What is Hello Goodboy?

This story-focused adventure follows Iko, a boy who reaches the afterlife with no memory of how he got there. You explore with Coco the dog, talk to other souls, help with their tasks, and investigate mysteries using repair skills and Coco's nose. Time is limited, so choosing whom to visit closes off other relationships and leads to different endings.
