Simple rules, powerful experience!

Small game, but very interesting. I really like the mechanism of "shared responsibility" and "rotating roles" of the ghost, locations and NPCs.  Simple rules, that can create a powerful experience.

Our story was a maybe a bit different, we played it a bit more like a whodunnit case, and focused a bit less on the "moving-on" aspect (but not entirely).  Ended up with a very interesting story, rich and vivid main character and supporting roles and a beautiful, haunting and tragic story of an accidental death caused by good intentions. And when we finished, we had a long discussion about the possibilities how to play this game and new angles to explore. 

Truly a very nice and thought provoking game which I´d like to revisit again (even if the game says Never play this game again, which in my opinion would be a pity).

Also, loved the idea of burying the ghost into a book. Nice touch.
