"If she ain't, I eat seagull for dinner again," Later on the "gulls" are shown to be the souls of liars. The ferryman is Anubis and Ammit both: he eats the souls of people found unworthy by untruth or injustice, so of course he would appear as something that scared Benny - a coyote like the ones that unjustly ate those kittens. This means the Gatekeeper is Ma'at and Osiris, being a ruler of a "great city" (Osiris) while standing for purity of heart (Ma'at).

This game hit me very hard. It was deeply emotional and the storytelling was just... so beautiful. It's beyond words, really. But after (and during) I have been crying with an incredible feeling washing over me. I can't describe it. You see, my brother was sick. Just like Ben. He stayed inside for a year. He was young, barely 14 years old. He was a big thinker, huge aspirations. He wanted to invent, he wanted to be a comedian, he wanted to be so many things. my mom even pushed him to think into being a lawyer. It was out of love. When he got sick, me and my brother tried to pretend for as long as we could that things were the same. One night, two weeks before he passed, we stayed up late and dreamed of traveling the world together, dreamed of becoming so many things. He wanted to go to college. I said I'd show him mine once I was there. We talked all night. We dreamed. Then, he was gone. And we weren't able to do any of those things together. But the life we lived together, growing up from one house to the next, living with our parents' loving and strict expectations, and spinning life into laughter, it was enough. More than most ever have. I miss him. I'll always miss him. This game made me think of him so fondly. So, this is my long winded way of saying thank you, to the developers and the uploader. Thanks for the beautiful story. Edit: Oh wow. It's been a year since I wrote this comment, since I watched this game play, and I just felt like coming back to it. I didn't realize how many people would resonate with my story. I'm still so grateful something like this exists because grief can feel (and has felt) so lonely and overbearing. But I'm glad I get to remember him in ways like this. I hope you're all doing okay. And that the pain you may be feeling for anyone you may have lost or even the pain you may be experiencing because of the impact of this game's story (which still hits so close to the chest) is just a reminder of love everlasting ♡

Im not sure why everyone is hating on the mother. Her character is very real in my opinion. This is someone who grew up with so much expectations on her and ended up not reaching it, just like Benny. Her telling Benny that he's enough as he is in the end was likely also something she would have loved to hear from her father. She's not a perfect character but I dont find her annoying or badly written. She was just human.
@writebymorning32983 жыл бұрын
I had these exact same thoughts. She wasn't perfect. She's human. And you could see her deep love for him. Her expectations manifested in the way she knew how to show them. She wanted the best for him and she saw so much in him. Those expectations got away from her, almost blinding her. But she realized that wasn't as important as she thought. That he was enough as he was. If that makes any sense. Honestly, her revised story she read to him at the end was the thing that made me feel the most awash with emotion. That she reassured him that his life was enough, letting go of those large earthly expectations. God, I just love how that was explored in this game.

I think on the first part of the story, without knowing that the grandfather died, its implied by the choices that you can make like crumpling and throwing the music sheet, that she was supposed to be imposing borderline annoying. On the second part though, when you learn that she only rushed you when her father died without acknowledging her shows her regret and as a mother, she does not want her child to have the same fate as her, having regrets about your life and not meeting the expectations of people you care about and she wanted her child to live pursuing his talent while he is still young so he wont end up like his mother who loves music but had to be an accountant for her family.

I still remember the panic. The sound of family members rushing to call 911. The sound of the my younger cousins asking "Is Aunt Laura ok?" Me being sent to my room as everyone else witnessed liver cancer kill her. The shock spreading through me once I realized what happened. The fear. The scream that came out. Clinging to my brother for dear life. The sobbing. Then I realized I'd never see her at my birthday parties ever again. She'd never meet any boyfriend's or husbands. She'd never meet any grandkids. The thing that scares me the most is the fact that I'd never see her smile again. Only in pictures that bring me pain.

it actually probably is significant, because it foreshadows what will happen near the end of Benjamin’s life. in the beginning, Elle explains “eleven years from now, that plant will die so it will give birth to this tall amazing tree covered in flowers.” Benjamin was the same age before he passed. it also appears again, when the Ferryman forces Benjamin’s soul to tell the truth, and he remembers his parents’ conversation about him possibly failing after he becomes ‘sick’, and he sleeps on the beach that night. the same coyotes who killed Ernie’s kittens reappear howling right beside the agave plant

I see the ghost of him lingering in the form of pictures, the cards from his funeral, the numbers of his birthday in my parents’ online usernames, the haunted look in their eyes every February (the anniversary of his death, and also my birth month, which makes things hard sometimes) and November (his birth month).

The agave at the very beginning is almost a metaphor for Benny's life. It starts off small, insignificant. But, when it dies (synced with when Benny died), it gives birth to something truly beautiful. In Benny's case, after his death the truly beautiful thing was his life story itself, how even though his life was short, it was just as meaningful as someone's who had lived for 70 years.

