Deep & Complex Lore

You are Charon, the mysterious and respected ferryman tasked with bringing the dead into Hades, the underworld. To do so, you take them aboard your trusty boat and ferry them across the endless river Styx. However, your boat has broken down due to ~~your own fault~~ the economy, and you need to come up with another idea to transport those poor souls to their afterlife...
