How to Say Goodbye

How to Say Goodbye is a narrative puzzle game inspired by picture books. It tells the story of someone recently turned into a ghost, lost in an unfamiliar world full of disoriented spirits, who must help fellow ghosts escape a liminal world and slip free of a mysterious Wizard's grasp.

You move the decor to solve tricky grid-based puzzles and lead the ghosts onward across more than 15 chapters, traveling from your kitchen all the way to the moon. The universe draws on illustration and classics of children's literature, with nods to Tomi Ungerer, Tove Jansson, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and Maurice Sendak.

The game handles grief with kindness and subtlety, asking you to save your friends before they vanish forever, help various characters find peace and mourn their own deaths, and uncover the secret of the Wizard and the Spleens, the misguided spirits that haunt the other side.
