Ferryman's Obol

Ferrying the dead

Ferryman’s Obol is a narrative incremental game for PC about carrying the dead across the River Styx. You choose which souls to ferry, hear their stories one crossing at a time, and contend with the river as you complete your labor. There’s no combat or fail state.

Souls and upgrades

Souls are always coming. Most carry obols, which you gain with each crossing and spend on upgrades to make the work easier. Some souls carry nothing, but showing them mercy can earn whispers that unlock abilities through a second upgrade path.
