Description

I Am Dead is a charming puzzle adventure game from the creators of Hohokum and Wilmot’s Warehouse about exploring the afterlife.

Morris Lupton is the recently-deceased museum curator of the tiny island of Shelmerston who is reunited with the ghost of his dog Sparky, only to discover that a disaster is about to destroy his beloved island.

Together, they must uncover Shelmerston’s ancient mysteries, prevent the island’s volcano from erupting, and save the place they call home.

Morris and Sparky must unearth a number of Shelmerston's lost and scattered ghosts. To find them, the duo must visit the places they spent time in, dive inside the memories of the people who knew them best, and learn the stories of their lives.

To help with their mission, Morris uses his newfound power that allows him to peer inside objects and people to reveal their contents and memories, like a supernatural X-Ray!

Along the way you will discover many stories about the history and folklore of Shelmerston, and its cast of curious inhabitants and visitors: tourist finches, the fishfolk, morlos, and the Legend of Aggi - the one who originally silenced the volcano...

In solidarity with the original Annapurna team, I don't recommend anything from Annapurna anymore. Their company was completely taken over by corporate stooges, and they hired the usual group of toxic executives to run

Fun simple game. Lots of clicking around somewhat aimlessly. Exploring small objects and small places for memories. Not always the most intuitive. But cute setting and characters. Don't expect anything fast paced or

I struggled to finish I Am Dead. The game felt boring and confusing for most of my playthrough, and I spent a lot of time feeling lost and unsure of what I was supposed to be doing. I also had a hard time connecting

I Am Dead is a gentle, introspective adventure that turns the concept of the afterlife into a warm, imaginative exploration of memory, legacy, and the quiet marks people leave on the world. Developed by Hollow Ponds and

I'd consider this more of an interactive story than a game - the puzzles are on the easier side, I beat the game in under 8 hours, and I don't feel there's a great deal of replayability... ...and yet, I felt more of an
