At this point, we know that each upgrade requires specific items collected from various locations in this world. Our next trip is to Albert’s Shipyard for boat upgrades, which includes everything from speed boosts, to light additions, and to enlarge the vessel. Though, later on, each character will want their own. Getting rid of the boxes and leftover items serve to build a guest house for new passengers. No matter, we are thrown into the thick of things with Charon’s boat, a special light granting us powers, and our first passenger kicks things off.īefore we can progress, we have to tidy up the boat. ![]() This is a surprise because all the other characters change forms where we do not. We are introduced to Charon at the beginning and he is exactly what we expect. After playing through this charming and disheartening title, I feel relieved that the subject of death is handled with care, especially since I struggle with certain people’s passing. Players learn that each person has demons to confront before they reach the Everdoor, the portal to the afterlife. Spiritfarer is a game that lets players take the place of Charon who ferries souls between the living and the spirit worlds. It turned what should of been a bitter sweet triumph into just a frustrating slog.Spiritfarer by developer and publisher Thunder Lotus Games-PC (Steam) Review written by Susan N. Having him randomly fished out of the sea is demeaning and needlessly obtuse. Really though, you should get Stanley through a treasure map mailed to you around when you finish up the preceeding zone. Francis should have a triggered dialogue at some point, too. Bruce should give you a hint when you get the preceding upgrade, and a stronger hijtn by mail if you don't trigger it. If it has to be a triggered event, we need more BPC dialogue queues. It is pretty obvious that little thought was put into when you will need it and what you will be doing at that point. and randomly decided to fish.ĭon't get me wrong, I love the event and the spirit but gating the last zone behind it is silly, especially when the point you need to cross over you likely have 4 spirits and can't trigger it anyway. The only reason I managed to trigger it was because I noticed the northern snow storms were the only storm area without an associated resource event and was spending multiple day/night cycles trying to find something. It really ruins the whimsical exploration feel and starts making it feel like an old school JRPG grind. especially when no spirits on board were consuming fish (and one actively disliked it). Now, by this point I'd done a fair bit of fishing, and I had a spirit who had given me heaps more fish, so I had absolutely no reason to fish any more. I spent 6 hours of my 25 hour playtime methodically searching for whatever thing I've clearly missed, since i had two spirits clamouring for me to get it -one for a quest, one for a house. Maybe it's like Bright Jelly's, but I can't find the right event for that either. You start thinking, maybe it's like Bottled Lightning. ![]() I only planted the fished one because the game prompted me that it was important.Įvery other gated resource is clearly marked or intuitive to find, but B.E. In theory you can get him from Francis as well, but I'd bought 30+ from him and just gotten junk, and by the point I had a spare slot on board the profit from the seeds was insignificant. This is probably too late in the Spiritfarer life cycle, but the way the last zone is gated behind Bottled Ectoplasm really ruins the pacing if the last third if you aren't fishing.
