River of Souls is my entry for the 48 hour Ludum Dare 29 Competition for the prompt "Beneath the Surface".

You play as the soul of a recently deceased person, dragged to the bottom of the River of Styx ("Beneath the Surface"). You must make your way back to the top (and to your eternal rest) by popping memory bubbles, releasing the memories which are weighing you down. The game is a window into the life of this lost soul, showing random vignette memories from their life.

Trigger warning: Abuse, alcoholism.

The lack of sound is totally an artistic choice and not at all because I ran out of time.

Tools used include:

- Unity 2D

- Inkscape
