About Death's Life: 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.
