Field report · Bearing South (Calm) · Thunder Lotus, 2020
Spiritfarer
A ferry for spirits, a boat full of gardens and kitchens, and a gentle game about saying goodbye.
The journey
Stella ferries spirits to the afterlife. Build rooms on your boat, cook their favourite meals, grow crops and listen to their stories, until it is time to take each one to the Everdoor.
Who should go
Players looking for something calm, warm and meaningful. Excellent for a quiet evening.
A boat that grows
You keep adding rooms, gardens and workshops to your boat. It becomes a floating village that feels like home.
Saying goodbye
Each spirit has a story, and each goodbye is moving. It is a game about death, handled kindly.
Play with someone
A second player can join on the same screen as a cat. It is a lovely way to share a calm evening.
