#spiritfarer farewell edition

[yuespropagandablog]

Hello esteemed mutual. If you are reading this, then that means my propaganda is working. But you might still have questions, so I am here to answer them. Well. Actually. My propaganda already worked without the help of Captain America, but I also like writing these posts and SOME OF Y'ALL haven't bought it yet after I posted a lot so here I am after all.

What is Spiritfarer?

Spiritfarer is a management game by Thunder Lotus Games about death. Yup, death. I have... an interesting history with this game, that you can ask me about later, but I read multiple times that it's a great game to deal with grief and yes, it is. Also, apparently it's been renamed to Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition, but that basically means that the game is complete. After release, there were some major free content updates. Now that the game's been finished, I might replay it as the full package.

You play as Stella, who upon her death, arrives in an afterlife of sorts and takes over from Charon (yes, that Charon) to become the Spiritfarer. In life, Stella was a palliative care nurse in charge of helping increase the quality of life of patients with a serious illness, who stayed with these patients till the end in order to ease their pain. That's why she is fitting for this role. Stella inherits Charon's boat and sails around, picking up spirits of deceased people who haven't really moved on 'to the great beyond' just yet. Stella houses them on her boat, makes them feel comfortable, helps them with unfinished business, and eventually lets them go.

Yup. You need to let them go.

Anyway, have a trailer:

What's so great about it?

Personally, I think this game excels at the combination between story and gameplay. As in, I am usually fine if a game prioritises one over the other (like Tears of the Kingdom's gameplay is better than its story, and Night in the Woods's story is better than its gameplay), but this game is just right. It's a management sim, so you need to care for these spirits, update your boat for more rooms with activities to do, collect resources, farm, cook etc. Your management influences the mood of your spirits, which in turn impacts the game.

Once you're off your boat, there's some platforming and 2D exploration. There are also special events for certain kinds of items that lead to a special mini-game.

It would've been a cosy and relaxing game if it weren't, you know, about death. I mean, it's still relaxing and chill. It's really nice to play. The impending goodbyes just loom over you.

And aside from satisfying gameplay, the story is just amazing. The amount of characters that Stella meets is great and everyone has their own story. It's a game about death, as I said before, and it shows how death can occur in different ways. Prepare to weep. A big part of this game is about saying goodbye. The game simulates a grieving process. You may foolishly believe that it's just a game, and you control it, and you may hold on to some spirits, but in order to progress, you need to let them go. Oof.

The story is well-done in a way that it surprised me, but looking back on them, all those surprises were predictable. Those kinds of stories are the greatest. It still makes you feel something, but it wasn't a left field either. It's just good shit.

Where can I play this?

Thank you Wikipedia for listing it: Linux, macOS, Windows, Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, iOS and Android. I think the mobile port is done through Netflix Games. I played it on Switch.

Can we play together?

There is local co-op. Stella is joined by her cat Daffodil, even in the soloplayer mode. But in multiplayer, the second player controls Daffodil. I have never played it in co-op, and Daffodil cannot do everything that Stella can do. I think he's like a better Cappy. But again, I have no experience with it myself.

Are there content warnings?

It's about death, and as I said, it's about different ways death can occur. Death isn't always natural. In fact, people unfortunately die from illness, unnatural causes, or from self-inflicted harm. And not everyone reaches old age. Also, you delve into the lives of the spirits, and not everyone had a rosy life. Topics like abandonment issues and unhealthy relationships are part of the story.

Is there DLC?

Nope. That's because the content updates were free. I do have, you know, things to say about content updates in general, but I have more to say about paid DLC so I respect the hell out of Thunder Lotus for not charing extra money for it.

Are there German characters in Spiritfarer?

It's heavily implied that Stella is French. Is that close enough?

“ And it hurts so much! Life is suffering. It is hard! The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep on living." ... "I don't regret a thing, you know. I don't regret the struggles. I don't regret the hardships. The pain. The sorrow. And I've seen so much of it! But still. I don't regret what I've done or how I've lived my life. I just wish the world had been a better place. A better place for them, for us... But surely, a better place for you, my dear." ... "I feel like a vast vessel, with so many dusty rooms and cabins... I have so many of them... So many memories... Some of them are gone, but some of them... Some of them will live on forever. In you, in others. ”

SPIRITFARER: FAREWELL EDITION

ngl, amazing. Masterpiece. Stopped playing after a while to recover from the massive FEELS. Will continue playing after i gain the emotional strength again. 

Spiritfarer® is a cozy management game about dying. You play Stella, ferrymaster to the deceased, a Spiritfarer. Build a boat to explore the world, then befriend and care for spirits before finally releasing them into the afterlife. Farm, mine, fish, harvest, cook, and craft your way across mystical seas. Join the adventure as Daffodil the cat, in two-player cooperative play. Spend relaxing quality time with your spirit passengers, create lasting memories, and, ultimately, learn how to say goodbye to your cherished friends.

I bought this game during the sale, and i just loved it. I went in blindly and it ended up becoming one of my favorite games to play. This game is so wholesome as you meet lots of spirits wandering here and there, and you get to interact with them. The hugs given and received here and there make it so wholesome and cozy especially when you’re dealing with something at the moment. It might not be in real life, it might just be virtual, but this is not just a game. All of it feels like a warm and much-needed hug. It’s a nice comfy escape from the outside world, a much needed escape. 

