<p>Today, it’s with great pride that we are launching Thunder Lotus’ third game, <em>Spiritfarer</em>, a cozy management game about dying.</p>
<p>Death is a recurring theme in our games, from the Viking afterlife in <em>Jotun</em> to the meandering eldritch caverns of <em>Sundered</em>. You could say that I’m obsessed. <em>Spiritfarer</em> is quite different though. Diving deep into the subject with a lighter touch and a cozier vibe. You play Stella, ferry master to the deceased, and must build a boat to explore the world, pick up spirits, and release them into the afterlife.</p>

<p><em>Spiritfarer</em> is a game about celebrating life. As you meet these spirits and fulfill their final requests, you get to know them: their likes, dislikes, who they were, and what they did. Hopefully, you’ll connect with them. Their stories were often inspired by loved ones of the devs on our team.</p>
<p>Among others, we have Gwen, the deer spirit and Stella’s fiendishly sarcastic best friend. Atul is Stella’s uncle the frog spirit, always happy, hungry, and ready for a hug. And Summer, the snake spirit, who teaches Stella the importance of gardening and of connecting to the earth and to one’s inner self.</p>

<p>As for gameplay, you could say we threw everything but the kitchen sink at <em>Spiritfarer</em>. Platforming, exploration, narrative dialogue, minigames, crafting, cooking, fishing, farming and more. <em>Spiritfarer</em> has it all! Some could call it unfocused but I call it a beautiful mishmash of creative game design. The different game modes naturally flow between each other, allowing for player expression and min-maxing of various management activities. Just beware of capitalistic sharks and raccoons, they’re always looking to snatch up your hard earned Glims, the game’s luminous currency.</p>

<p>We hope you’ll enjoy your time with <em>Spiritfarer</em>. We’ve poured our heart and soul into this game and are extremely proud of what it means for us as developers. Hopefully, <em>Spiritfarer</em> can act as a warm blanket in these hard and uncertain times.</p>
