Spiritfarer FAQ
What is Spiritfarer about?
Spiritfarer is a cozy management game about death, grief, and letting go, developed by Thunder Lotus Games and released in 2020. You play as Stella, a young woman who takes over from Charon as the Spiritfarer — a ferrymaster who guides the souls of the dead to the afterlife. Along the way, you build and upgrade a boat, grow crops, cook meals, craft materials, and most importantly, befriend a series of colorful spirits based on people Stella knew in life. Each spirit has their own story, personality, and needs, and when the time is right, you help them pass on. The game handles themes of loss, aging, dementia, family conflict, and saying goodbye with remarkable warmth and honesty.
Is Spiritfarer sad? Will it make me cry?
Yes — Spiritfarer is emotionally heavy and will very likely make you cry, especially if you have experienced loss or have aging family members. The game deals directly with death, grief, dementia, end-of-life care, complicated family relationships, and saying goodbye. However, it is not a sad game in a hopeless way — it is tender, warm, and ultimately affirming. Many players describe it as cathartic rather than depressing. The character of Alice (a spirit based on a grandmother figure experiencing memory loss) in particular is widely considered one of the most emotionally affecting portrayals of dementia in any video game. Go in prepared, but know that the sadness comes with an enormous amount of love.
How many spirits are in Spiritfarer?
Spiritfarer has 12 spirit companions in total across the base game and DLC: Gwen, Atul, Summer, Gustav, Alice, Giovanni, Stanley, Bruce & Mickey (counted as one), Astrid, Elena, Jackie & Daria (counted as one), and Summer. The Lily's Caress DLC added additional content. Each spirit has a complete narrative arc with unique questlines, building requirements, favorite foods, and a farewell sequence. The spirits are widely considered some of the best-written characters in any indie game released in the 2020s.
Is Spiritfarer worth playing in 2025?
Yes — Spiritfarer is absolutely worth playing in 2025. It remains one of the highest-rated cozy games ever made (90+ on Metacritic) and is frequently cited as a masterpiece of emotional storytelling in games. The gameplay loop of building your boat, cooking, crafting, and befriending spirits is genuinely satisfying. The art is beautiful. The music is extraordinary. If you have ever lost someone or are grappling with aging loved ones, it may feel uncomfortably real — but in a way that helps. It is also available on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus at no extra cost for subscribers, making it very accessible.
What are the best tips for Spiritfarer beginners?
Spiritfarer beginner tips: (1) Talk to every spirit every day — they often have new dialogue that advances their storylines and you do not want to miss it. (2) Learn each spirit's favorite food early and keep it stocked — feeding spirits their favorites gives big happiness boosts and is required for some quest triggers. (3) Do not rush to say goodbye — you cannot un-do a farewell, so wait until you have completed all of a spirit's questlines. (4) Upgrade your boat early — the Shipyard upgrades that expand your boat grid are essential for fitting all the buildings you will need. (5) The Everdoor awaits each spirit when their arc is complete — you will know when the time is right. (6) The game is not on a timer — take your time, enjoy the cooking, and let the stories unfold at their own pace.