I definitely recommend this to those who want to play something chill, cozy, with good music. There’s this thing too where you play songs to the plants to make them grow faster, it’s just so heartwarming along with the hugs i mentioned earlier. You may find yourself nearly crying over every passing, but trust me, you need this. ♡

Coziness rating - 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Let's Play Some Demos! - Part 24

Thursday, March 20, 2025

Welcome to Part 24 of the Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series! For those who are new, I aim to provide commentary and feedback on game demos for educational purposes! In addition, with how saturated Steam is, let's get these indie games some attention, shall we (and the occasional AAA game I think isn't getting enough attention)? For this episode, I used some of the demos I had grabbed from the Women's Day Sale Steam Event! RULES! Typically, there are 4 demos. Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation. I might up it to 5 and/or play a great game for longer if there are technical issues. Or a demo finishes before the timer goes off. And NO AI's spit, aka. plagiarism laundering.

Today, I played 4 demos for your enjoyment:

Angeline Era by Melos Han-Tani, Marina Kittaka & Analgesic Productions  - Available: 2025 An unforgettable and wild Bumpslash Action-Adventure! Explore a world of Fae, Humans and Angels, where hilarious hazards and charming creatures await. Will you uncover its mysteries?

ctrl.alt.DEAL by Only By Midnight Ltd. - Coming soon With your superior intelligence and sneakiness, you can find a way to escape from this heartless megacorp! (As long as no one realizes you’re actually a self-aware AI...) Spy on humans, offer them deals, and negotiate your way to freedom in a turn-based strategy game of corporate dysfunction.

Find-o'-Lantern by ERЯOR 300 - Available Solve logical riddles in this simple, yet challenging game based on the classic star battle format.

Imperiums: Greek Wars by Kube Games - Available Unique combination of turn-based 4X and historical grand strategy with a mythological twist. Explore the ancient world and build a world leading civilization. Survive, expand, conquer... and win!

The links above are to the games' Steam pages. Imperiums: Greek Wars is also available on itch.io!

Overall, I want Find-o'-Lantern and it is on my wishlist.

For anyone interested in a mini-review, it will be available on the Opinions & Truth | O&T blog later today, or this week, here!  

If you don't see Part 24 when you click the link, it means I'm still working on it. Feel free to look at other videos while you wait!  

And that's it for the mini-review of Part 24! Thank you for reading! If this series of videos is something you're interested in, they're available on YouTube, The Titans' Discord, Steam, Rumble, Odysee, Ko-fi, and on multiple blogging platforms!

Also delightfully cheap is Spiritfarer. Less than 5 USD for either edition, both of which have all the game content in them.

I hear nothing but good things about this game.

[jennaflare]

Spiritfarer is $5 USD right now! Check it out if you would like to cry your eyes out <3

[mj-makoshark]

Don't know how much I'll post stuff like this, but it turns out critical writing can be fun if it's something you care about. Who knew?

Probably about halfway through it, Spiritfarer is a game made with a lot of love, but I don't know if it took the most advantage of being a game in the first place considering how many times I've had to ask "is this supposed to happen or did I miss something?" It gave us Summer though so peak fiction.

[paintscroll]

As the new Spiritfarer, your sole job is to help weary spirits become comfortable, listen to tales of their lives, support them across a beautiful ocean, and help them pass on through the Everdoor. A game that faces death in its totality, including aspects gone untouched as a loved one approaches their end. At times comforting, yet daunting, and a reminder that no matter what- you're never alone.

Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition is currently $3 USD on Steam until Mar 20. If you or anyone you know has struggled with the passing of a loved one, I can't recommend this game enough.

Update 14/06/2023

Hey all let's get to the update of this month. Let's start with personal life, after getting a promotion i has lesser time to record but i'm still going on The temperature in our place are really messing up my computer it's like he wants to fly to the moon. So let's start with the gaming update of this month.

Completed:

Raji: An ancient epic

This game was really relaxing at some points and frustrating at others, but in overall i enjoyed the game and the story was good too. It is stuck on a cliffhanger so i would expect a second installment of the game along the ride.

Batman: Arkham City

Like the last installment the game was good and the combat even beter, i didn't like the fly training to unlock things but the rest was good. The story was good and it really fits as continues of the last installment, i was sad after i did everything and there was nothing more to do. The catwoman mix in the game also fits, you don't play enough though only at the end you can keep playing with her.

Resident Evil: HD Remaster

Not really new but this version is new for me. Still played what i used of it, 2 members of stars getting stuck in the mansion and depending who you choose the game changes a little bit. Some changes where done from the original but that made the game beter and longer.

L.A. Noire

This game brings you strait in the 40's where you take the roll of a police officer that used to be a soldier, you make your way between different divisions of the police. I like the feel of the game and the inspection and for sure the people you have to investigate only to find out it all fit together (sounds like the game CSI before). The best thing is if you wanna drive or go strait to the place of the crime/destination and let your partner ride, you do miss out on events on the map though.

Replays:

Risen

Risen 2: Dark water

Risen 3: Titan Lords

The Surge

New Games:

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters

Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition

Bendy and the Dark Revival

Operation: Tango

Windjammers 2

Builder Simulator

Behind The Frame: The Finest Scenery

The Invinsible Hand

Skyfall (2021)

Above The Skies

Sandfall

The Uncertain: Light At the End

Never Again

Last:

I got the sound problem fixed and i don't even know how, so i'm still going trough Five: Guardians of David and i think i'm almost at the ending. This is for the update see you on next.

[moonfeatherblue]

Apologies for the delay - here's this week's schedule! First attempt at Spiritfarer tomorrow, reading The War of the Worlds on Thursday (we... will... finish... it...) and exploring the conlang for my Main Magical Project on Saturday. I've been meaning to give this language a bit of an overhaul for months on end now, so thought we should make an event of it. I'm not yet exactlyyyyyy sure what form this stream will take, but I'll think about it during the week!
