When we dive into the realm of cozy video games, it’s really all about the vibe. Think easygoing tasks, soothing colors, and friendly faces. That’s where Spiritfarer comes into its own, and it’s available at a steal during the Steam Spring Sale right now. If you’re in the mood to occupy your weekend with something special or want an experience that’s truly touching, this game is a must-try.
Spiritfarer isn’t just any life simulation; it’s centered on the afterlife. Instead of the usual helping hands extended to NPCs going about their regular routines, you find yourself aiding them in their journey to what comes next. You play as Stella, tasked with building a boat to guide these spirits towards their afterlife, assisting them in coming to terms with their past. In familiar fashion, you’ll still be busy upgrading your home, and gathering resources through mining, fishing, farming, cooking, and crafting—everything you’d expect, but with an ultimate objective that carries a sense of closure.
Having journeyed through Spiritfarer several times myself, each experience has left me with an even deeper sense of reflection. Without giving too much away, if games like Stardew Valley, Bear and Breakfast, or even A Short Hike strike a chord with you, this one is certainly worth your time.
Spiritfarer’s Farewell Edition includes every update since the game first launched. Jumping into the management adventure now means enjoying even more spirits, a new island to explore, and a plethora of additions. The sale has proven quite popular, causing a peak of over 8,700 simultaneous players on Valve’s platform. With nearly 38,000 reviews leaving it with a glowing 95% approval, it’s clear the game has captured many hearts. If a cozy title is what you’re after to pass the time, you couldn’t find a better opportunity.
This discount arrives just days before the anticipated release of Thunder Lotus’ upcoming title, 33 Immortals. This cooperative action-roguelike shifts gears towards fast-paced combat but retains the afterlife theme similar to Spiritfarer. It’s a venture through hell, purgatory, and heaven with 32 allies—less about cozy connections and more about thrilling battles, yet surely intriguing.
Right now, Spiritfarer boasts a whopping 90% discount until Thursday, March 20, bringing the price down to just $2.99 / £2.49 on Steam. You can snag your copy [here].
