About the StoryYou punctuation-obsessed uncle has died, leaving your family his house, but leaving you, a mere kid, with his unfinished business. As you follow the clues left by your uncle, you quickly discover that while there's only one way to finish the job, there are several ways to die. An atmospheric parser game with puzzles and portals to hidden worlds. (It's also a thinly-veiled attempt to teach comma rules without feeling "educational.") Game Details |

Ferryman’s Gate strikes me as a very good first game. It’s the only thing on Maycock’s IFDB page so I’m guessing it is the author’s first (though I am sorry if it’s not!). There’s just some things that call out a newbie author: having default responses, not having a description of the player, some weirdness with objects and takeability, having a maze puzzle.
However, there’s also a lot of good polish going on here: the NPCs are nicely implemented, and there’s a lot of them – you have 4 family members, as well as a maid and a butler. The map is large but sparse in details, although the language is always good. And no typos! Which is a very good trait in a game about English grammar.
