GAMEPLAY

Spiritfarer is an indie adventure game developed by Thunder Lotus Games, where the player must meet the needs of the spirits aboard their ship with food and building boat additions. This leads to the player collecting materials while on their journey to build kitchens, gardens, and other home amenities to help the spirits feel more at home. While uncovering more of each spirit’s backstory, they sail their way to crossing over to the afterlife through the Everdoor. These new sections that are added to the ship are placed like puzzle pieces, stacked up on top of one another in any way that fits. The characters that Stella meets along the way also give the player mini-games to play for materials and in-game currency that are relevant to the spirit’s character. The game also has vendors that sell items such as seeds for the player’s gardens, and furniture to decorate their ship, giving the game a more personalized experience.

PLOT

The player takes the role of Stella, accompanied by her pet cat Daffodil, who takes over from the mythological Charon as the new Spiritfarer, a ferrymaster who must sail the sea to find spirits and grant their last wishes and finally take them to the Everdoor, a gateway to the afterlife. To assist with her journey, Charon gifts both Stella and Daffodil with the magical Everlight.

After Charon passes through the Everdoor, Stella procures a ship of her own and begins traveling the world, picking up spirits and helping them fulfill their last wishes while befriending them along the way. As she picks up more spirits and collects resources, Stella expands the ship and its capabilities further. However, Stella must eventually begin sending the spirits to the Everdoor. Each of them gives an emotional sendoff as they thank Stella for everything she has done for them, leaving her a spirit flower to remember them by.

As Stella sends off more and more spirits, she begins occasionally encountering Hades, in the form of a giant owl. Hades shows Stella images of what was her past life as a palliative care nurse, taking care of terminally ill patients before falling terminally ill herself. Hades then questions Stella’s motivations, wondering whether her desire to help spirits is altruistic or simply a selfish means to ease her insecurities.

Eventually, Stella sends off the last spirit through the Everdoor and she has one final confrontation with Hades. Hades reveals that Stella’s body is on the verge of death in the real world, and it is now her time to pass through the Everdoor. With her purpose fulfilled, Stella sails back to the Everdoor with Daffodil one last time. She passes through the Everdoor with Daffodil, and, like the spirits before them, they both become a constellation in the sky.
