About

The dead arrive before you one soul at a time, carrying stories of cruelty, regret, fear, and desperation. Some seek forgiveness. Others believe they deserve none.
Listen carefully. Judge wisely. Your verdict will decide who ascends, who suffers, and who is condemned to something far worse.

Death is searching for a successor.
Behind a quiet desk at the edge of eternity, you are subjected to a strange and unsettling interview to determine whether you are worthy of inheriting the Ferryman’s mantle.
But while you judge the dead, something else is judging you.

Every choice matters.
The Ferryman’s Trial is a short narrative experience designed to be completed in a single sitting, where your decisions shape humanity’s future, alter the fate of countless souls, and lead to multiple endings.
No judgment is forgotten. No mercy comes without consequence.

Although it's simple, the game introduces 10 interesting, different and morally gray characters. The burden of the choices felt kinda real because of the write's quality. The art style and music are also a 10/10 to me!
Enjoyed it.
I rarely play visual novels, but this one seemed interesting and cheap, so I decided to give it a try. The choices actually made me stop and wonder about what's right and wrong, so I certainly recommend it.
This short little game just stopped me in my tracks. It made me to think about life, death, morality and the sense of "worth" the most In a long while. The writing is amazing, the art direction is very eerie and the soundtrack is just perfect. 10/10.
Interesting concept, well executed. You judge characters based on their stories, and the decisions aren't as obvious as they seem at first. Each character comes from a different background, which keeps things fresh throughout. The dark visuals do a good job setting a grim, unsettling atmosphere. Recommended if you're into narrative-focused visual novels.
The soundtrack deserves more credit. Even though it's just one song, it does a lot of heavy lifting when the tension starts building. A hidden gem for sure.
Very interesting and very cool little game. Extremely interesting and well written.
meh... Vague as hell. Choices are bordrline impossible. You basically have to agree with the dev by doing trial and error. Zero graphics. Zero animation. Id refund and leave a not recommended but this dude must need the money.
This is a pretty neat and short game that's worth the price. You're basically playing as a soul put in charge by the Ferryman to judge ten individuals on whether they go to heaven or hell. You get to ask three questions for each person to learn more about their motives and actions before deciding their fate. Most of them will be morally grey, so sometime the decisions you make aren't as clear cut. However, not all of them are necessarily telling the truth which makes it more interesting. I managed to find three different endings and I'd recommend it because it has such great atmosphere and art style.
