Also, you are dead.

With each combination of characters leading to a different interaction based on their relationship or chemistry, your challenge is to find the interactions that will reveal pertinent information. Understand what makes your shipmates tick, and uncover the secrets that they hold.

Thanks to the recommendation from the YouTuber NitroRad, I bought & played this game and really enjoyed it. The mechanic of controlling other people as a ghost and getting more characters and abilities over time is really cool. The story really hooked me and playing through it, I always wondered who the culprit is. Besides the charming art style, the chip-tune music is also so good that I have some tracks on my Spotify. I really wish the developer of this game will do another game after this one was so good.
When the dialogue was specifically written to indicate how the white character wasn't quite pronouncing the chinese character's name correctly (due to English not having that consonant) I knew the writing was the real stuff. Great story.
Decent mystery game. Possess people, talk to other people, investigate surroundings. Investigation and mystery solving is complicated by the existence of 2 different modes of possession, which will alter the dialog options available. Also the kind of game you might want to take notes for, as you have to often remember and follow a chain of interactions between people based on what they learn to make progress.
Really cool experience, slowly figuring out the narrative threads - both the overarching murder mystery, but also each person's own stories, personal demons and reasons for acting the way they do. I also love the different views on morality and being alive - with some of the people being optimistic and believing in the good of mankind even in the face of malevolence, while others were deeply pessimistic, or nihilistic. I did basically all the game without looking stuff up - up until the very end, where getting the different endings tripped me up a little bit. But still - really great game.
Good story, good mystery.
good
