I really liked this game! The art was so spooky and cozy as well as the soundtrack! And his voice matched his design perfectly. Wonderful work! :)
This was very charming! I loved the characterization of the Guide, and the voice acting was fun to listen to! If you were ever to expand the story further, I would love a chance to learn more about him, and perhaps even bring him a book or two!
This was absolutely delightful! Fantastic work--I adored getting to know our Guide, and enjoyed our chat immensely. Boo to budget cuts and bureaucracy; long live the unalive Ferryman!
Ah death being a disgruntled old man is always a fun trope to read and enjoy, great story and art!
