This game has one flaw: *You can only hug each person once per day*

oh hey this is pretty goo- LEARN TO SAY GOODBYE me, now sobbing: yep im sold

Guys, this is the game for chilling and crying. I AM IN

It's fine a 3 minute game trailer just made me cry.

Imagine having to make a funeral for you favorite animal crossing character, this is the feeling I got from that last part in the video.

I'm conflicted because I don't think my heart could handle sending the spirits away after befriending them

This is probably the highlights of the indie world, seems really beautiful this game

"And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, as equals, they departed this life."

"Spiritfarer® is a cozy management game about dying. " Wait, what ???

I bought and downloaded the game yesterday and I have to say: It is so relaxing. The characters are quirky and unique - they have very well written dialogue. The animations of the characters and models are fantastic, they’re very smooth and almost make me forget that they’re not real. Crafting is fairly simplistic and not too overbearing - you can do everything at your own pace. So far I haven’t found a complaint yet with this game. EDIT: Be careful reading the replies they do contain slight spoilers.

Definitely wasn't expecting a random game trailer to make me emotional.

Just finished this game. Please play it. It's so rewarding when you finish a spirit's questline and get them to the everdoor. It's emotional for me but not in a sobbing histerically way but more of a breakthrough moments here and there like when you realize that even the unpleasant people or spirits you encounter deserve compassion, closure and a listening ear. Not all of the spirits are likeable which I love because it's realistic. And Stella (your character) isn't perfect either and the game humanizes her little by little throughout. This is the perfect game for me ❤.

This is one of those games, that makes me feel that gaming is wholesome, and I am not just wasting my time doing it. Makes me a better and deeper person too. thank you

me: "Oh this trailer looks neat." Mushroom spirit: "i'm really scared." trailer: "Learn to say goodbye." me: *emotionally damaged*

Who decided that their TRAILER should make me cry???

Even though it's just a game, it kind of felt like I achieved something somewhat tangible for myself, because it made me feel and express sadness and grief, which are emotions that I usually try to ignore or hide. It sounds silly, but I feel like I've grown a bit more as a person after this experience and might shed a few more tears in the future, if I feel sad, instead of suppressing my emotions. Thanks for this great music and this great game!

This game looks so beautiful in both art style and story and I cannot wait until I have the money to get it

Me: A management game? what's this abo-- 2 minutes later: How dare you T_T

That hung at the end made me cry, but mostly because I haven't had a big in probably 3 months and I want one really bad.

Trailer: “Take care of your adorable spirit friends” Me: “omg, yes, they’re so cute!” Also trailer: “Watch your friends pass into the afterlife as you stand by helplessly!” Me: *”...........WUT.”*

Talk about punching above your weight. This is some crazy production value for an indie.

70 hours into the game and still absolutely in love with it. It’ll break my heart once I finish it. Thunder Lotus...You Folks have created a masterpiece. My favourite game...OF ALL TIME ❤️❤️❤️

This game will make you cry. Not every spirit will make you cry. But one day you will find the one that breaks you.

This game reminds me so much of a Ghibli film, mostly Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. From the beginning I already had a sense of how it would end, but the journey is so beautiful. Even though it's definitely tear-jerking, it does leave you with a sense of peace. 10/10, will replay again when I get another box of tissues. 😭❤️

as someone who is almost done with my first save; get it if you can. this game is one of the most insanely beautiful things i've ever played. the art is beautiful. the designs are stunning. the story is... it's something else. i've never played a game that has such depth to it. every character has a unique struggle and path they take before you say goodbye to them. it all seems so natural and beautiful. some of the spirits are so well written it hurt immensely to say goodbye to them. there are a few i can think of off the top of my head. and there are many spirits that hit insanely close to home, especially as someone who has many people in my life that struggle with their mental health. this game is not one for the faint of heart, and there are quite a few sensitive topics, however they're handled with a lot of care. i've sobbed my way through a LOT of the stories. this game is amazing. if you're looking for a beautiful, emotional, and just downright enjoyable, get spiritfarer.

The little hedgehog grandma made me bawl my eyes out. She was so sweet, but the process before she left made my heart ache 😭

I started this game completely blind when I downloaded it on game pass. "Oh this looks like a cute harvest moon/animal crossing kind of game!". I was not prepared for what it actually was. This game is going to be a roller coaster.

