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.

A really fun sequel! I adored the original game, and this was a great continuation.
Great mystery game with an intricate story. It's like clue, but you're solving your own murder!
Я ожидал от этой игры всё, что получил: завораживающий сюжет, интересную детективную историю, раскрытие персонажей и отличную атмосферу с музыкой! Если вы ценитель сюжетных пиксельных игр, которые цепляют именно историей и исследованием, а не экшеном и боёвкой, как в RPG, то эта игра вам идеально подойдёт. Думаю, если вам понравились игры вроде OneShot или Undertale, то стоит опробовать и эту. Очень советую.

Yeah, it's pretty good.
Decent mystery game. Possess people, talk to other people, investigate surroundings. Investigation and mystery solving is complicated by the existence of 2 different modes of possession, which will alter the dialog options available. Also the kind of game you might want to take notes for, as you have to often remember and follow a chain of interactions between people based on what they learn to make progress.
Something bad is going to happen here. To the people on this ship. I can sense it.
Thanks to the recommendation from the YouTuber NitroRad, I bought & played this game and really enjoyed it. The mechanic of controlling other people as a ghost and getting more characters and abilities over time is really cool. The story really hooked me and playing through it, I always wondered who the culprit is. Besides the charming art style, the chip-tune music is also so good that I have some tracks on my Spotify. I really wish the developer of this game will do another game after this one was so good.
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.
Shockingly good and dark, probably my favorite mystery game I’ve played so far that really rewards you and puts forth a strong effort to both surprise but guide you to the correct answer. I can almost imagine this starting as an ‘Earthbound but for adults’ idea for how real it’s wiling to make moments, the sadness it’s willing to explore. For it’s cute aesthetic and art, a haunting isolation was quite to grip me as I played and wouldn’t let go until all was over. My only complaint being the lack of closure that came in most ending in regards to the main character. But don’t let that steer you away from excellent experience.
Jeu d’enquête super, avec des personnages bien écrits et touchants. Dommage que ça ne soit pas plus connu !
