oh hey this is pretty goo- LEARN TO SAY GOODBYE me, now sobbing: yep im sold
This is why I’m buying the game
Right!?
This game is amazing, I hope you got it!
Well learning to say goodbye should be taught in school or something since everyone of us loses someone at one time or another and not all of us know how to deal with it. I'm sold.
Ikr I’m definitely picking this one up
This game has one flaw: *You can only hug each person once per day*
But hug your cat unlimited times.
And it’s also extremely glitchy
WHAT
@@chickentenders697 no it’s not
@@frankq09 i’ve literally played through the game on xbox one and i’ve gotten stuck in the first area because my jump glitched, i’ve gotten animations that stopped halfway and i’ve gotten softlocked when trying to talk to people.
Guys, this is the game for chilling and crying. I AM IN
It seems almost as sad as Ori
Preach
C' mon game-- you want me to experience the feeling of Woody and Buzz parting ways AGAIN!!! So not cool! But the visuals and the calmness, and everything is amazing
@@macewindu4165 Ori isn't really about chilling
Neo2266 I mean it’s got a great and deep story
Imagine having to make a funeral for you favorite animal crossing character, this is the feeling I got from that last part in the video.
You'll get that a lot in the game too. Its fantastic.
Honestly, I don't care admitting that I got choked up and cried a little. The art and music to manage that so fast last time was Ori 1. (BEFORE the intro!)
Would jump for joy if Punchy was there. Even K.K. Punchy = Stanley in this game.
Hi jill, make a beer
@@razortxt2372 hey
It's fine a 3 minute game trailer just made me cry.
A trailer for a 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 game, no less. Me too!
Same here!
I felt that hard
Glad it's not just me
@@letsdancetojoydiv definitely not just you! I was watching the trailer in absolute wonder, because of the amazing art direction and animation, and then when it said it was about dying and I realized what was happening, then the FEELS came. Wowow, I must play this.
I'm conflicted because I don't think my heart could handle sending the spirits away after befriending them
Nathan Eaton-Benterud You don’t have to say goodbye if you go out before them :’)
KaraKara ....woah
@Nathan Eaton-Benterud people really do come and go as they please. Just the way life is i suppose
@@Hikarahime but won't they be saying goodbye to you?
MrTophatreaper Maybe, but you won’t be. That’s what I said
"And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, as equals, they departed this life."
Harry Potter right?
@@arqamislam3877 The man who own the invisible cloak. After giving the cloak to his son.
"Spiritfarer® is a cozy management game about dying. " Wait, what ???
This got a chuckle out of me
Didn’t expect this kind of comment. 10/10 would laugh again
People actually think youre joking and it is literally the description for the game on Steam
Hol up
“An incredibly soothing experience.”
I bought and downloaded the game yesterday and I have to say: It is so relaxing. The characters are quirky and unique - they have very well written dialogue. The animations of the characters and models are fantastic, they’re very smooth and almost make me forget that they’re not real. Crafting is fairly simplistic and not too overbearing - you can do everything at your own pace. So far I haven’t found a complaint yet with this game. EDIT: Be careful reading the replies they do contain slight spoilers.
Same. Though the only crafting mechanic I have a problem with is the sawmill. Sure, you get planks no matter what, but it’s a little frustrating how precise you have to be with the line tracing.
Cure Hana I have a hard time with the saw mill too but I found that if you get the majority of the line you get 4 planks. Also I just helped one spirit pass into the Evergate. 😭
Fireflye Buggy Gwen?
Cure Hana Yep 😭
Fireflye Buggy I just had to let Summer go. I can’t even imagine how it’ll be when it’s Alice’s turn.
This is probably the highlights of the indie world, seems really beautiful this game
This and Inmost's short clip
This and Raji were the two that I was interested in, and I never usually care about indie directs
This trailer put me to tears when they had to say goodbye...
But Hadesssssss
This, Inmost, and hades are what I’m excited for
Definitely wasn't expecting a random game trailer to make me emotional.
You are not alone.
Same here, wtf. Everything about this game from the art to the music to the "care for your spirit friends" just screams I AM GOING TO LOVE THIS GAME TO DEATH.
@@sirprintalot Now should I ruin it with an alternate tidal?
me: "Oh this trailer looks neat." Mushroom spirit: "i'm really scared." trailer: "Learn to say goodbye." me: *emotionally damaged*
To be sad is not to be emotionally damaged, sadness is a normal emotion. To be depressed however is a spirit breaker and not a good one.
