QUIET / A CLOSER LOOK / 34
Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition
Thunder Lotus
Build a boat, care for its passengers and say goodbye. A journey that holds tenderness and loss together.
THE DESIGN LENS
What makes this worth a closer look.
Spiritfarer® calls itself a cozy management game about dying, and that pairing is the design reading worth holding onto. Building a boat, caring for spirit friends and releasing them into the afterlife could place tenderness and loss inside the same routines.
Before you make it your next game.
Death and farewell are central. Do not expect an exclusively lighthearted escape.
