In The Ferry, you step into the shoes of a temporary ferryman tasked with an urgent duty on Scotto Bay during a critical time. With the regular ferryman sidelined by an injury, and a major festival drawing near, your role becomes vital as a severe storm approaches, threatening the safety of the island’s residents. Your primary mission is to operate the evening ferry, ensuring the safe evacuation of both people and their vehicles from the island to the mainland. As the storm intensifies, so does the pressure of your responsibilities. The gameplay centers around navigating the increasingly treacherous waters, managing the loading and unloading of the ferry, and maintaining communication with the injured ferryman via an old radio that crackles with every shift of the tempest.
