One might reveal themself to be a meek little anthropomorphic snake in a robe, while another might be an armadillo with an adorable church hat. Speak to them and develop enough trust with the wayward spirit, and they’ll join your ship, transforming into their true form. Some of these four-cornered friends have a whispy aura hovering above them in the shape of something else. Imagine a Shy Guy that’s swallowed a PS4, and you’re there. Almost every inhabitant of these little pockets of civilisation is an identical block-shaped buddy with a silky cloak draped over their entire body. As you across the unmapped regions of the game, you’ll come across new towns, settlements, and islands to dock at and explore. The only thing that the curtain of the night puts a halt to is your ability to sail the spiritual seas, which is how you make most of your progress in Spiritfarer. If you want to play music to your carrots or cook delicious apple pies long after the sun goes down, nothing is going to stop you. Crops can’t go bad and there isn’t any sort of stamina meter or time-limit forcing you to stop playing. Spiritfarer eliminates all of these sweat-inducing road-blocks, though. While life-simulation games are usually laid-back and cheery affairs, the time limit that these micro-management elements put on you can usually be a little stressful or nerve-wracking. You’ve got gardens to tend, fabric to thread, houses to build, ore to mine, and even mouths to feed as you begin bringing spirits aboard your ship.
This translates to a healthy amount of management-style gameplay not unlike something like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons. As the newly appointed ferryman, Stella (and her fluffy cat Daffodil, who was also granted the spiritual powers of Charon) must assemble their own sea-faring vessel to serve as a temporary home to the various spirits they’ll encounter and recruit during their time as spirit farers.
