Digital Ferryman

Desktop file sorting

Digital Ferryman is a retro desktop simulation for PC. You sort files from the hard drives of people who have died, dragging each into a category such as “Important,” “Work,” “Daily,” “Privacy,” or “Destroy.” Your choices subtly affect that person’s “reincarnation evaluation.”

Lives on a hard drive

The files reveal fragments of each person’s life: unsent letters from retired teachers, unedited photos from makeup bloggers, and composite family photos taken by children’s photographers. You organize and archive the files, then choose whether to reincarnate the person.
