I finished this game a few minutes ago, before watching this video.. Spiritfare actually made me reprocess the death of my father (that happened one year ago) in a very beautiful way. I always avoided thinking about what happened because it hurts to remember, but this game actually allow me think of it in a way that doesn't hurt anymore. . it's such a simple game but it connected to me in a deep way. That's was beautiful.
One thing I think is worth mentioning is that there are (if I'm remembering right) eleven spirits, but you get the quest to take Stella and Daffodil to the Everdoor after eight spirits pass through it. I remember my first time playing this game, I wanted to make sure *everything* was in order before I took Stella and Daffodil. Almost like I wasn't ready to accept it. But that quest was always there, looming over me. Inevitable, like death itself. It's a very subtle way to get the message across that death is a part of us. That it's not something you can avoid. At least, not forever. So once I got all my quests done, I made sure I had no more tasks being done (like in the mill or food being cooked), gave all my memories one last hug, asked Buck to take care of the boat, and bawled my eyes out when Stella and Daffodil finally allowed themselves to rest. It still gets me bawling every time. I do struggle with the concept of death, but this game has helped with that a lot. I know it won't get easier for a while, since I'm still in my 20s, but I think I'm better equipped for it later in life because of this game. Thank you for the fantastic video on this beautiful piece of art!
I played through this game shortly before my best friend unexpectedly passed away at age 21, and having played this game has helped me tremendously throughout the grieving process. It has enabled me to let go of him in a way that I wouldn't have been able to before I played this game. This game is single handedly responsible for changing my outlook on death in a positive way. Everything comes to an end.
Something that I noticed while playing the game is that some of the islands in-game either share their names with, or have names resembling places mentioned in Stella’s past, further proving it all takes place in Stella’s head.
Criminally under-viewed video. I worked in cancer and dementia wards during covid when I played this and the game keeps coming back to me. That’s for discussing it in a really fitting and succinct way. (Only gripe is you didn’t mention best boi Alex and their wonderful tunes.)
Taking Stella and Dafodill to the everdoor is basically like saying goodbye to the game as you would have finished it after. And so it took me months to pick the game back up and finish it as i didn't want it to end. But i loved every single moment of this game and i love all the characters so much!🥺🥺
You’re so right. I noticed that as I was playing through the game I was slowing down and finding reasons to delay the ending. It really does make you dread saying goodbye because you know what’s coming and you want to save Stella just that bit longer. But therein lies the truth: death can’t be avoided. As Summer says, all things end.
i played this game one day blind. I was never really into the farming and managment style of games, i'm mostly a technical gamer who plays games like factorio, from the depths or cosmoteer. I decided to branch out and play a game a little bit out of my standard genres. A friend of mine told me to try it on my PC cause I had a cruddy little laptop at the moment and it was the only thing that it could run on. I never really read the store page of indie games on steam, I just mostly look at the genre and say "That seems like a good fit for me" and buy it. I was not expecting this The beutifully somber setting. The art style, cozy and beautiful. The environment dripping with delicate care. And the music is beyond words. I got sucked into the story immediately. I was managing the crops to maximize the amount of things I could sell, I started playing like a technical player at first, but at some point i stopped myself because i realized i was making the people unhappy by negleticting their well being, so i focused more on that, slowed down what i was doing and stopped trying to rush to the end. I feel that's a pretty good metaphor for how i started to see this game as a mirror of my life. I was so worried in my life for getting money and trying to set thing up for the future and make sure my life was going to be absoloutly set up, that i forgot something. I forgot that my life isn't in the future. It's now And that was the first thing this game made me realize. I don't need to rush through and min max everything. Sometimes you just need to sit down and just look around. Just feel your life. Live it. There is so much more that iwant to talk about this game, but it would be a whole book. All i gotta say is this game is important enough to me that i'm going to get stella, daffodil, and all the spirit flowers tattooed on my leg
This game has a massive effect on me when I played it and I sat here bordering on tears for most of this video. Thank you for making this, you did an amazing job!
I got this game a week ago and have spent most nights since up until 3 playing it. This video does a great job of capturing exactly what makes it so special! Incredible work!!
I love this game. I've done hospice and palliative nursing and it's so hard, but I love it. This game hit home and Alice had me ugly crying, because I knew so many like her.
Hidden gem of a youtuber. I hopeyou make more videos man, on games like observer which I think you'd do good on explaining the story and the aspects surrounding it.
