Land of Ghosts

“A 90-minute game about emotional nihilism and apathy, suicide, frailty of humanity, hopelessness of religion, misanthropy, losing loved ones, feeling disconnected from yourself, loneliness, self-hatred, longing—really just being a depressed human.”

“A truly wonderful, heartbreaking but comforting game for the ill and mad.”

“Even though the psychological narrative is beaten to death in the medium, I still thought the chemistry between the characters was good, and those bonding panels felt very emotional, if not pleasantly edgy at times.”

“The soundtrack and ambience were perfect, complementing a cool and unique story.”

“Immensely beautiful art, music, and writing throughout.”

“The soundtrack is comforting to listen to.”

“The art style compliments the game's message and story very well.”

“I wasn't sure exactly if the "land of ghosts" was meant to be taken as a post-death pocket world, some of the scenery can make it feel a bit surreal, but I suspect that it might be the warped perspective of the character, not ghosts, but either the people that don't matter (represented by shadows), and the few individuals who are in the same boat as you (represented with normal visuals).”

“The atmosphere is great too, with rain and a depressing yet somewhat joy-filled outlook on the world and death.”

“The atmosphere and contents of the story, revolving around depression and death, give this game its own distinct, personal horror.”
