An island has layersĪt the heart of each memory is a memento - an item that's tied to that memory that you need to locate in order to help Sparky find the spirit of your prospect.
It's such a wonderful way of recounting the story of the island and plays on the idea that even after we're gone, we still live on in the memories of those we met. The memories give you insight into the lives of the people of Shelmerston, and with every one I view, I start to get a real feel for the island and its inhabitants. The image is distorted and you have to move it with the ZR button until it lines up properly to keep the story of the memory going. The memory plays out like a story, with the person narrating what happened alongside an illustration that paints a picture of each moment they're describing.
Viewing a memory is like a simple mini-puzzle in and of itself that always works in the same way. Using the ghostly X-ray, you can actually go inside their cranium and watch the memory unfold. If a character has a memory in a particular room, it indicates that a memento can be found in that location.
The lighthouse is split up into different rooms that you view by going up or down, and little thought bubbles appear above a character when they have a memory to share. In order to track the ghost of Noach down, you have to view the memories of those still living who knew Pete in order to find mementos that will help Sparky sniff out the spirit. Brought to life with brilliant voice acting and a delightfully colourful art style, the journey Morris takes me on is a pure joy from start to finish, and with all of its eccentricities and humour, I catch myself smiling more times than I can count throughout. It's a bit like ghostly X-Ray vision, and there's something undeniably satisfying about letting your nosy side thrive by looking inside every object you come across.ĭuring my time playing I Am Dead on the Switch, I'm utterly charmed by its unique quirkiness, which truly sets it apart from anything else. Yes, in the afterlife Morris discovers he has a "slicing" ability that enables him to see inside anything and everything, including the heads of living people to see their memories. In the face of an impending disaster, there's no resting in peace for Morris just yet, but what is a dead man to do? With the spirit of your beloved canine companion Sparky at your side, you set out to find a new custodian to protect the island using your new-found ghostly ability.
