Steam deal: Acclaimed indie adventure with 85% off, now just $4.49

Spiritfarer is a heartfelt management adventure that explores themes of farewell and loss. Players step into the role of Stella, the new ferrymaster of souls, who, alongside her cat Daffodil, guides the departed on their journey to the afterlife. Throughout the game, you'll meet various spirits, each with a unique past, personal wishes and lingering fears. Seen through Stella’s eyes, their stories unfold as you help make their final moments as peaceful as possible. Despite its heavy themes, the game maintains a warm and comforting atmosphere.

Spiritfarer revolves around ship management, exploration and crafting. Players can customize their boat, build structures and unlock new areas. Beyond expanding their floating home, they can also cook, fish and bake. The open world features light platforming elements, allowing for exploration and the discovery of hidden secrets. With no time limits or combat, the game offers a relaxing experience focused on thoughtful gameplay and heartfelt dialogue.

Indie studio Thunder Lotus Games developed and released Spiritfarer in August 2020. The game has been highly praised on Steam, with over 37,000 reviews and a 95% positive rating.

There are no major criticisms, though some players find the gameplay repetitive or the backtracking tedious. However, Spiritfarer is primarily about its story and these issues do little to diminish its emotional impact.
