About The Game:
Step into the mystical world of Twilight Ferry, a narrative-driven, cozy adventure inspired by Finnish mythology. Guide Tytti, a young Ferrymaiden, as she navigates the Twilight Forest—a place shrouded in secrets, where lost souls linger, and a dark, mysterious force seeks to drain her willpower and emotions.
You are Tytti’s only guardian, your choices will shape her journey. Explore beautifully haunting environments, uncover ancient truths, and piece together the forgotten past. Along the way, you’ll confront not only external enemies but also the depths of Tytti’s own emotional struggles.
Engage in emotion-driven puzzles, where your understanding of language, music, and emotions will unlock new paths and hidden truths. Test your wit and resilience in spell-singing battles—songs of power that clash in a fight for willpower, where words hold the ultimate strength.
Twilight Ferry is a tale of discovery, empathy, and strength.
Will you help Tytti find her way, or will she be consumed by the shadows?

There is a lot to like here and I enjoyed it. It felt like an intuitive game with interesting theme and stories and an engaging gameplay mechanics.
Some thoughts:
A: Bug? Is the game actually supposed to close when I enter the boat? It does not for me but the dialogue gave me the impression it would. There is a available dialogue if I press "E", but I can also move in the world and get away from it. I hear sounds but everything is black. There did not seem to be a difference depending if I finished the game or if I did it immediately from the start.
Edit: Not a bug, black screen is normal.
B: Inconsistent dialogue. If I defeat the cone-head and head back to Väinö, he still talks about there being someone at the shore, which isn't true anymore. It's not a big thing but something I noticed.
C: Inconsistent hitboxes. I can't walk through trees but I can walk through rocks and some other things like the buildings next to chanterelles, the big tree with the mom and the characters. I would prefer that either everything stops me or nothing does, now it feels like I need to guess.
D: Some artistic choices. Personally I feel like the water "updates" too quickly, I would make it slower. Perhaps the grass also. The game felt also a little too dark in the end, but maybe I would find it fitting after more playtime.
E: The inclusion of emotional things was very very nice. The word play seems great. The music puzzle was good but it took a little bit of time to understand. Nice art, nice characters. Maybe Marjukka could have a visible kantele in the small dialogue picture also, I think it would be a good addition since it is an important object.
Good job and thanks :)
And please wishlist us on Steam if you haven't done so :D

Have a lovely day <3
The demo intrigued and delighted me with its fresh approach on familiar genres. I loved the otherwordly vibe of the world, and the sneak peek into the bigger plot and cast of characters. I'm very interested to see what the journey to the other side will end up looking like.
Some general positives:
Things that can still be improved:
