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.

Something bad is going to happen here. To the people on this ship. I can sense it.
Really cool experience, slowly figuring out the narrative threads - both the overarching murder mystery, but also each person's own stories, personal demons and reasons for acting the way they do. I also love the different views on morality and being alive - with some of the people being optimistic and believing in the good of mankind even in the face of malevolence, while others were deeply pessimistic, or nihilistic. I did basically all the game without looking stuff up - up until the very end, where getting the different endings tripped me up a little bit. But still - really great game.

good
Wonderful narrative, great dialogue. The mystery is surprisingly tense. Character interactions aren't cringe, they are almost organic at times, but sometimes are so overly aggressive and rude that it throws you off a bit. Short and sweet, great game.
Увлекательное и милое детективное приключение на один вечер. Интересный геймплей, в котором нужно расследовать тайну собственной смерти. Любимые пиксели, различные персонажи и необычные механики. В общем, попробуйте, финал вас удивит! Убийца не садовник.
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.
Fun game, I like the story.
awful
Cool game with good characters and story that you'll want to see through. It's held back by a somewhat underwhelming ending, a few stupid puzzles, and annoying bugs (music randomly cutting out, stuck out of bounds). Still worth it tho
Do NOT pass this game over! I was totally blown away by how compelling the characters and central mysteries were. Worth every penny and more.
