The Ferry

In The Ferry, you find yourself thrust into the role of a temporary ferryman during an unexpected crisis, navigating Scotto Bay’s treacherous waters on what was supposed to be a calm evening. Tasked with replacing the regular ferryman who has broken his leg just days before a major festival, your job becomes critically important when a severe storm hits, threatening the safety of the island’s residents. The game challenges you to manage the evacuation process efficiently, requiring quick thinking and strategic planning to load cars, manage the panicked festival-goers, and make multiple trips across the increasingly tumultuous bay.

Navigating Through the Storm

As the storm intensifies, so does the gameplay, combining elements of time management with a high-stress environment that tests your ability to maintain calm under pressure. Each decision you make—from the order in which you load the cars to how you navigate the choppy waters—impacts the success of the evacuation. Communication with the injured ferryman offers some guidance, his voice a constant presence over the radio, providing tips and warnings that help you adjust your strategy in real-time. The game’s setting, a simple bay transformed by the storm into a hostile environment, adds a layer of complexity to each crossing, forcing you to balance speed with the safety of all passengers.
