Play Overview
How to Say Goodbye (2022) is a narrative puzzle game where you interact with the illustrations to help a group of ghosts reach the other side. As you progress you discover the story of a character recently turned into a ghost and lost in an unknown world. Your task is to help them find peace.
Play involves guiding your group of ghosts to the door in each level. You move the scenery on a grid to clear a path, but must account for dark forces trying to prevent them from escaping and blocking the door.
It's like playing in an illustrated children's book. Only here you need to solve the unfolding drama that then tells a story about grief with kindness and sensitivity. You discover the ghosts of the world, still shocked by their recent passing, are trying their best to leave but ultimately are trapped, unless you can help them. Together, you to discover how to mourn and accept their own death so they can move on.
