![]() Thunder Lotus not only brought a game to the market that positively sheds light on the subject of death, but they did something even more remarkable. And I was shocked at the passing of another character.Īll told, Spiritfarer is a fantastic game. I laughed with Gwen’s dialogue because of lines like this: “People like you are the reason we have middle fingers.” (That biting wit… LOVE IT.) I cried with the departure of Alice. Each character has their charm which leads to our personal feelings about these people when we take them to the Everdoor. We learn that characters are crass, or quick-witted, or fell in love with the wrong person. Others are content with themselves by the time they reach the end. We learn that not all characters are proud of their choices in life. One of the best features of Spiritfarer is arguably the character’s stories. I also love that there are D&D references in Spiritfarer! Thus, Stanley did not come onto my ship until many weeks had passed in the game. Notably, ectoplasm can’t be found unless players have discovered a particular character that is not found by normal means. I don’t mind the fact that players can take their time with different quests, but spending hours traveling the world without having the ability to get some of the resources is what slows its pacing. One of my primary issues of Spiritfarer is the idea that in the late game, the pacing is off. And should a player enter an area without having unlocked the event, they won’t be able to get the resource! A Couple of Pros and Cons To activate the mini-game for bottled ectoplasm, players need to have discovered a different character. #Spiritfarer ectoplasm upgrade#It contains bright jelly, an upgrade material for the kitchen.

Finally, each character has objectives to complete before they can be brought to the Everdoor.Įarly on, Gwen (the first passenger) introduces players to one of the mini-games. Then we have to cut logs into planks to construct or improve buildings. First and foremost, the characters need food to survive. Spiritfarers’ gameplay is unique in that farming, cooking, logging, mining, and fishing are all required to succeed. At this point, we know that each upgrade requires specific items collected from various locations in this world. Our next trip is to Albert’s Shipyard for boat upgrades, which includes everything from speed boosts, to light additions, and to enlarge the vessel. Though, later on, each character will want their own. Getting rid of the boxes and leftover items serve to build a guest house for new passengers. No matter, we are thrown into the thick of things with Charon’s boat, a special light granting us powers, and our first passenger kicks things off.īefore we can progress, we have to tidy up the boat. This is a surprise because all the other characters change forms where we do not. We are introduced to Charon at the beginning and he is exactly what we expect. ![]() After playing through this charming and disheartening title, I feel relieved that the subject of death is handled with care, especially since I struggle with certain people’s passing. Players learn that each person has demons to confront before they reach the Everdoor, the portal to the afterlife. Spiritfarer is a game that lets players take the place of Charon who ferries souls between the living and the spirit worlds.
