You've washed up on the shores of the mysterious Howling Isle... an island that filled with the ghosts of its past castaways. Witness madness, obsession, and mystery as you explore their stories, but can you escape the curse of Howling Isle?

This is a short, immersive, storytelling game based on classic Indie games such as "Presentable Liberty". It has multiple endings and randomized elements, so each playthrough is different!

This was made for the Jamsepticeye Game Jam in five days; theme was "Death is an opportunity."

I couldn't collect some of the bottles, even though I kept pressing E. Like there was some kind of collision error or something

it definitely is finicky to pick up the bottles, I think they have to be dead-center of the screen for the collision to register... unfortunately one of those things we didn't have time to iron out between testing and uploading for the jam

UPDATE: We've fixed this
