The Final Farewell

Played this on my Steam Deck and it literally becomes a book. Short story but it's a wonderful experience. It's a perfect palate cleanser amidst a hefty backlog of games.

A very sweet game about grief that can be completed in under one hour. I loved the representation throughout the game. Art style is super cute, with a very calming atmosphere and smooth game play. A cute game that I am glad to have purchased.

A very cute game about helping others deal with your loss, and maybe yourself as well. You begin as a ghost with no memory. You take a journey in helping others find out why they are in the forest (Hint: It's always to deal with a loss they've recently endured). The mechanics of the game are very simple. You go around and find the items related to the character. You need at least 2, but all 3 is ideal. You then guess on how the item is associated to their lost one. If you get 2 wrong, you'll have to gather the items again and try again, but it only takes a minute so not a huge loss. I only had to redo one, they were all (in my opinion) simple to figure out with context clues! I found the 'powerups' you get from the ghosts you collect to be pretty useless to be honest, but it didn't hinder the game in any way. I tried each one out once and none really stuck out to me as one I should keep trying, but they're not really at all required to finish the game, anyway. I didn't find the difficulty to amp up with each person we help, so a powerup wasn't really needed. The art is absolutely adorable. It's simple but sets a wonderful vibe for the game, and I found the color palette to mesh really nicely. The character designs were really cute and seemed to match nicely for the kind of personality they were intended to give off (though obviously we don't get too much, as we're not with each character long). The story is simple, but can definitely be emotional, especially if you relate to any of the stories. The one that hit me most was definitely your own story, which is, of course, the last one you figure out, though you get a few hints along the way. It's a pretty short game, so $6 may feel a little steep, but honestly, I'm happy to support the devs with that. I believe it is there first game (on steam, at least) and it felt really well done :)

I was given the amazing opportunity to play The Final Farewell before release and I loved every second of it. Every character is engaging and complex and the art style is reminiscent of scrapbook collages from childhood which adds to the overall themes of memory, loss, and redemption. The game is short and can be played in a single sitting, but weaves emotional narratives together which takes you on a complete journey and leaves you feeling satisfied at the end. Fair warning, make sure you have tissues at the ready throughout this game! Trust me, you'll need them!

Very sweet and cosy game.

The Final Farewell packs a lot of emotion into a short playtime, and its cute art style works really well with the themes of memory and saying goodbye. The gameplay is fun and you'll get the hang of the controls quickly!

I'm crying... T___T a short story rich game that packs a lot emotion on. Cute art and nice environment. Recommended!

This hit way too close to home. Loved every second of it and would recommend to everyone. But like everyone else said, grab those tissue boxes, you're going to need them.

Es geht um Verlust enger vertrauter, aber auch um Akzeptanz. Sehr hübsch illustriert, schöne Musik, spielerisch jetzt kein Highlight, aber schöne Geschichten.

Purchased for a child to help understand grief instead met with sexuality references and gender politics. Entirely unnecessary and unsuitable.
