I absolutely adore the artwork. From the spooky skull trees, to the dudes drowning, to the little ghosts hanging out on inflatable rafts, this game has CHARM. I love every bit of it.

I recorded myself playing this game, and it was on an ultra-wide monitor so I ran into a some issues. I played it a little bit before the deadline, perhaps you still have time to address the menu's being cut off in ultra-wide?

All around ,marvelous work, especially managing a team of this size! Congrats on the entry.

A truly genre defying souls-like game with state of the art graphics that won't leave you dissapointed.

Very Nice Game, I like it

An impressive entry given such short time span, I personally can't believe this was made this quickly. I hope you to win, pretty fun sometimes buggy but worthy of honor.

A very entertaining game. It reminds me of the old internet games I used to play long time ago with my sister.
I really liked the design of the ghosts. Nice job artists ;).

love the art style! fun game~

It's very entertaining and the artwork is great! I enjoyed playing it so much, keep up the good work!!!

There are some things that only videogames can do. For me, Ferryman Of The Underworld' predecessor, Ferryman Of The Underworlds predecessor, was emblematic of all of them. Where most games do their best to be something else – to tell a story like a novel, to impress with cinematic techniques like a film – Ferryman Of The Underworlds predecessor is pure game, a complete and darkly fascinating vision that makes no concessions to the modern conception of how games should be. Instead, it was an exploration of how games could be; how bleak, how twisted, how focused and – most famously – how challenging. Most developers take pains to protect you from failure. FROM Software turns it into an artform.

Ferryman Of The Underworlds is the next step along that path. Like Ferryman Of The Underworlds predecessor, it is a brutal and demanding third-person action-RPG set in a world full of monstrous, disturbing things that are trying their hardest to end your life as quickly as possible. Using whatever weapons and armor you can scavenge, buy or forge, the challenge is to inch your way through this damned and deadly place, now and then coming across gigantic bosses that take especial valor and tenacity to kill. The eventual aim is to make it out alive, but there are about 50-60 hours of creative cruelty between you and that goal.

You will die, a lot. You will die on the end of a sword, on the edge of an axe, crushed by a boulder, impaled on fangs; you will be poisoned, eaten, stabbed, assassinated and pushed off cliffs. Death is everything in Ferryman Of The Underworlds. It's education, it's progress, it's the recurring stylistic and thematic motif that runs through all of its spectacularly varied, decaying and depraved environments. The first thing that you have to understand about this game is that survival is in itself a tremendous accomplishment. It can be punishing, cruel, sadistic and uncompromising. It can also be the purest, most thrilling adrenaline rush in gaming – it can take over your life and reward you like nothing else can. Exactly because your chances of success are so slim, each victory feels monumental.
The way that magic works has changed since Ferryman Of The Underworlds predecessor, making it much more difficult to rely on it as an easy way out and forcing you to engage with the heart-in-mouth, up-close melee combat. Instead of a magic bar, you get a certain number of casts for each spell each time you rest at a bonfire – powerful Pyromancy or life-saving Miracles will usually be limited to just a few uses. Magic is as relevant to the game as ever, but it's no longer a cheap-and-easy, rechargeable long-range option. Sooner or later, especially in the boss battles, you're going to have to wade on in there with an axe and risk your hide up close.

Verdict:
The reviewer's job is difficult when it comes to a game like Ferryman Of The Underworld. I simply can't unreservedly recommend that you buy it. It's not a game that you play to relax. It doesn't care in the slightest about whether you're enjoying yourself, and it doesn't give a fig for your notions of entertainment or your mental well-being. If you just play games for fun, this isn't for you, and no amount of insistence on my part is going to change that. But if you're interested in the limits of the videogame form – to see just how focused, how pure and how uncompromising in its vision a game can be – Ferryman Of The Underworld is unmissable. If you take the time get into Ferryman Of The Underworld' mindset, to begin to understand the twisted way in which it operates and taste the rewards behind its cruellest challenges, this is one of the most thrilling, most fascinating and most completely absorbing experiences in gaming.

god

Music on the web version is a bit saturated, anyways game is fun to play, nice job!

Great art and fun gameplay!

The art is cute. Gameplay is not particularly interesting but works well enough. Audio is fine. There have been a lot of ferrying-the-dead games in this jam, but that's understandable because it's evidently one of the more compelling ways of interpreting the theme, so no complaints there. Good work overall.

Great work! I love this game ❤️

good game tu burn some time! <3

Amazing art, the atmosphere was amazing! Really good game!<3

Nice game, felt it was too rng heavy and there was way too many situations where it was impossible to avoid damage due to the size of the boat and the frequency that the obstacle showed up

Lovely little game. Adorable graphics and the music was perfect. Well done!

Great art, great music, great atmosphere! It was a bit difficult to tell where the objects' colliders were, but they did seem to be very lenient, which is good. The volume slider, at least in the web version, didn't seem to function at all. Overall it was the really cool and original concept of setting and a great visual whole that set this game apart for me. Good work!

This game was really quite enjoyable and I also really liked the background characters and thought the souls were very cute.

Really simple and enjoyable, which is the most important thing for a jam game. Only problem I have with it is that sometimes the obstacles would spawn in a way where I physicaly can't dodge them. Overall, pretty good.
