6 itemsAbout the Game
✦ SIN ✦
The dead arrive before you one soul at a time, carrying stories of cruelty, regret, fear, and desperation. Some seek forgiveness. Others believe they deserve none.
Listen carefully. Judge wisely. Your verdict will decide who ascends, who suffers, and who is condemned to something far worse.
✦ TRIAL ✦
Death is searching for a successor.
Behind a quiet desk at the edge of eternity, you are subjected to a strange and unsettling interview to determine whether you are worthy of inheriting the Ferryman’s mantle.
But while you judge the dead, something else is judging you.
✦ FATE ✦
Every choice matters.
The Ferryman’s Trial is a short narrative experience designed to be completed in a single sitting, where your decisions shape humanity’s future, alter the fate of countless souls, and lead to multiple endings.
No judgment is forgotten. No mercy comes without consequence.
