The Ferryman
A downloadable game for Windows
Keep your lantern to your chest, lad. These waters aren't as calm as they may seem...
As the Ferryman, it's your duty to deliver goods and supplies to the denizens of the sea. It isn't an easy job, but it needs doing. The Keepers depend on you, so you'd better get to it. Just remember - the further you stray from the shore, the rougher yet the seas become.
Move with the [arrow keys]. Grab, throw, interact, and repair with [Z]. Keep your engine fueled. Patch up holes in your ship's hull. Listen closely. Accept that you won't be alone.
Contains some mild language.

Quite an experience. The more disturbing & challenging as you progress. I think I'll need another deckhand to help with the boat. :)
This was such a blast and a super well made game! Had so much fun playing it and understanding the mechanics. The storybook-like look really made the atmosphere and world that much deeper and the music, sounds and voice acting, wow, they added so much to the game. It really felt like the player was part of the world and it really was so immersive and fun to play. Really great job on it, this was an amazing game.
This game was a lot of fun. The gameplay was very innovative and kept you on your toes. Greaat job!
Excellent game
After a dozen or so tries, couldn't seem to get past the 9th lighthouse. I think I had the most issues with the flames, there's like 1 flame, you go down come up, extinguish it and by the time you're back there's already a new one. So it repeats like that and you can never seem to keep up with the lightning.
I did enjoy my time with it though and looked forward to reaching each lighthouse & meeting the characters, add an easy mode so I can see the ending :D. I really wanna see it, got really into the story but yeah, couldn't get past the 9th one.
I'm not sure if this intentional or not, but I did beat the 9th lighthouse, after that it was number 9 again. There's like two #9 lighthouses in a row. I thought it was on my end but looks like it's on other people's videos as well. Nice game, I really liked it!
I liked how the ending works. Great game.
Thank you!