After completing it myself a year ago and can’t get it out of my head, especially Atul and Stanley’s arcs. I told two of my nieces about this game, they lost her dad (my uncle) when they where young. One of them told me today she was struggling with it still, teared me up inside and I KNOW this experience will help them somewhat. They texted me they both started it today. Good luck on the journey ladies, I genuinely hope this amazing game helps
@@rhiality they both finished the game, both had very emotional moments with certain spirits. It gave them a sort of piece, like they were able to close a book or something. So it was an emotional but satisfying experience for them both. After they finished it, they thanked me and said the game really did help them.
This game was one if few that made me cry. It reminded me of my pappy who passed away, doing Alice quest... it actually helped me through that grief somehow..? Idk. The game somehow helps you through that and understand it is a part of life. It shows everyone has to let go and Understand everyone will go at some point. You can't stop time but you can enjoy the time you have left. No matter how fast it goes
right after i finished Spiritfarer, i needed an explained video of it (because i have no braincells). you delivered just that PLUS a beautifully written piece on grief and loss. so glad i watched your video
i had bought this game a month ago and am slowly playing it, mostly because letting the characters go would make me cry for hours and i would be so tired. It’s helped me realize things about loss and how i’ve handled it and who i’ve lost. I am nearing the end, wanting to complete all the quests and things for everyone here, but i feel that i won’t be ready to let Stella go even when she’s ready. But this commentary really made me see it all completely and i am back to crying but it’s so worth it 😭😭
One thing I adore about Spiritfarer is its depiction of Hades. To my knowledge, Hades is never depicted as something other than a discount Satan, which is unfair because that's distinctly not what he is. He embodies death and the underworld as a whole, but Hades cannot be evil because he appropriately cares for and houses every single soul, good bad and ugly. His design in Spiritfarer feels much less like he's a dickwad imprisoned by Zeus and more like a neutral being who is larger than life and knows you're afraid of it, for good reason. Much more of "stand in awe, you will never hold a candle to my power" and far less of "I'm a grumpy old dude who punishes bad people." Which I welcome wholeheartedly. Game could have done with an ability to automate some things, though. At least far earlier than you're able to. Spiritfarer's one of those games that markets itself as a cozy, casual farming/management game but once you're in the thick of it, you're up to your teeth in things to do. I sat there wishing I had another set of hands doing things for me cause you've got to feed everybody different things, hug them, smelt ores, make fabric, water crops, harvest crops, forge metal sheets, manage where your ship is headed, cook food and fish. I know otherwise you'd have fuck all to do when your ship is moving across the map, but it really can get hectic at times, more than it feels right for this game.
Brilliant essay. A year after finishing the game, I spent the weekend coming back to 100% it. Happy to have found your essay to put a bow on such an impactful experience.
What an incredible game. You see I have an incredibly large fear of Death, and even though I still have that issue but this game helped me start to move forward
Woah how am I only seeing this now . This video is incredible and genuinely moved me to tears . A brilliant video that I could listen to forever truly moving in every way.
I’m glad you covered this, I love spiritfarer since I’ve been surrounding by it’s hand on my shoulder all my life. This game let me have peace and your video is a reminder of that comfort
that was an exceptional video man. Thank you very much. Great edit and loved the ending. Just finished the game an hour ago and needless to say i'm devastated. Well, i guess everyone is after finishing it. Godayum.
I couldn't finish this game. I got to the hedgehog and that was too much for me because my grandpa had Alzheimer's and dementia (not too terrible, but he had forgotten me a few times) when he passed (he died of heart failure at 85). So that was a bit TOO much for me. I couldn't do it. Got tired of explaining to my family why I was crying (I cried with most every spirit)
I just finished this game a bit ago and just wasnt ready to say goodbye and needed more content. Stumbled upon this video at 2am and i just want to say, thank you.
This just makes me think that Daffodil may actually just be Charon. They're with you the whole time on your journey, it would make sense in my head at least.
What a thoughtful and meaningful commentary!! Thank you for putting this together-truly, this is my favorite video game-your attention to detail is unrivaled! Please review more games!!!
I did not think watch a overview of Spiritfarer after I play it would make me cry just as much as when I finished the game 😭 this was sooo well made, amazing job.
i really love this, a lot of things made Spiritfarer unique and wonderful and its hit me again now i've just replayed it with the DLC on top i had my eye on it for a while but the game actually released at a really shit point in my life and 2 days after i had to put the family pet i had moved out with to sleep. i played it like a distraut maniac for nearly 3 solid weeks, and yeah i cried a lot when i finished it and yeah that whole period still hurts to think about, but i was a lot better off for this game giving me a chance to think it over. had a shit time lately, faced up to it and replayed the last few weeks to see the DLC content .. finished last night crying and holding onto my now two year old cat, and the catharsis is back too great breakdown and commentary, and does justice to what it set out for c: i hope more people give it a chance too
Out of any game I've played, this one is always the hardest one for me to play and get through Friends and loved ones that I never got to say goodbye to And that makes it even harder to say goodbye to the characters in this game when they're ready to go
This was very well done and I appreciate the ending scene. I have played the game to completion before, so It made me tear up to see that again. it’s a welcome sadness, thank you.
