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.

Meritevolissimo anche giocato nel 2025. Bassissimo il prezzo per un prodotto di questa qualità.
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.
I played this 6 years ago and still think about it sometimes. A steal for $5.
Es cortito pero entrañable. Los personajes tienen mucho carisma y no son fáciles de olvidar. Es de estos juegos que agradeces meterte a ciegas, aunque solo si te gusta el tema detectivesco y eres hábil uniendo pistas. No es que tenga una dificultad muy elevada pero a veces te puedes llegar a atascar y tener que ir probando a hablar con todos. Lo recomendaría completamente si te llama la atención.
i'm speechless. the entire char cast and the story they make up is heavily reminiscent of one of my own short stories to me actually but this goes far deeper adding in the mystery element to spice things up i am prolly dumb and some stuff might've been obvious tbh but to me it just wasn't. so the intrigue kinda stuck with me till the end. magnificent
awful
Fun game, I like the story.
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
I played this for 5 hours straight. So it's like EarthBound but on steam, right?
IDK HOW TO GET ANY OTHER ENDING OTHER THAN LIVING NIGHTMARE the game is underrated af needs more attention
