About
You are on a boat at sea.
Also, you are dead.
To figure out why, you will need to inhabit the other residents of the ship and use them to investigate what led to your untimely demise. As a ghost, you can take control of characters in the game, and talk to others - based on who you are controlling and who you are talking to, there is a unique conversation. With each combination of characters leading to a different interaction based on their relationship or chemistry, your challenge is to find the interactions that will reveal pertinent information. Understand what makes your shipmates tick, and uncover the secrets that they hold.
Investigate an intricate mystery where few are who they seem and everyone has a secret.
Meet nine unique and developed characters, with their own personal fears and ambitions.
Use your ghost powers to possess bodies and read minds.
Recover your former identity to upgrade your ghastly powers.
Unlock multiple endings and decide the fate of the story.
The game also features an amazing soundtrack by Bill Kiley.

This is of the best mystery yarns I’ve read/played in ages, with a fun Earthbound-esque visual style and fun chiptune soundtrack. I picked it up thinking I’d just give it a try, and then devoured the entire game in a single day over the course of 5 hours. If I hadn’t already stayed up past midnight, I’d have unlocked the last 4 achievements. Exceptionally written, uniquely designed, and surprisingly moving, this dark tale is a STEAL at $5. If you were interested enough to click on the listing, just buy it. Right now. Do it, you coward.
Why Am I Dead At Sea is the most unique game I've played as of late. The game is a bit rough around the edges, needing some polish to fix bugs here and there (minus the fact the game is almost 10 years old), but its personality and cleverness stands out above its faults. The game does have a lot of reading, but it's worth sticking through for the excellent cast of characters. The dialogue is wonderfully written, and each of their personalities feels realistic and fun. My only other gripe is that at times it felt there were too many dialogue options, which was starting to get tiring by the end. However, that was probably because I was exhausting every option instead of thoughtfully selecting them. If you're a fan of murder mysteries, give this game a go!
Изначально недооценила эту игру, но она и в правду крутая и займет минимум несколько вечеров, очень приятно было погрузиться в маленькие истории, плывущих на корабле пассажиров, спустя пол года вспоминаю эту игру - для меня это хороший показатель)

Not a really fun game. It's buggy and I lost all of my progress because I decided to posses the cat to go the meeting on the second floor. Shame on the dev for not fixing the bugs and releasing this game as it is. I'll admit the writing is excellent in some places with the stock characters. Pity that the bugs ruined my progress. If you're looking for a visual novel though if you're willing to overlook the bugs then you found it.
Very underrated, loved all the characters and getting the endings.
10/10 СУПЕР уникальный нетривиальный детектив, где "в главной роли" все персонажи, отлично прописанные причем. И кот Солнышко. Пойди и разберись, в чем дело!

It's broken. Characters can get randomly, permanently stuck in ways that block access to other parts of the map, and this will completely softlock you. There is no fix, and the dev likely never will resolve the issue.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
