Cozy Necromancy

Cozy Necromancy is a gentle mystery about a village that cannot let go of its dead. You are a journeyman necromancer, freshly graduated and posted to Willowmere on your first assignment. The spirit waypoint beneath the village, the Moonwell, was sealed thirty-five years ago, and the dead have been collecting behind it ever since. None of them are hostile. All of them are stuck. There is no combat in this game. You cannot fight a ghost into peace. Listen firstEvery bound spirit is a person with an unfinished sentence: a twin who blames herself for a fire, a knight who kept the wrong oath, a hedge witch the village burned and later thanked.

You travel with them, watch what they react to, read the archive someone misfiled, and ask the living about the things they would rather not say. The ritual is an argumentWhen you think you know what binds a spirit, you say it with objects: three items placed in the ritual circle.
