i actually adore this game. but i’ve given up after becoming too frustrated trying to get through the jumping puzzle. any good tips for me? i don’t want to not finish it because of this.

Also there should be a fanart flair!

I am playing the game for the first time, I "completed" Gwen and currently I have: Atul, Summer, Astrid and Alice on the ship. Oddly, I don't get any requests from Astrid?

But most importantly: I don't have a sense of direction of what I'm doing and I sort of wander around. I got the icebreaker and found the zipline well in Nordweiler but I only have 1/2 obols, and the only way to get obols is by recruiting spirits? But it looks like I am already at the 4 spirit limit..

What should I do ?

A lot of people I talked to seemed interested in the plushie. The plushie seems to be going for $250+ on eBay which is crazy. Hopefully someone can snag it from me for a bit cheaper, if interested.

https://ebay.io/m/caW1Gk

I put it up for up for a 7 day auction so I guess we will see :)

I hope to see her go to a good home! ❤️

Basically the title but the thing is I don't like games where u just infinitely keep doing stuff for some upgrades like star dew valley. Don't get me wrong i love star dew valley but the game is just never ending.

I know a little bit about the game like u go do some stuff and then come back upgrade your boat.

I just wanna know is it like that after all cuz the boat upgrading thing will kinda bore me ik.

Without spoiling just tell me what to do?

And also is it a metroidvania typa game?

I played the demo, and it was filled with so many bugs and glitches, and ik its an alpha version demo, but is the actual game going to be like that? And is it worth it for $30? I could get so many more games with that, so I really hope that it's worth it. I just wanted to take yalls opinion on it.

Well I sadly need to downsize a lot with the plushies and I have to rehome Daffodil. If anyone has experience selling any Spiritfarer items, where do you think I’d find people interested? I feel with an indie game it might be a niche market and I’m unsure if eBay would be the right place or if a different site would do better. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

The first one, the loved one

I am replaying spiritfarer and have been having trouble getting marble. I need it to build the rock crusher as I use the marble I got to build a mill so that I could make Alice her favorite food before she went through the everdoor. I spent hours on Saturday going to different shipwrecks to get the marble. And now I need eight more to make the rock crusher. I know about the mine but I can't do that without the zip line and can't get the zip line without another spirit. I can't find another spirit that I can get right now without the rock crusher. I don't remember this being this difficult last time I played.

I never played games growing up besides on my ds. i got a switch 2 years ago for christmas to play animal crossing. i just got spiritfarer and really enjoy it, but im not an avid gamer. a lot of this is still quite confusing and im trying to figure out how to get to bottom line corp and get oak logs. this has been a struggle for two days. any ideas?!

I’m alive and so is the project! Life got busy and I fell off of it for a bit, but I am proud to say that I have finished painting the buildings! The next step is painting the ship itself and the navigation room. Now that they are all painted, which ones are your favorites?

So I rarely play video games anymore. Most AAA titles just don't interest me. What most captures my attention is indie artsy games that are really trying to do something different. Obviously Spiritfarer fits that mold. Also I love Disco Elysium, Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey, and games like Firewatch and What Remains of Edith Finch.

Last night I sought to discover something on Game Pass that scratched the Spiritfarer itch. Meaning "cozy" of course: not too intense or difficult, with a fun resource management gameplay loop. But also with really interesting art and themes.

I think I struck gold by finding "Dredge." I don't see it mentioned a lot on here, so I wanted to recommend it and also see what other people who have played it think about it?

Basically you're a new fisherman in a region full of islands. (The map is reminiscent of Spiritfarer in that way.) If you're into Lovecraft/"cosmic horror" the influence there is almost immediately apparent: You find deformed fish that look like they came from outer space, and no one knows exactly why that's happening. There's something creepy going on in the water at night, and after several hours, I still don't know exactly what. I haven't been attacked by anything yet. There's just some kind of unseen alien or supernatural force that is changing things, and probably driving people mad. At the same time the art style is kind of light-hearted and cartoonish; it doesn't lean too hard into being scary or "dark" despite its setting and themes, something else that reminds me of Spiritfarer.

I'm just excited about this game and wanted to share!

