This is why in my opinion, Indie games can make some of the best experiences people can have with the video game. Indie games made to introduce a brand new creative world with great characters as well as put in the effort to make it a great game. They don't feel like they are doing it for money. It feels like they are doing because they have an idea. In conclusion, yes it's worth it. A great game that teaches a difficult lesson to learn, which is to move on and say goodbye. A game where you as the player truly feel connected to others, in a wide world to explore. “Uplifting, sweet, and thoughtful, until that final goodbye, but that’s how so many goodbyes are, aren’t they?”

Heartbreaking game, in a good way. I haven't been in a good spot over the past few years and lately my life has been crambling into small pieces, one thing after another. I sort of lost any hope lately and see no purpose in going forward anymore. I've been finding comfort in the characters this game provides, and it has been helping me to go through things I thought I was not capable of dealing with. It hits a lot of spots, bad ones, good ones. But it's a truly great experience to go through.

this game was so fun and so hard to play, not due to difficulty, but because it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ devastating. i had to quit several times because i had to cry every time i have to let someone go. it tackles death, acceptance and moving on really well. i couldn't bear to finish the game but i pushed through because the core message IS letting go. i'll never forget this game anytime soon and i really don't think i can replay this at all.

This game will break you. Don't let the cozy facade fool you.
From what you've seen of the trailer and images, let me enlighten you of the truth.
You play as the Grim Reaper, and help lost souls by fulfilling final requests and help them find closure before before you fairy them to the other side.
Beyond the story elements, it's a surprisingly well fleshed out resource manager with platformer elements.
I honestly don't know if I'll be able to finish it.
I made it through 3 of the character stories. My 3rd being Alice the grandmother hedgehog.
By the end of her arc I was ugly crying because she reminded me of my grandmother who passed a while back, and is a reminder of the inevitable conclusion for my own mother. I'm sure I won't take the other stories NEARLY as hard, but man. I had to step away after that.
Bravo devs. Bravo. You've made the "souls-like" of tear-jerkers.

I went into this game initially with the wrong mindset... I was not prepared for what came next. I bought it because it was cheap and I was like heck, a building game for a ship? That's kind of cool.
At the start I played it like any other building games and minmaxed the farm and made a bunch of moneys to upgrade, thinking that is how I do well in the game. When eveyone started joining me, the desire to keep making money and building better upgrades for them felt like a challenge. Then everything happened when I took Gwen to the Everdoor for the first time... Then several followed... Atul disappearing broke me, I found Atul quite loud and didn't like him initially, but when he started looking out for everyone and the just vanishing...
I found myself stop tending the farm and I just started chatting to them and helping them process it. Each trip to the Everdoor felt like a heartbreak. But to see them find peace on the last leg felt warm.
Now I know these characters aren't real, but this game has captured essence that made it relatable. And in a way, it has help me process the way I perceived death. I really didn't expect a small singleplayer game I bought during Steam sale to resonate with me that hard. To this day, I still listen to the Last Voyage soundtrack and it makes me think about life and how everything eventually ends, but instead of fear and sadness, I feel warmth.
Thank you for this game
