Two Spirits At Sea
After "The Incident", friends Humphrey & Jayden have passed away. In the afterlife, they're drifting on a never-ending sea, on a ship that doesn't have a destination. One day, they have the dialogue archived in this game.

This was made for Shufflecomp 2024 & Seedcomp 2025, and features voice acting by James Fagan & Ryan Gaiser. I had been wanting to make a Seedcomp game with this seed, but wasn't sure what to make--that is, until I saw the release of the Public Domain Image Archive. Browsing the archive, I was struck with inspiration, and after looking at a few other Seedcomp seeds, this game was brought to life.
I'm curious what people will think of this project. If you have a moment, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

P.S. This is the 1st of 3 games I will be releasing for Shufflecomp. Please look forward to the other two! I'll also be releasing at least one more game for Seedcomp.

Really liked this! Sweet, intimate dialogue that's further elevated by the audio.
The images confused me at first. The text said "Jayden is on the right", and the picture right afterwards (with a guy on the left and skeleton on the right) made me think he was supposed to be literally a skeleton talking to his human friend. Maybe just a me thing. But overall I thought the images were cool and thematic.
This was great! Loved the voice acting and the choice of images and the overall presentation.
