  • Cosy

You're a ferrymaster who guides spirits to the afterlife. You expand your boat, grow crops, cook and look after your passengers until the time comes to say goodbye. A tender game about grief with very light management mechanics.

Why play it now

When you want an emotional story without tension: the pace is gentle and each session moves forward some passenger's story.

Who it's for

For anyone looking for a game with heart and pleasant routines. A great fit for people who enjoyed Stardew Valley.

When not to pick it

If today you're not in the mood for a melancholy theme or you want action. Some tasks can feel repetitive.