I played this game a few weeks after losing both my grandma and my cousin. It hit like a truck emotionally.

Nintendo really be annoucing the best games for this quarentine

Why are my "feels" activated, after watching a trailer? This game looks amazing.

I didn't think when I first saw this trailer, that this game would shatter me.

animal crossing: nuzlocke edition.

Games Radar: Full of life and love Me: I can’t wait to make some spirit friends! Spiritfarer: Learn to say goodbye Me: WHAT

This game was the best experience I've had all year. I loved, I laughed, I cried my heart out. 10/10 from me

This was one of the best video games I have ever played. Ever.

I love the fact that the main character is black by default! You don’t see that often! Usually the “base” or assumed character is a pale-skinned(usually assumed to be white, or sometimes if its anime-inspired a very light skinned asian). As if a pale-skinned character is more “universally relatable” which couldn’t be further from the truth.

When he said he was scared, I just lost it and started balling my eyes. Omfgg T_T

I love the art and concept 🖤 So very cute, and a beautiful way to handle a death storyline 🖤

I’m only here because someone at my work told me about this game. It’s doesn’t seem overly complicated and the graphics and colors look really astounding! 👌

If I could describe this game. Imagine a raw, unfiltered, emotional animal crossing, with a lot larger place to explore and more interaction. Absolutely fell in love with this game! Well done.

Yeah I'm getting this. I'm ready to cry.

This game is HEAVY!! This game does a fantastic job of making you feel really invested in characters that you HAVE to say goodbye to. If you are dealing with the loss of a loved one I’d recommend playing this game. It may help you let go. It certainly helped me. Good Bye grammie. I love you

don't think I am emotionally ready for this game!

I've been waiting for this! Now Imma wait for Silksong and Cris Tales and my indie wishlist is complete!

Playing this game is truly a challenge. I only just started, and just said goodbye to my first and favorite character, and I'm absolutely devastated, I feel like I genuinely lost a friend.. this game is a 10/10 easily for its story, cause it really did capture how difficult it is to say goodbye.

Almost 3 years on and this game hits different. I lost my beloved and loyal Labrador companion in June of 22. It was the worst pain and loss I had ever experienced. I didn’t eat or drink for 4 days and had to go on an IV because his death left me grieving severely. I will always miss you Grug. May we reunite when my time comes. This is one of the game that shook me to my very core. A beautiful masterpiece.

My heart glows. So excited to have something unique and peaceful to play.

A game has never made me cry and captured my heart like this one. I like how slow paced it is, how everything is done with your own time and dont even get me started on the SOUNDTRACK. It’s so beautiful. Thinking about when I finished the game, it was heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. More games like this please! ❤️🥺

This looks really good and touching, I'm totally going to buy it

To anybody curious about whether to buy it or not, do it. It is a beautiful game with great characters and fun gameplay and it it's not super depressing either. Saying goodbye is more of a bittersweet. You know that they are going to a better place but still shed a few tears because you know you'll miss them on your journeys. Overall, do go get the game!!

The most beautiful game ever. It really changed me. I never thought that it is possible to share so many emotions through the game. That is absolute "must play". I will show it one day to my kids.

This makes me feel a lot better to be alive.

I got this game last year shortly after my grandmother died. The game was truly a breath of fresh air and really helped me move on. The music, the characters, the story, and the smooth mechanics all helped me better enjoy the game and see it as more than a piece art, I saw it as a way of comfort. If you haven't gotten it, you need a way to cope from the loss of a loved one, or just genuinely need a distraction then get this game. The story is told in a way that leaves you always enchanted and laughing from the interactions. The way the game plays is also a good reason to get it as it uses music, humor, and the many quests you can do as a way to keep you constantly moving. All in all, please get this game be it for yourself or for a friend. I would highly recommend it. 100/5 stars

I've owned this game for two hours and I've already cried multiple times

I just cried only over the trailer bro imagine if I bought this game

my friend: animal crossing but B O A T Me: Animal Crossing but D E A T H

On a side note as a brown girl seeing that the main character of this fantasy game is brown brings me so much joy!!!!!!! I’m not the biggest gamer but I’ll definitely get this💕☁️

This has nothing to do with its game title, but this gives me a Spirited Away vibe somehow, maybe the music and art style...?

