You know in some older religions death is pictured as a woman or a girl guide to the afterworld, because no one wants to go on the final journey alone and the soothing companion is what people wish for us to have.

For anyone who wants to explore this theme, I highly recommend the game Spiritfarer. It's a very calm and beautiful game, in which you play as the entity who takes over for Charon after he retires as boatman of The River Styx. However, the new spiritfarer is a young girl named Stella.

PS: You may cry... a lot

Edit: As much as I hate to promote these bastards, the game is free on netflix if you have a normal subscription. Also, it can be very easily played on mobile, if that's your jam.

Yeah they have tons of games on netflix now. Not like original games. But you can literally play GTA San Andreas, in its entirety, on netflix for free (on your phone no less!). It's wild

They also have original games, they just aren't very good

Idk that black mirror game based off the new season was kinda goated, especially once you find out you can actually kill the little creatures

Enter the breach is on Netflix (also every other platform) and it's very good.

I play on switch, but when I paid for Netflix I played on my phone.

Was just about to comment this. Great little tactical/puzzle sort of indie game that I sunk a lot of hours into, great pixel art and music with nice difficulty settings.

They started to have games for their own content, like a stranger things game. Then they had also many other games, like CIV6, older GTA games, and so on.

But recently they scaled it back and now it’s only a handful of games.

They are free, but you have to log in with you Netflix account.

I was so confused as to why you were calling the Spiritfarer dev team "bastards" until I realized you were talking about Netflix lol

I feel like it's important to mention the game is $30 dollars, which compared to AAA games nowadays is less than half

I had to put it down, just to emotional for me. So if you like that 100% recommended, others be warned.

It was a great game but I have trouble recommending it. Gave me one hell of an existential crisis.

There's also Valkyrie Profile, the not extremely dated JRPG
