About the game
You are the Majhi, bound to the river. Your work is to carry the dead across. Tonight, several villagers are waiting. That has never happened before.
Original Steam description
You are the ferryman. Your work is to carry the dead across.
At Nirmala's riverside inn, the village is celebrating the annual Nabanna festival. While drinking his cup of khejurer rosh, Saha, a moneylender, collapses. Panic and flames engulf the inn. By the time the fire dies down, eight are waiting at the river’s edge.
Listen to what each of them remember, identify the contradictions, piece together the story, and decide who carries the most blame.
How it plays
Majhi is a side-scrolling narrative game played with the mouse. You are the ferryman. The dead are your work.
Row. Take up the oar and travel deeper along the river. Each stroke brings you closer... or further from the truth.
Talk. Question each soul and hear their account of the night. Their stories overlap, contradict, and leave important details unexplained.
Gather clues. Every conversation leaves you with something. It goes into your journal, which you can open at any time.
Carry them across. When a spirit has finished, hold and drag upward to send them to move on.
Decide. After hearing all eight accounts, complete your theory of what happened and choose who carries the most blame.
