The Knowhere Express

The Knowhere Express A GGJ 2022 game by Team "oᴉpnʇs ondersteboven"

GGJ 2022 Theme: Duality

A poetic journey through the afterlife where you help spirits reach their final destination.

A game inspired by the story of the river Styx and its ferryman. In this game you play as the conductor of the knowhere express, a train lost spirits take to their final destination. Your job is to talk to the spirit passengers and find out where they need to go. Some will know exactly what they need, others can be a little vaguer. When you know where to drop them off you hand them a stamped ticket to their final destination. When the train arrives there they will get out of the train.

Can you lead everyone to the right destination or will you doom them for all eternity by dropping them off at the wrong stop?

Controls - (You can find  this info in the book in game as well)