This game has a beautiful message on death. The characters and visuals are stunning. The concept might scare you but I highly encourage people to look past that. It really is so therapeutic and sweet

She feels like DC Comic's Death of the Endless. This alone makes me excited for the game.

The artstyle reminds me of the Tea Dragon Society Books.

it's the music... the perfect music to the perfect story, makes me cry so much

Got this game and I am loving it. Yes, there are sad moments, but the chillness of the management part sort of helps move past the heavy and into the next bit.

Can't believe the contrast between this and Sundered. Love this studio, definitely getting this.

I am sure this game will absolutely emotionally destroy me, and I am here for it.

one of the best trailers iv'e ever seen

This is in my Top 3 favourite games ever. If you are thinking about buying it, I hope you read this message and go for it. This is a Masterpiece.

Me while watching this: this looks relaxing and cute After watching it: yo wtf...

Just recently started playing this and WOW. I did not expect to love this game so much, it’s totally worth it and the message behind it is so heartwarming 💜

0:56 Top 10 moments before depression:

Started playing this yesterday and I'm already hooked. Can't think of a single thing I would change. Well done!

a lot of people are gonna end up crying so hard with this one. I felt a bit teary eyed halfway through

One of the most wholesome games I've seen in a while.

there is so much beauty and heart in this game...and I think that it doesn't matter who you are, every person that will play this game will be able to feel a part of it. I never had an experience like this game and it will be forever a bright memory.

Rated T for TEARS

This makes me cry literally every single time I watch it.

One of the most memorable games I’ve ever played. Beautiful, addicting, so many feelings. Thank you THUNDERLOTUS.

Hands down one of the best indie game I have played it was long but daily dose of this game worked as stress buster for me.

I had this game bought for me, and I am absolutely in love with it. I have not been able to find anything close to it that insect me in like this game did. 10/5 would play a sequel if it came out

This game was a gem. I hope the team does another one like it or makes a sequel

If this isn’t how it is when I die, I don’t wanna

This game is something truly special. I lost my parents years ago and I thought I had dealt with it because I’d learned to live with some sense of normalcy, but bottling something up is not the same as dealing with it. This game made me realize that and it helped walk me through a healthy and mature acceptance of these things. More than years of therapy ever did. Maybe I just was finally ready or maybe it was because it took me by surprise or maybe because it was in an objective way. Maybe it was because I’m not intimidated by gaming like I am with trying to talk about my feelings. Either way this game is absolutely amazing especially if you’re dealing with loss. ❤

Bought and played the game - can confirm, makes you cry! 11/10

Had to buy this game the moment I saw it. Loving it so far!

I cried so much during this game, but I would really recommend it.

Just a heads up for those who are planning on buying the game right now. The price dropped from $29.99 to $7.49 until 6/25/23.

Why do I cry when I watch the trailer. Such a beautiful game. Love love love.

This game looks so beautiful. Also really happy to see it's more of a management game than a platformer or other type of RPG.

This video game is very beautiful, just by watching the trailer I already cried ;-; I can't wait to play it

I wish I could experience the feeling of playing this game for the first time again.

I recently experienced someone close to me who passed, and this game will definitely make me cry but it has a sort of calming aspect to it.

Okay, this game looks so beautiful 🥺

I started crying at the end I'm sold

the music is better then most soundtracks to multi-million dollar cinematic scores. you found a great composer : )

Reminds me of Studio Ghibli, love it

HEY I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE CRYING BY THE END WHAT GIVES

Beautiful story and artwork? I'll take it! The art style reminds me of some nostalgic children's illustration book.

Really loved this game, it's super profound, extremely wholesome and almost soothing to play. I also really enjoyed how not every story in the game is a bright and happy one, some of them are really bittersweet, while others are mostly painful, just like real life. A real gem of an indie game!

Got to play this game finally last year. Was definitely worth it. I'm replaying it currently. This game helped me be less afraid of death.

Good god this game is gonna make me cry :,(
