- Spiritfarer is a cosy management game about dying. You play as Stella and help fulfil spirits final quests before taking them to the everdoor, a portal to the afterlife.
Spiritfarer has been one of my favourite games, if not my favourite, ever since i played it over a year ago and i have been wanting to go deep into the story of every character for MONTHS but i have been too scared to make a video like this. i feel like you can tell its out of my comfort zone because i look a little awkward but please ignore that and pay attention to the beautiful game Thunderlotus has made, because it truly is a masterpiece that deserves so much love and attention.

this game is soooooo beautiful i missed a lot of it when u were streaming so i loved this little summary of everyone
tbh there was so much even i forgot, making this video really reminded me how special this game really is
About the ending of a game, I think that the idea that it was all a dream is usually bad in most stories, but it works in Spiritfarer. A story is a journey: you start somewhere, do some stuff, and then end up somewhere else when it is over. If we are told that the journey happened in the real world, and then told "surprise, it was all a dream," then the story isn't true anymore. But the story in Spiritfarer is presented from the beginning as an emotional journey, and emotions live in our hearts and in our minds. it is a story about love and loss, and not a story about building a boat. Because the real journey of the game always happens inside of Stella's heart, her story is true whether it happened or not.
Thank you for this video I love this game so much and it’s helped me get through a lot which is wild to say about such a cozy little game, Good luck! 🍀
thank you!! this game is really something special
this was such a lovely video!!! I loved this game but i feel like I have an even better understanding of it now because I struggled to actually take in everything that happened!!!
thank you!! i think there’s a lot to the game i missed while playing, especially the meaning of the events and certain parts of the backstories and it was nice to fill in the gaps
A lot of people don't like the end of Atul's storyline, but I think it makes sense given who he is. Throughout the game, you see Atul being helpful and cheerful and generous, and I think he has learned to derive his self-worth from his usefulness to others. But if that's the attitude he takes, then when he needs help from Stella, not only is he not useful, he is a burden. And he can't have that, so he thinks he has to go to the Everdoor alone. It isn't true, of course -- Stella loves Atul because of who he is, and not because of what he can do for her. But people aren't perfect, and they don't live perfect lives. The tragedy of Atul's story isn't that he leaves without saying goodbye -- it's that he lived his entire life carrying a silent sadness inside of him, when it wasn't necessary for him to do so. Had he learned to let people in and to ask for help when he needed it, he would have learned how loved he truly is.
so true, atul shows basically no pain compared to the other spirits and it definitely feels like he is keeping this from everyone for that reason
