How to Say Goodbye

Step into the afterworld as a newly formed ghost, lost in a liminal realm where disoriented spirits wander. How to Say Goodbye is a narrative puzzle game that places the power of movement at your fingertips. The core mechanic is world manipulation: you rearrange decor, shift walls, and reposition objects to alter the space itself. Each adjustment reshapes the environment, opens new routes, and reveals memories that guide the characters toward the next stage of their journey.

Progress unfolds across more than 15 chapters, guiding you from intimate, domestic scenes into expansive, otherworldly spaces—from a familiar kitchen to the distant moon. The puzzles are grid-based and grounded in thoughtful spatial logic. You’ll unlock pathways by carefully placing furniture, opening doors, and aligning elements to create bridges, blocks, or hidden passages. The world reacts to your actions, turning what seems ordinary into a conduit for aid and escape.

The game’s visuals and mood draw on a rich tradition of illustration and classic children’s literature, weaving influences that nod to Tomi Ungerer, Tove Jansson, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and Maurice Sendak. Expect tender, evocative imagery with expressive characters and scenes that feel both whimsical and intimate. The art direction supports a quiet, reflective atmosphere perfect for a story about saying goodbye.

At its heart, How to Say Goodbye treats grief with kindness and subtlety. You are tasked with saving your friends before they disappear forever, offering them a chance to move on. As you guide each spirit, you’ll encounter a variety of characters whose memories and wishes illuminate themes of loss and reconciliation. Your puzzle-solving care becomes a form of empathetic support, helping them mourn their own deaths and find peace.

A central thread follows a mysterious Wizard who looms over the liminal world, as well as the Spleens—the misguided spirits that haunt the other side. Unraveling the Wizard’s secret and understanding the Spleens’ restless energy creates a driving narrative that intertwines with your environmental puzzles. The story invites reflection on what it means to let go and how companionship endures beyond life’s boundaries.

How to Say Goodbye blends thoughtful puzzle design with heartfelt storytelling. The act of moving the world becomes an invitation to care for others, to witness their grief, and to support their journey toward closure. It’s a gentle, emotionally resonant experience that rewards patience, imagination, and a compassionate approach to saying goodbye.
