The music also helped set the mood and gave the game a really calm and nostalgic feeling. It really helped add to the story and give each character personality, especially the main characters Morris and Sparky. I’m not sure how I would’ve reacted if I had not been able to hear what Morris and the others sounded like. The dialogue and voice acting really helped the games pacing and kept me interested. The whole game felt like one giant Easter egg. Objects in the game also connected characters to other characters, making the Island feel connected and not sectioned off into parts. It amazed me how I could search for things and learn more about the Island and find items within items. Early in the game, you can also look through holes to find foxes sleeping and hiding away with stolen objects. It was pretty funny finding a toaster with toast under a chair and even a nose to a statue hidden in layers of bushes. For example, if you were looking in a cooler to find an object, there would be items in the cooler like drinks and food. The objects that you could find would also be tied into the stories of the residents too. I Am Dead’s attention to detail was also something that pulled me in. They were each unique in their way, much like the game. The characters also felt real even though one of them is a Fish Person and their stories even had me tearing up at times, especially Ogden and Sam’s stories. Although we don’t get to see first hand how these characters behaved or what they were like while they were alive, we do get to learn about them and their stories through others that remembered them. He also can look into the memories of residents and find the locations of mementos so that Sparky can sniff and find the ghost they are looking for.Ī few of my favorite characters that are introduced to you are Valerie, Ogden, and Sam. The only way I can properly describe it, is as if you were taking an X-ray machine and using it to look through things to find clues that you need. Morris can break down objects that he finds and look through them. The overall goal of the game is to journey through Shelmerston with Sparky as your guide and find someone who has passed on and who will become the new Custodian to save Shelmerston.Īs you play as Morris, you learn about the dead residents of Shelmerston in a very unique way. The Volcano on the Island is about to explode because the Custodian who keeps it from erupting is tired and needs to pass on and go West. One day after he has passed on he finds his dog, Sparky, who tells him that Shelmerston is in great danger. I Am Dead is a puzzle adventure game on the Nintendo Switch that has you playing as a man…well a ghost…named Morris Lupton who is of course dead and once owned a museum on his home Island, Shelmerston, to show his love for his home. But after experiencing I Am Dead by Hollow Ponds and Richard Hogg, it’s words that I would love to hear others talking about! I Am Dead are probably words that you’d never hear yourself say or want to hear.
