I've been playing this game called Spiritfarer, and it is just the most heart-warming, and heart-breaking game that I have played in a while.
The premise of the game, is that you are the new Spiritfarer. Charon has retired, and has passed on to the afterlife, and you must now travel the world, finding lost souls (who are all anthropomorphic animals), and help complete their unfinished business, before helping them pass on.
The gameplay is a cross between something like Animal Crossing (but with much more depth), and Stardew Valley (but without quite so much depth). It is a nice middle ground. Mostly, you spend your time speaking to your passengers, building your boat-village, growing crops, playing minigames, and doing fetch-quests. The gameplay doesn't sound like the most engaging thing in the world, but for whatever reason, it has me hooked.
Where the game really succeeds though, is in the art, the writing, and the music. I have cried twice playing this game, and Im not even mad.
This song is pretty much etched into my brain now.
Im so close to finishing the game. I have two passengers left to go, and I wouldn't be surprised if I can add another tick to the amount of times that I have cried, before then.
