I Am Dead is an adventure puzzle game created by the combined forces of Hollow Ponds studio and indie developer Richard Hogg. The game allows us to "become" the spirit that is trying to save his home.
The collaboration between the Hollow Ponds studio and the artist Richard Hogg has resulted in the I Am Dead adventure puzzle game. The game tells the story of the museum curator on the small island of Shelmerston, who is trying to save his house from destruction. There's only one problem - Morris Lupton, because that's the name of the protagonist, is a ghost.
In I Am Dead, we "become" the spirit of the museum curator, Morris Lupton. But we are not allowed to enjoy the eternal peace. As an ethereal being, we see more than others, and we are the first to see the danger lurking on our home island of Shelmerston - a volcanic eruption. Our task is to learn the long forgotten secret of how to protect our home from a cataclysm.
As a spirit, Morris Lupton has supernatural powers that allow him to illuminate people and objects. This allows us to find out what is hidden in the building without entering it, or to know the memories of the person in front of us. These skills are used to solve puzzles waiting for us in the game.
I Am Dead is a single player game.
I Am Dead has simple, yet charming, colorful graphics. At first glance, there are similarities in the graphics between this game and the Hohokum. No wonder, since the same artist Richard Hogg worked on both games.

Game Ratings for I Am Dead Video Game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 7.5 / 10 by Rebecca Smith
I Am Dead is a hidden object game where players can get as much or as little out of it as they wish. Those following the story will find a short but simple game, perhaps too simple for some. The secondary objectives add more to do but seem like a compromise to keep adventure veterans entertained seeing as they carry very little reward. Away from the gameplay, I Am Dead dances around the raw emotions of death but deals with its impacts in a pleasant way. All living things must come to an end but memories can live on and have an impact on the future. Whether this game will be remembered in the future remains to be seen.
Critical Hit: 8 / 10 by Noelle Adams
I Am Dead is a deceptively charming and emotionally potent experience. It's hard not to be won over by its good spirit and intricate, lovingly crafted world. Despite its simple gameplay and heavy dose of eccentricity, it's a tender reflection on ordinary lives, death and the power of memory. A game that will linger in the memory.
GameSpot: 7 / 10 by Alessandro Barbosa
I Am Dead's personal tales and charming setting make it a touching exploration of life after death.
