Thanks for playing, as for the questions I honestly prefer letting players try and figure it out.
I see, smart play. Have people actually write their own story with the world already built. I would see it as the townsfolk purposely set up an accident, in order to get the ferryman to stay away. Find a substitute, then sacrifice a already knowing townsfolk in order to keep everything sane. Intriguing. Either way, enjoyable experience.🙏🌹