I don't know why but I keep rewatching the end where the mother talks about what she thought of Benjamin, everyday for the past week. And I cried every time, still do. Even if it was a beautiful scene, I never thought I would be so emotionally attached to it. You see, I grew up in a similar situation, in a demanding home where my parents expected me to get good grades in school, help around the house, be the perfect kid you know. I'm sure many can relate. So I guess, hearing those words, unexpectedly broke me. I never wanted someone to say those exact words back to me so much before. For someone to be proud and accepting of me, *because* of me. I hope one day my parents would say something like that. Or anyone that has known me for a long time really. But yeah. I have to thank everyone who made this game possible because everything was simply amazing about it. And thanks for reading if you've gone this far. :)

At 1:29:15 I have not seen a comment talk about it yet. The mother repeating to the father how she “cant breathe”. You can see it as a way the mom has tried to put on a brave face all along knowing how the end was going to play out. In Bennys final moments the mother’s mask finally breaks as in between shakey breathes and deep sighs she struggles to state that she cant breathe. I love that emotion the game maker added in.

34:50 the professor talks about Anubis and Ma’at the goddess of truth & justice and Ammit who devours the deceased that don’t pass judgement. Anubis has the head of a jackal or African wolf, so if he’s the ferryman it would make sense. The theme of truth and Justice with the birds makes sense as they can be representing Ma’at as she has wings too. I’m guessing the lecture really stuck with him and influenced his idea of the afterlife.

I hope we see more of this mechanic in the future, and I really hope GoodbyeWorld Games can create another amazing game within a few years time that can be as amazing or innovative as this.

I actually couldn’t stop crying. It personally hit me so profoundly. Ironically enough, I was hospitalized at 10 for a few months. It wasn’t cancer but I could relate in a scary way. My dad worked overseas and was actually on his plane when my mom broke him the news. He stayed in the hospital room with me throughout and was deeply caring. They always tried keeping a positive undertone. Nonetheless, I still felt the underlying darkness of what going on. There I was, stuck in a bed with a chance I won’t wake up the next day. One time I sat there and thought I wouldn’t grow up, be as physically big as the “Ideals” I so respected. As foolish as it sounds now, thats what I wanted back then. I was also terrified of what I would leave my parents. Id imagine the actions of my parents had I died, the grief I would impose on them. Im having a hard time writing this. Its probably unwise of me to write personal stories here but I suppose its somewhat therapy to me.

When I was very young, my mother signed me up for piano lessons. She always wished she hadn’t given it up when she was younger, so sometimes she’d be tough on me and force me to practice. Later on in life, I’m now a VFX and Motion Design artist. But, I still play piano every day. Never for anyone, really. Just for myself. And I am so, so grateful for my mother every day. I also got real sick with Pneumonia when I was young. Sometime around 5th grade, I think. Looking back, that near death experience really changed me early on. This game had just a few too many things that I really related to. It got me good. Just got done crying my eyes out.

This game hit close to home. I’m a senior in high school and just last week I had the realization that I’ve grown up. I’m going to a college two hours away in a few short months and I’ll go from seeing my family everyday to once every few months. The idea that my childhood is over and my life as I know it is about to change forever is so bittersweet. I have responsibilities now: a job, a driver’s license, a debit card. My life and choices now make a bigger impact and I have to strike out on my own in that wide world. No longer will I hold my mom’s hand in parking lots, or be read bedtime stories. No longer will I lie awake on Christmas Eve for the sound of sleigh-bells, nor go door to door on Halloween. I sometimes wonder where the time went, I could’ve sworn that yesterday I started kindergarten. Eighteen birthdays slipped by so fast. But I can find solace in the fact that I grew up loved, encouraged and taken care of. It was a good childhood, I’ll miss it.

Benny wanted to hide the truth of the kittens while the storyteller made him remember it to show that the truth will set him free.That or the gatekeeper just wanted bennys storyteller to be the one thing he feared most, which probably were coyotes because of what they did. Just to show him he should have no more fears as he is in a better place now and that he could have trusted them with his literal soul.

This story reminds me of a KZbinr known as Kitty0706. He was a kid that made a whole generation laugh with his comedic animating style. He grew a large fan base as well as made many friends in the animating community. Everyone talked about him in high regard, about how he was kind and would teach fellow animators some of his techniques. Sadly, as everyone who recognizes that name knows, he died of cancer shortly after he grew to fame on this platform. It devastated everyone he knew, and a bundle of kids like myself who watched his videos. This game reminds me of his story, about a child who was gifted in the arts but died before their time. I don’t have anything to really say about this though, no advice or a lesson to teach. Just, I don’t want people to forget, and if you never knew about him, I wanted you to know.

I cannot imagine the pain, anguish, and suffering something like that must put a parent through. When you become a parent you children are all that matter, you would without question take the place of your child. And to make matters so much worse to know your child is going to die and have to put on a facade as if everything is going to be okay in front of them. I thank the Lord everyday for my children, and it's the exposure to those who have lost their children so young that has completely changed the way I spend time with my own. This game is deeply saddening, and my heart goes out for any child or parent that has gone through anything like this.