I had this one in my Watch Later list for a while and went to watch it immediately when I completed the game. And I was not disappointed! There's so many stories that I felt like I only halfway understood, I'd love to hear you talk more about the individual characters and share your interpretation of their stories (especially considering the hours you poured into this game!) ❤️
The algorithm has led me here, and even tho I finished the game, devoured the wiki, and read the concept art book, this video was a delight to watch. My only advice is drop the swears a bit, I cannot share this video with my internet grandma!
Thank you for a great video. I absolutely loved playing this game. I think the game is perfect! The score, the mechanics, storylines, art, themes, residual after play affect, it is lovely and perfect and sadly very under rated. I highly recommend The Gardens Between if you enjoyed Spiritfarer.
What a great video you've put together! Thank you so much, I was really touched by this videogame and I've been looking for a video just like this one. Loved it
I RARELY Comment on vids, but this video... especially the end part of it just triggered a feeling in myself. I usually do not put much care into death itself.. sometimes I refuse and decline to talk about it or even think about it. but after touching this game, it gave me a new meaning of death.. a positive one for sure :D
a very good review. A bit long on some aspects like (death in general in the computergame industrie) a bit short on others like (grinding in game vs. the feeling of creating loss and sadness for losing someone/ and then the big huge conclusio that the hole game is just a dream of a "real" person dying and its just her own memorys on the way to the afterlife(huge emotional brainbomb)) but still realy, realy good^^. Keep up the great work and Thx
I absolutely love Spiritfarer ❤️ and this is such a beautiful video about it. I haven't finished the game because I've found some of the platforming to be too difficult (I'm stuck on Daria) as I am not much of a gamer, but I started a new save to keep practicing the skills so hopefully I can finish it someday.
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I bought the game, because I liked the cover and text on the back. When my boyfriend showed me a video about it we were like... nahhh this doesn't look fun, but you're explaining made me love the game before I even tried it! 🍀👉🏻❤️👈🏻🍀
I had PTSD after playing Ori and the Blind Forest, then got hit with this game. I kinda disagree with you though about Stella's trip through the Everdoor being less impactful because of the lack of dialogue. It actually felt very real to be quietly paddling along to the Everdoor because there was no one left to talk to; she was all alone. No one to express philosophy about life, regrets, etc. Just silently knowing it was time, giving your kitty one last hug, then going through the Everdoor.
I completed spiritfarer just a few days ago and ive been hoping that their world lives on after stella passes, since well it was like everyone's end just rowing to the everdoor closing her book. I cant help but think about her boat, I wonder if the next spiritfarer will use it
well i dont like this game because my taste is little bit diffrent but i really appriciate your efforts to explain this game and i really appreciate your explaination
A suggestion I have on a VERY good game that came out. I think you should tackle OMORI. It’s a psychological horror game that will definitely give you your money’s worth in one hell of an emotional experience (I will warn you there are multiple endings)
interesting take, I hadn't thought about it like that. I see the spirit forms existing in more of a limbo state, until they pass on 'for good' through the everdoor. But immortality would definitely make the goodbyes easier to handle 😛
I think the entire world of Spiritfarer is actually a world of memories and thoughts created by Stella's mind. She is afraid of death, and the only thing she can do is to remember the people that she loved and died before her, because the memories of their death help her to not fear her own death.

💙💙 stay strong friend. there are no constants, we are all passers by. impermanence is what makes us human.
I bet u cried and reminiscing about your friend at least ONCE when u played the game. Am I correct?
@@MidnightJazzLoungevibe Oh that's for sure. Especially since certain characters reminded me of him in different ways

It's an emotional journey. Glad you enjoyed :)
I WAS ALREADY CRYING DAMMIT
YOU MADE IT WORSE
better?
idk, thanks for the video though heh
I couldn't finish this game. I got to the hedgehog and that was too much for me because my grandpa had Alzheimer's and dementia (not too terrible, but he had forgotten me a few times) when he passed (he died of heart failure at 85).
