You must speak to the dead and uncover their forgotten names before the Worm consumes her.
Featuring art by Lirio Ninotchka, the art director of I DID NOT BUY THIS TICKET, players will explore the the cemetery, the City within the City. You’ll interact with its denizens and unique sepulchral art, investigating clues left by the dead, uncovering their names, and naming them so they can finally be cremated.
All the while, you must deal with the Worm, which will overtake your words. You must burn matches to purify your dialogue choices, or allow him to get ever closer.
