You play a soul aboard a ship with a mythical ferryman, who sends you back through memories to learn the story of your life. The first-person narrative visits moments involving family, first love, and creative ambitions.
A webcam can track your real-life blinks: blinking advances the story and can move you past a moment before you are ready. Mouse clicks can be used instead, according to players who tried both options.
Explore each memory and make choices that affect scenes and their outcomes. The story unfolds through short, voice-acted sequences, with the blink-based pacing built into its progression.
Reviewers often praise the story for prompting reflection on life, memories, and family, and say its emotional impact stays with them after playing. Many also appreciate how blinking makes the passage of time part of the storytelling, alongside the voice acting, art, and music. Some players report blurry visual effects, webcam tracking trouble, or blinks skipping moments unexpectedly; a smaller number find the story less affecting.