So that was a bit TOO much for me. I couldn't do it. Got tired of explaining to my family why I was crying (I cried with most every spirit)

had a shit time lately, faced up to it and replayed the last few weeks to see the DLC content .. finished last night crying and holding onto my now two year old cat, and the catharsis is back too
great breakdown and commentary, and does justice to what it set out for c:

I usually do not put much care into death itself.. sometimes I refuse and decline to talk about it or even think about it. but after touching this game, it gave me a new meaning of death.. a positive one for sure :D
I just finished the game and loved this video!! So well done with some great funny bits. The credits 😂
thanks Christina! 😁
so glad i found this gem of a youtube channel! loved this video, conveyed all my feelings of spiritfarer perfectly
I simply loved it, thank you so much for this video.
This was a great essay and good watch! You write well and the editing is nice. Keep it up!
This is one of the most unique games I’ve ever played. Only similar vibe I can think of was the movie What Dreams May Come.
Beautifully done video my friend
This made me cry out of realization of life itself.
a very good review. A bit long on some aspects like (death in general in the computergame industrie) a bit short on others like (grinding in game vs. the feeling of creating loss and sadness for losing someone/ and then the big huge conclusio that the hole game is just a dream of a "real" person dying and its just her own memorys on the way to the afterlife(huge emotional brainbomb)) but still realy, realy good^^. Keep up the great work and Thx
Thank you for this, i was looking for a video to see if i should buy it. After your video, i bought it. :)
Subscribed! Wishing you all the success, absolutely loved this video ☺️

Great commentary friend :)
tytyty 🧡
I absolutely love Spiritfarer ❤️ and this is such a beautiful video about it. I haven't finished the game because I've found some of the platforming to be too difficult (I'm stuck on Daria) as I am not much of a gamer, but I started a new save to keep practicing the skills so hopefully I can finish it someday.
The hot fuzz clip was 11/10
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I bought the game, because I liked the cover and text on the back.
When my boyfriend showed me a video about it we were like... nahhh this doesn't look fun, but you're explaining made me love the game before I even tried it!
🍀👉🏻❤️👈🏻🍀
You fucked me up with that in memory of 😵 new subbie! 🔥
I had PTSD after playing Ori and the Blind Forest, then got hit with this game. I kinda disagree with you though about Stella's trip through the Everdoor being less impactful because of the lack of dialogue. It actually felt very real to be quietly paddling along to the Everdoor because there was no one left to talk to; she was all alone. No one to express philosophy about life, regrets, etc. Just silently knowing it was time, giving your kitty one last hug, then going through the Everdoor.
I never thought I could cry because of a game 😢
This video is so incredibly well done
thank you! :)
Great video sir!!! Thanks
i wil not lie but when i finished the game i was a bit confused but because of you now i know many things i didn't know
I completed spiritfarer just a few days ago and ive been hoping that their world lives on after stella passes, since well it was like everyone's end just rowing to the everdoor closing her book. I cant help but think about her boat, I wonder if the next spiritfarer will use it
ah yeah, would have been nice if we saw the role of Spiritfarer being passed on to the next soul (could have hinted at a sequel, too!)
Did someone call Gustav an art "collector"? I can already hear the poor man crying.
More like he will rip his ear off for HALF OF THE DAY.
Please do more spiritfarer content 💫
consider it done :)
Thank you for this video
Good video
Beautiful
I COOKED ALL THE RECIPES 😁
it's the greatest feeling
well i dont like this game because my taste is little bit diffrent but i really appriciate your efforts to explain this game and i really appreciate your explaination
A suggestion I have on a VERY good game that came out. I think you should tackle OMORI. It’s a psychological horror game that will definitely give you your money’s worth in one hell of an emotional experience (I will warn you there are multiple endings)
Ive never had some one im close to die but spirt farer made me cry at alice is death since shes very similsre to my grandmother without the dementia
Very nice
I don't get how this game is about death, or why the spirits are upset or sad. They're alive and immortal. This is a game about immortality.
interesting take, I hadn't thought about it like that. I see the spirit forms existing in more of a limbo state, until they pass on 'for good' through the everdoor. But immortality would definitely make the goodbyes easier to handle 😛
I think the entire world of Spiritfarer is actually a world of memories and thoughts created by Stella's mind. She is afraid of death, and the only thing she can do is to remember the people that she loved and died before her, because the memories of their death help her to not fear her own death.
Jackie farewell??? is it possible?
❤❤❤
Is this a game? I really wanna play it
great video but... 160 hours of spiritfarer? you're insane