Spoilers: Btw it was a child and their name is Stanley
Bro I cried when he had to go. Like legit bawled my eyes out
This is one of those games, that makes me feel that gaming is wholesome, and I am not just wasting my time doing it. Makes me a better and deeper person too. thank you
True, it helps us accepting death as a part of life and focussing on the nice moments to remember
@Anna Yes Anna, this is what gaming is also about, not just 100 new Call of Duty, which still sell somehow. It seems a lot of people forgot what games are about. Different styles are ok, I'm a gamer after all and play lots, horror being my favorites: but the market seem to just constantly try to go for one or two style according to what they think is popular. Hence, long live indie games..... saior of our minds/imagination.
Just finished this game. Please play it. It's so rewarding when you finish a spirit's questline and get them to the everdoor. It's emotional for me but not in a sobbing histerically way but more of a breakthrough moments here and there like when you realize that even the unpleasant people or spirits you encounter deserve compassion, closure and a listening ear. Not all of the spirits are likeable which I love because it's realistic. And Stella (your character) isn't perfect either and the game humanizes her little by little throughout. This is the perfect game for me ❤.
Finished ? Its not endless like animal crossing ??
Who decided that their TRAILER should make me cry???
Gotta be prepared bro
So you know what you're getting into.
it shouldnt
Even though it's just a game, it kind of felt like I achieved something somewhat tangible for myself, because it made me feel and express sadness and grief, which are emotions that I usually try to ignore or hide. It sounds silly, but I feel like I've grown a bit more as a person after this experience and might shed a few more tears in the future, if I feel sad, instead of suppressing my emotions. Thanks for this great music and this great game!
Nice Speech
Sometimes it feels good to cry, like letting something out or releasing some weight of a burden.
Agreed as I watched this trailer I thought to myself...I wonder if this game will help me deal better with the passing of my mother. I felt it could give me the opportunity to stop pushing what I feel as far down as I can and confront it. I will most certainly be buying this!
@@RLRussell22 I’m so sorry for your loss! I recommend GRIS for you too. GRIS talks about grief and it does that in a way that will really open you up. It’s a very short game (3-5 hours of gameplay) and it’s worth it. I play Spiritfarer right now and it’s amazing too! I have a feeling you will connect with both of them
@@PhoenixL0vee thank you for the condolences and for replying 😊
Me: A management game? what's this abo-- 2 minutes later: How dare you T_T
Trailer: “Take care of your adorable spirit friends” Me: “omg, yes, they’re so cute!” Also trailer: “Watch your friends pass into the afterlife as you stand by helplessly!” Me: *”...........WUT.”*
You bring them there, to help them move on, to move forward...
It's peaceful in a way. They can say when they are ready to leave. Imagine if we all could go like this ❤️
This game looks so beautiful in both art style and story and I cannot wait until I have the money to get it
I think its free on Xbox Game Pass
Or you can buy on Gog and than refund if you want
Me too
How often do you get money?
Flavio Nichele but game pass isn’t free :)
That hung at the end made me cry, but mostly because I haven't had a big in probably 3 months and I want one really bad.
**HUGS**
*tight hug*
70 hours into the game and still absolutely in love with it. It’ll break my heart once I finish it. Thunder Lotus...You Folks have created a masterpiece. My favourite game...OF ALL TIME ❤️❤️❤️
Talk about punching above your weight. This is some crazy production value for an indie.
I really suggest checking out Thunder Lotus' other games, they're all gorgeous.
as someone who is almost done with my first save; get it if you can. this game is one of the most insanely beautiful things i've ever played. the art is beautiful. the designs are stunning. the story is... it's something else. i've never played a game that has such depth to it. every character has a unique struggle and path they take before you say goodbye to them. it all seems so natural and beautiful. some of the spirits are so well written it hurt immensely to say goodbye to them. there are a few i can think of off the top of my head. and there are many spirits that hit insanely close to home, especially as someone who has many people in my life that struggle with their mental health. this game is not one for the faint of heart, and there are quite a few sensitive topics, however they're handled with a lot of care. i've sobbed my way through a LOT of the stories. this game is amazing. if you're looking for a beautiful, emotional, and just downright enjoyable, get spiritfarer.
This game reminds me so much of a Ghibli film, mostly Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away. From the beginning I already had a sense of how it would end, but the journey is so beautiful. Even though it's definitely tear-jerking, it does leave you with a sense of peace. 10/10, will replay again when I get another box of tissues. 😭❤️
Nintendo really be annoucing the best games for this quarentine
This game will make you cry. Not every spirit will make you cry. But one day you will find the one that breaks you.
like the deer!
