I like it its original with its idea. I cant really tell but I feel like something is missing, the game might be a lot better if you work on it more.

I like the chill vibe of the rowing section (the sound effects/background ambience is nice). The limited animation + sfx actually carried the presentation side of things pretty far. The main problem I had was with the decision making -- if a spirits intentions were unclear, was there any advantage/disadvantage to taking them or declining them? The optimal strategy seems to be:

  1. Search soul
    1. If bad exorcise
    2. If good accept
    3. Otherwise exorcise to avoid the risk of increasing dark energy? (this only seems to be a minor hit to balance which doesn't really feel problematic when you deliver a bunch of souls to their destinations)

So the majority of the gameplay doesn't really have much choice or engagement from the player other than the searching section. Also there didn't seem to be a clear goal that I was moving towards other than ticking up the distance (I made it over 100m btw). The vibes are definitely there, with some design decisions to encourage more push and pull in the gameplay this could be very interesting. Good job :)

Pretty fun, idea is original and cool. Good job!

The idea is very original although it took me time to understand how the game works, and what to do...

Interesting game... Pressing the row button over and over gets kind of boring, maybe take a different approach with a top down game where you are going down the river, obstacles in the way, and on the shore there are the different people that you can pick up

Interesting game, very varied in gameplay. Also found it soothing. Good job!

The idea is very original, I've never seen anything like it, the art is also very beautiful, I missed some animations but I understand that it's not finished, I really liked the system of searching the soul of the spirit to see if it is good or bad , once I understood that you can follow the sound of heart it became very easy, great idea overall!

It's a bit hard to tell exactly what's going on, but it seems like a fairly original concept.
