About
The foghorns wake you, violent as ever. Another passenger has come to cross the fog.
In the dream you wander through the pines, and come upon a body. Innocent and young, murdered in cold blood. By your hand or another? Makes no difference now.

How to tell real from dream when the dead speak again?
Physics-based interactions to open doors, drag objects, and operate the crank of the ferry to pull it along a rusty old chain. The foghorns have little patience, the ferry must move.
A rich, detailed narrative told through environmental clues, dialogue with the townsfolk, and surreal visions woven into your experience. The fog speaks to those who listen.
Psychological horror that escalate as truth begins to blur, and strange old tales begin to reveal themselves to you. Something in the water demands its toll.
Who is the killer? Why did the old ferryman disappear? Solve the mystery, before it's too late.

peak atmosphere but the game was too short so the story didnt really deliver and it lacked a proper conclusion :<
I liked it. Took me about 1:30. The ambiance and feel were pretty good. They never fully explain the story, but that's okay. It's more of an experience than a narrative. My biggest complain is with the physics controls. To operate doors, you click and hold on the door handle and move either up or down which feels weird. Controlling the wheel, especially when it's low near the bottom of the screen, is sluggish and uncooperative.
This is barely a recommendation for me. The game's great but it's just...too SHORT for what it is. It doesn't properly build up to and resolve its mysteries in a satisfying way. Which is sad, because the vibes are immaculate and the devs clearly know what they're doing.;
10/10 solid game, it was very interesting and kept me hooked on the story. I recommend anyone who seems interested to play. its not very long maybe around an hour and thirty mins give or take unless you're looking around for secrets.
Foghorns Drown is an interesting psychological horror game but I expected more gameplay time
i lovedddd it 🩷
I love indie horror. this game feels intentional and knows what it wants to say. it doesn't rely as much on constant jump scares, it builds on a sort of oppressive atmosphere that sticks with you. the fog, the isolation, and the sound design all work together in a very satisfying way. this game is paced phenomenally. the story isn't a rush and lets the building tension breathe. every conversation, every detail, and every ferry ride set the hook more and more. the graphics are gorgeous for those of us who love that retro feel. I really did enjoy every minute in this world. the immersion and scenes made me worry about missing parts of the story, which I'm sure I did. the sound design and music really is incredible. the sadness and nostalgia feels raw and real. the music is immersive and sucked me further into the story. I took my time and the story took me about 2.5 hours, and I am sure there is more that I missed. this game is worth the time and money.
