Update: Now the game has been out a month and someone has 100%'d the game - congratulations anxKha - a full unlock save is available at https://drive.google.com/file/d/12Imu5lMw8ofEVRj75q6rvQMYFxFZMDDI/view to allow those who are interested in playing certain parts of the game but rightfully are not interested in doing it all. Extract this to %localappdata% and it should create a 'TheFarewellMedley' folder with the save information.
The Farewell Medley is a huge, adventure game heavily focused on variety and inspired by I wanna be the Farewell, and other things. The ultimate goal being to both bring together a taste of everything fangames have to offer, and trying a lot of new things to see what else might or might not work. While we believe it is best to go in with no real knowledge or expectations, that can be a big ask. For those who like to know a little regarding content/difficulty This is a non-linear variety focused adventure game - so there is a very wide array of gameplay and you should expect to have to play a lot of irregular or non-fangame gameplay. If you like wacky things, this is largely the core of the game. If you like the straightforward traditional fangame experience, this probably won't be. The estimated difficulty from the team is maybe 50 with items (honestly lower if you go hard and find all the crazy strats), and perhaps 75 without. Item usage is very much part of the game, so if you're interested but feel like it might be too difficult, do not feel like items are in any way cheating. Additional information is available in the readmes to help you tailor your playthrough slightly.
Update:
Current Version: 1.5 - Minor bugfixes, added infinite street challenge + some discarded content.
As the filesize is quite large, in order to facilitate updates, the following link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EVwkOa8itnoZAdUqRSK7cCGU8ueaxRUZ/view only includes the exe/datafile updates and is substantially smaller.
I hope everyone continues to enjoy and be confounded by this game, and as always, please continue reporting any problems that arise via discord if possible.

"The Farewell Medley is a large adventure game", that's pretty much the only comment written by Kurath on this page when the game was first released. It was such a simple sentence that served as an invitation to the public, and we had no idea how much of a looming presence was behind it. It's been a good while since then, and thus there is a correction that must be made to that statement to truly reflect what we players have discovered: The Farewell Medley is the largest fangame.
To understand how the game works, it is worth knowing it is split into two parts. The first is the main storyline, which is comprised of a plethora of stages that vary across the spectrum of the fangame genres. These stages represent the creativity and artistic passion of our community and show the best of what we have to offer. They contain some of the best platforming I have played, some of the greatest bosses I have challenged, and the most enjoyable puzzles I have solved. This storyline is very long, but throughout the entire time I applauded the creators for maintaining my interest the entire time; there is never a single dull moment in this game.
The second part is where the game bares its true colors in the form of optional content. I said the main storyline is very long, but the remaining optional content absolutely triumphs over it tenfold in the amount of stuff there is to do. So much of this content feels like the envisioned dreams of the creators, as they each put forward unique ideas that make every inch of this game worth exploring. There are several minigames you can play, entire stages hidden behind various guardians, even areas that will test your logic. The piece that holds all of this together is a wonderfully crafted achievement system, which ensures you see all that The Farewell Medley has to offer. Rather you hunt down items for the game's optional Collectathon, test your knowledge against the online leader board, or do battle against memories of the past, there will always be something lurking around the corner to do next.
I now wish to talk about areas in the game directly, I do not recommend reading if you have not played the full game. To save space and to be more readable I have pasted such on this Trello board: https://trello.com/b/m4z54PJM/farewell-medley-stage-reviews
With all of this said, The Farewell Medley is absolutely the greatest entry within the Adventure genre and is without a doubt my favorite fangame. It is a constant source of variety and enjoyment that lasts for tens of hours, and a monument to everything I want from a game in general. It without a doubt deserves all the honorifics it has earned and more, and I also believe immediately places Kurath as my favorite maker as well. Well done to the various makers within, thank you for this experience.
If you like IWBTG Fangames, you should play this. This is the pinnacle of our community, the absolute best we have to offer.

Will for sure complete this review somedays, but if I had to describe this game then I would say : "It has everything you would and wouldn't expect from a fangame".

Is this game good or not? I don't know, but it certainly is the most.
Edit:
This game is the most fun, most creative, most enjoyable experience I have had in the nearly 6 years I've played fangames.
