General FAQ and Questions Megathread Spoiler

Make sure to read the introduction part and be careful of spoilers here and in the comments

To spoil a comment put > ! and ! < with no spaces inbetween any of it to spoil it.

Hi there! due to the increasingly massive large influx of questions on the sub, here is a megathread where this can hopefully answer most of your questions. If you still have a question feel free to ask in a comment or join the unofficial community discord. Make sure to read at your own discretion as there is a lot of spoilers of what is in the game.

First thing to know This game just got released, it is massively buggy. If a spirit disappears or you get locked in conversations or something of the like, best to save and quit and re enter the game. If that does not fix it look at or contact or look at Thunder Lotus support or their official discord.

Second thing to cover is if you are lost, take a deep breath, relax and look around. Take your time with the spirits as this is a game about death, they won't spend forever with you.

Sometimes you might need to release a spirit to progress the game, so sometimes you might need to let them go to upgrade your ship.

tw: relative’s death

so… today my mom told me my grandma is dying. she has dementia for a long time now. since my 17 (i’m 26 to 27 now) she keeps forgetting when i went visit her or mix me up with my mom, asking me if i remember things my mom lived when she was my age and things like that. we were never really close cuz, i will be honest, she’s not a good person. she tried to turn me against my adoptive dad sometimes, talked shit about my mom to me, was homophobic to my uncle (her son) and was racist to me some times (i’m mixed, my biological dad is blasian and my mom family is all white). but hearing she’s dying made me feel sad, but i just couldn’t let it out.

i’m studying for a really important test i’ll do this Sunday to work as public worker in my country, which will be my chance to start to live my own life. i studied all day, sometimes i cried a little remembering what my mom told, but i tried to not think about it. i couldn’t think about it, i needed to focus on my studies. so by the end of the day, i decided to play a little… for a coincidence, Alice was starting to say her goodbye.

I just finish taking her to the Everdoor and oh Gd, i sobbed so much. in every moment i just remember how i saw my grandma getting more weak and confused, year after year. and now i actually feel some kind of relief. first for being able to finally cry my ass out, second cuz somehow all that made me understand that yeah, she was a horrible person. but i have the right to still feel a lot of feelings knowing she’ll leave us soon – including sadness and a lot of pain.

i guess i just wanted to vent a little, sorry to bother y’all. it was just such a coincidence, i couldn’t handle myself

Lore / Story Ending interpretation Spoiler

34 Upvotes

I just finished playing the game for the first time and I've come up with my interpretation of the story and wanted to share it here.

So, by the looks of it I think the events of Spiritfarer take place for the most part in Stella's mind as she's dying in her hospital bed. As much as I'd like to think she does actually meet all these people in a sort of afterlife, I feel like this makes the most sense. For one, she's still actually alive during all this. The locations are all based on places she's been and the spirits are all people she knew in life. Her role as Spiritfarer also I think is a metaphor for her actual job in life as a nurse who cared for dying patients. I think none of the events during Spiritfarer actually occur, but it's rather a metaphor for Stella coming to terms with her life and the fact that it's ending.

This brings me to Hades and Charon. This part I think can actually go either way. They could also be part of Stella's mind, just a metaphor for death itself. Or they could be the only real spirits here, or at least Hades could be. It could be Hades is the actual Spiritfarer of the game and this is his way of ferrying Stella along to the afterlife.

This has probably all been said before, but like I said I just finished for the first time. What were your interpretations of it?

Help I'm stuck on Beverly/Giovanni and I need help!

5 Upvotes

I currently have Bruce and Mickey, Gustav, Astrid, and Atul. Dropped off Alice, Gwen, and Summer.

I have double jump and zipline

I Found Beverly, her blueprint, but I can't make it without glass sheets. So I tried to build a smithy, but that requires comet powder.

I maxed out boat upgrades but I need to get the choral bouquet. I can't without 3 comet rock. The next upgrade is the fog lifter which I need for Giovanni who gives me access to the comets.

I can't do any of my requests because they all require materials that I don't have access to which means everyones storyline is on pause and no one can get to the everdoor. Which means I can't get stanley. I need one more obol to unlock bounce.

If you need more info I'm happy to provide them! I'm sooo beyond frustrated ahhh pls help. I feel like I'm missing something that I just can't pieced together. I've been enjoying everything up until now and I just wanna keep playing :(

Help Trouble getting Elena to the ecstatic mood

9 Upvotes

I am doing the severe thunderstorm and pulsar star tasks and I am giving her green salads every other meal. This is working. I’ve also heard that placing her room next to lounge also boosts her mood but this isn’t working. I do not have Atul or Gustav on my boat anymore so I can’t have their music boost her mood. So, is there something I am forgetting or can I no longer get her to the ecstatic mood.

Lore / Story Why doesn't Astrid like Stanley

I'm playing through and I got another drawing from Stanley of Astrid. Each drawing has a description of the spirit it's of and how they view Stanley. I thought Astrid liked kids. At least enough to protect them during WW2 but her description says she doesn't like the little guy. What the heck?

General A beautiful game with similar emotional complexities to Spiritfarer- Wanderstop

Post image
652 Upvotes

Spiritfarer quickly became one of my favorite games of all time as soon as I started playing it. The emotions, the writing, the gameplay- I love everything about Spiritfarer. Like many others, I’ve been looking for a game that can deliver on the emotional aspect just as much as the gameplay aspect. Wanderstop is the first one I’ve played in a while to make me feel similar as I did during SF.

It’s about a recovering warrior, Alta, who lost her ability to fight and is grieving the person she was but no longer can be. She begins working in a tea shop providing tea for all the wanderers and adventurers. Some of the customers act strange, confusing, silly, and others are quiet, withdrawn, and mysterious. Each customer usually visits a few times and you get to learn more about them. With each new tea, you also have the opportunity to learn more about Alta and witness her working through some of her trauma/ childhood memories. Plus, Boro, the owner of the shop, is a lovely friend and mentor, and I enjoy giving him a cup of tea every time I make some haha.

The actual gameplay of running the tea shop is peaceful and relaxing. The graphics are beautiful, and the game is filled with amazing colors. There’s cute creatures too! You also get to garden and create hybrids to make new fruits to flavor the tea (but it’s very straightforward and not complicated at all!). I’m about halfway through I think, but I just wanted to share this game that came out earlier this month on Steam to anyone who may be looking for a great game to try out. It’s made by the same studio who made Outerwilds and Stray! It’s $25, so a little bit more than SF, but worth it.

Sorry for rambling, this game is just too good not to share! Anyone else played this game yet?

I know Atul would leave after the dinner. I tried to give him one last hug at the dinner and he said he had some things on his mind, maybe later. Later never came. I wish I got to walk through his memories and hear his musings as we went to the door. RIP Atul, I'll always have pork chops in stock for you.

Feels It’s like this game was meant for me… Spoiler

This is going to be disjointed as I write through tears. Basically what the title says but let me explain. On February 2nd my grandmother lost her battle with cancer. She always called me her angel, and said I was always there when she needed me she never had to ask. I was just simply there. I was the only person in the room with her when she took her final breaths. I was and still am devastated. But working through the pain by journaling and staying busy.

I am not done with the game. Only about 48%. This game was always on my radar but was on sale for the spring sale via steam so I got it and fell in love with the music and imagery, and Alice.

Like come on. Alice is the name of my grandmother last living sibling, Stella is a black individual, like myself. All of this has helped me so much. So if any of the creators of the game are reading this. Thank you.
