I like Walking Sims. You don't need a lot of effort to actually play these types of games. I would even consider these types of games "cozy" ones since You just have to press WASD, Look Around, Interact, Listen, Read and to some extend figure out what just happened in the world around you. Ghost on The Shore was one of the Walking Sims I didn't play yet and I just needed to chill after games like DOOM 1993 and Counter-Strike Condition Zero Deleted Scenes. I was impressed by the visuals that this game has - Watercolored. I played similar game which looked like this but more cartoonish. The sound design was nothing special but voice acting felt pretty familiar. I think I heard these voice actors before or They might be some different people who did their part on this game. Idk but to me whenever I hear English spoked by natives I just hear same voices over and over. Let's not forget this game has a story and what's the story? You as a player get under a skin of woman called Riley ...

About the Game
Ghost on the Shore is a story exploration game about emotional ties that transcend even death.
You play as Riley, a young woman who finds herself stranded on a desolate island with a headstrong ghost, dead for as long as he can remember.
As you explore the crumbling homes of the vanished islanders and discover their belongings, you get to know the ghost Josh. As you make irrevocable choices in dialogue you shape the bond with him, which ultimately influences the outcome of the game.
As Riley puts it all together, she comes to understand how an island's history has led to Josh' death.
Exploration and Environmental Storytelling
You explore the beautiful scenery of The Rogue Islands on foot. As you do, you talk to Josh about the history of the islands, his memories, his feelings, but also about Riley’s dreams and goals, and why she’s running from her old life.
As a team, you and Josh discover the old islanders’ belongings and uncover the stories behind them. Which creates a specific sense of what life was like on these islands before people started leaving.
Immersive Dialogue
A unique feature that allows the player to make choices in a subtle immersive way. You don't always know how your words will affect the other. Words are powerful tools. Just like in real life, things can become fun, exciting or plain awkward.
Irrevocable Choices
Every dialogue option is shown only once, which makes your choices definite.
Branching Narrative
The relationship you choose to build with the ghost defines the narrative branch you get to explore. There are four branches with a different ending for each.

User Reviews
Definitely a story telling game so it may feel a little slow but it is go good! The art is absolutely beautiful and I was surprised at the end! I love that your choices actually changes the outcome! About to start my third playthrough :)
Good little walking sim story, though if you're a fan of the mystery genre, don't expect any surprises (or maybe I've just seen too many true crime documentaries...) If you're an achievement hunter, the lack of an ability to make manual saves will annoy you until you realize you can easily make backups of the automatically saved data file, in which case, THEN you can restore it to try the various endings. Spoiler alert: [spoiler]the "romantic" ending is not at ALL romantic, it's creepy AF. Yikes.[/spoiler] There's really only one "good" ending: by sheer luck or maybe just being good with my words, it's the ending I got the first time around.
The story is amazingly emotional and the artwork is beautiful.