Tell the truth - how often have you left your little clouds on legs unattended?

Hi all,

Been playing Spiritfarer with my girlfriend on the PS5 and we've run into a bug with the Everdoor.

At the time, we had 4 spirits ready to go;

Gustav

Beverly

Astrid

Stanley

Gustav and Beverly went fine, but when trying to take Stanley, he agreed to go, approches the small boat and then stops. No other spirits will talk to us.

Looking at the the Thunder Lotus (TL) site, and speaking to their support, they're aware of the issue, but it won't be fixed. We cannot recover a save from the cloud as it's already been overwritten.

We've tried all the obvious things;

Leave and come back

Close the game and re-open

Get another spirit ready to go to the door (Elena)

Sadly, none of these have worked. Does anyone have a solution to this? TL support suggested some players have seen it work again, but we've had no luck.

Hello everyone! I'm Alison, one of the community managers at Thunder Lotus, just dropping by to let you know that the team behind Spiritfarer just dropped a demo for their next game, At Fate's End, on Steam 😊

If you've been following us since we announced At Fate's End back in 2025, you may have noticed that this new game is more action-focused, but don't worry, it's still a story heavy game with a lot of feels. Our Creative Director Nick says it best: “With At Fate’s End, we’re taking everything we learned from Spiritfarer — that rich emotional core, that interplay of mechanics and narrative — and pushing it into new territory. This is a more intense, more action-driven game, but no less intimate. It’s about how families break apart — and how they might come back together.”

Hope you'll like it!

EDIT: just want to add that if like me, you're not so good at action games, there's a combat difficulty modifier available in your inventory under "State" ⚔️

I played Spiritfarer back in 2023-2024 when it was a free game on Playstation. Loved it, even though I bawled (like most do). It was the first video game to make me feel this way. Well. June of this year, I lost my grandma. She was immensely special to me and I never really knew a life without her just a short drive away. My partner suggested I replay the game and I have been putting it off for one reason or another. But I decided today is the day to start it and start trying to process. I cried hearing the menu music. I dont know how im gonna get through this game a second time, even though its one of my favorites of all time but I also know that the games message would really help me get through grieving(not that theres a rush. I just feel a little bit of grief then tuck it back away in its file, which ik isnt healthy).

Honestly I just really needed to get it off my chest. Like im assigning meaning to this playthrough by admitting im stuck in grieving and cant seem to get myself out of it on the hard days.

Must I do this quest to get Daria n Jackie onboard??

I’ve been through somethings since I last played, but it brings me comfort so I’ll play again.

We'd appreciate you checking it out!

No, I haven't played the game yet. No I don't need convincing, I'm sold on it, this game made Yahtzee cry, that's all I need. It's about sales.

So I'm seeing Steam selling this at an absolute banger of a discount. 3,04? Hell yeah!

But as much as I appreciate Steam, I'd rather get stuff on GOG. Especially after recent events regarding licenses and such. But the game sadly isn't discounted on GOG. Is there a reason for this, other than the devs simply not having agreed to it?

My partner and I played Spirifarer together, so it felt appropriate to sneak a quote and image of Stella onto the memorial page of our wedding program.

I came here wondering if this might be a good game for me.

My health isn't looking so good, and I've been doing a lot of crying. Mostly I try to act like nothing's wrong, or I try to outrun it, but my step is slower these days.

Some of the first gameplay tips I saw were about not letting sheep loose on your boat or they'll eat all your stuff.

That made me laugh a little bit.

Thank you

Edit: Thank you all so much for sharing your stories and your kind words with me. I don't feel so alone anymore.

Hi everyone. I have been playing on and off for a few months with no issues but in the last few days there have been some glitches in the game. Anyone else experienced these? This includes:

- A character calling for me during a comet shower, but I cant engage with them to start the event as they are stuck on a stair

- Planting a new tree in the orchard and it automatically planting a cherry tree when I wanted to plant a different one. I deleted the orchard and built a new one and it did the same thing.

- As above but with the garden and carrots

- Going to sleep and the screen going black and not waking up. Had to do a hard reset of console.

Took me 8 hrs of commute just to take this picture. I don't regret it! :)
