About Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer is a cozy management game about death, released in 2020 to widespread acclaim. You play Stella, a Spiritfarer whose job is to ferry spirits to the afterlife, and the game is about saying goodbye — each spirit you welcome onto your boat has a story, needs, and a final goodbye that will break your heart. The gameplay is a gentle mix of resource management and exploration: you build and upgrade your boat, farm, cook, fish, and craft to care for your passengers, all while sailing through a beautiful hand-drawn world. Each of the spirits is a distinct character based on the developer's loved ones, and the game treats death with warmth, dignity, and humor rather than fear. Its co-op mode lets a second player join as the cat Daffodil. It is one of the most emotionally affecting games ever made.
