Build a home aboard your boat, cook for spirit passengers and travel with them before saying goodbye. This management game includes themes of death, physical disability, mental illness and suicide.
What makes it fun
The routines stay after goodbye
Cook a passenger's favorite food, fix up their room, and listen to their stories. After you see them off, their room remains aboard, making their absence felt in everyday life on the ship.
Fit the ship together
Rooms and workshops have different shapes, so fitting them onto the ship feels like a small puzzle. Their placement also affects how easily you can move around aboard.
