--------------------------------
A short experimental game created in 12 days.
You are the caretaker of a graveyard at world's end. Each day, five spirits show at a random grave on the plot. Only two may be freed from this world.
Your choices in this world do not matter.
--------------------------------
Although I have only provided a Windows build, it works perfectly on Linux with Proton. I also completed it on Steam Deck, if you have one of those.
--------------------------------
CONTROLS:
WASD - Movement
Shift - Sprint
Mouse - Camera control
Left click - Interact
Bugs are likely, if you encounter any, let me know and I will do my best to fix them.
--------------------------------
Known issues:
- Sometimes, buttons may not show for spirits. I do not know why atm, but I am working on a fix. If the buttons do not show, you unfortunately have to restart the game. Though, this does not seem to be a common issue. <- This should be fixed by patch 1.01. Please let me know if it happens to you!

Pretty relaxing. Game was a vibe to play contrary to the elephant in the room that the caretaker will have to face. Keep up the cool video games
its very rich, feels like a much grander backstory awaits us, and we get snippets of it from each conversation, slowly revealing the state of the world.
cool art for the sky as well, i looked up and stared at it for like 5 mins straight
I will be playing this live tomorrow 4/26 around 6PM EST =D.
I really enjoyed this game! I really like how even though you know that your choices dont matter, every choice you make still hits hard.
Thank you for playing!!
LOVED IT, especially the spooky dialogue :D !!! very atmospheric very cool!!!
Thank you for playing!
