that your targets meet their fate. The game is wrapped in a rich narrative filled with themes of love, death, dance, and art history, providing a unique storytelling experience.

Felix The Reaper draws inspiration from various cultural depictions of death, such as The Dance of Death and Death And The Maiden, blending them into a quirky and engaging world. The character and setting are influenced by sources ranging from The Twilight Zone to medieval painters like Bruegel and Bosch, as well as modern cartoons like Adventure Time and works by Hayao Miyazaki.

The game features an original soundtrack from over ten indie music artists, enhancing the experience as Felix dances through his tasks. Players can also unlock time trials and hardcore levels for an added challenge. The artistic collaboration in the game's production involved dancers and music artists, contributing to its unique style and atmosphere. Additionally, the game includes articles by historian Søren Hein Rasmussen, exploring the art history of death, which players can unlock as they progress.
