Spiritfarer may well be about death, but it’s filled with light and joy.Ĭharon passes to you the Everlight, a multifunctional tool that will allow you to perform all the tasks your various passengers will ask of you. In contrast, Stella is a young, vibrant woman instantly setting the tone for what is to come. He is a huge, hooded, dark, and foreboding character with wizened claw-like hands. The meeting between Stella and Charon is stark. The first character you meet is Charon, and there are other characters from that mythos too, but as someone who is largely agnostic, I never felt like this was a game about specific beliefs, rather one about warmth and love.
Your task will be to find them in the world, bring them to your vessel, and keep them comfortable until they are ready to move on. You play as Stella, accompanied by her cat Daffodil as the newly appointed Spiritfarer charged with bringing dying souls to the afterlife. Spiritfarer from Thunder Lotus takes this concept and weaves a stunningly beautiful game about death and the journey each individual takes to reach that final acceptance. And when it does come, the best we can hope for is that we have lived a life filled with love and can go at peace with ourselves. Death is an inevitable end to life it comes for us all eventually, no-one can escape it, no matter how hard we try.
For me personally, it has brought into a focus far more acutely just how short the time can be with the people that we love. If you will allow me to be maudlin for a moment, 2020 has been an awful, awful year for many.