Mushroom boy
I started this game completely blind when I downloaded it on game pass. "Oh this looks like a cute harvest moon/animal crossing kind of game!". I was not prepared for what it actually was. This game is going to be a roller coaster.
ValorSpyder same here dude lol I’ve been playing it nonstop since I got it free on game pass. I didn’t think I would even like the thing but It’s very quickly become one of my favorite games of this year
This game was the best experience I've had all year. I loved, I laughed, I cried my heart out. 10/10 from me
Games Radar: Full of life and love Me: I can’t wait to make some spirit friends! Spiritfarer: Learn to say goodbye Me: WHAT
Why are my "feels" activated, after watching a trailer? This game looks amazing.
I too recommend it. Very beautiful game.
I played this game a few weeks after losing both my grandma and my cousin. It hit like a truck emotionally.
The little hedgehog grandma made me bawl my eyes out. She was so sweet, but the process before she left made my heart ache 😭
I lost it when Alice passed too...such a Dear & Delicate spirit ❤️
animal crossing: nuzlocke edition.
its kind of the reverse of a nuzlocke,
This was one of the best video games I have ever played. Ever.
If I could describe this game. Imagine a raw, unfiltered, emotional animal crossing, with a lot larger place to explore and more interaction. Absolutely fell in love with this game! Well done.
A game has never made me cry and captured my heart like this one. I like how slow paced it is, how everything is done with your own time and dont even get me started on the SOUNDTRACK. It’s so beautiful. Thinking about when I finished the game, it was heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. More games like this please! ❤️🥺
I love the art and concept 🖤 So very cute, and a beautiful way to handle a death storyline 🖤
Is it bad that I want to write book similar to this now
@@Icanonlycountto4 It isn't 😁 Taking inspiration isn't copying
When he said he was scared, I just lost it and started balling my eyes. Omfgg T_T
Me too =[
Same here
Playing this game is truly a challenge. I only just started, and just said goodbye to my first and favorite character, and I'm absolutely devastated, I feel like I genuinely lost a friend.. this game is a 10/10 easily for its story, cause it really did capture how difficult it is to say goodbye.
I love the fact that the main character is black by default! You don’t see that often! Usually the “base” or assumed character is a pale-skinned(usually assumed to be white, or sometimes if its anime-inspired a very light skinned asian). As if a pale-skinned character is more “universally relatable” which couldn’t be further from the truth.
Beatrix lebeau from slime rancher is another good example
I honestly didn't even notice. I'm not gonna be lame and say "I don't see color" but people are just people to me.
ghost Fair enough, but consider this: I know it may seem small, but especially for young children/teens they notice these things, and will want to look like their fav heros and characters in games and tv shows. So its important that when they do see human characters they begin to see the beauty and uniqueness in features that resemble their own AND others as well. Games are just a small area that this plays out, but is a part of a larger problem: colorism, which has serious real life consequences.
My heart glows. So excited to have something unique and peaceful to play.
Yeah I'm getting this. I'm ready to cry.
Almost 3 years on and this game hits different. I lost my beloved and loyal Labrador companion in June of 22. It was the worst pain and loss I had ever experienced. I didn’t eat or drink for 4 days and had to go on an IV because his death left me grieving severely. I will always miss you Grug. May we reunite when my time comes. This is one of the game that shook me to my very core. A beautiful masterpiece.
don't think I am emotionally ready for this game!
I've been waiting for this! Now Imma wait for Silksong and Cris Tales and my indie wishlist is complete!
I played the cris tales demo on Xbox. I'm sad that I'll have to wait until sometime in November to play it
We playin Indie game BINGO?
My wishlist: cristales, eastward, silksong and spiritfarer
@@pedro_. Agreed, im adding the red lantern, sports story , axiom verge 2 to my list
I didn't think when I first saw this trailer, that this game would shatter me.
The most beautiful game ever. It really changed me. I never thought that it is possible to share so many emotions through the game. That is absolute "must play". I will show it one day to my kids.
This makes me feel a lot better to be alive.
Got this game and I am loving it. Yes, there are sad moments, but the chillness of the management part sort of helps move past the heavy and into the next bit.
On a side note as a brown girl seeing that the main character of this fantasy game is brown brings me so much joy!!!!!!! I’m not the biggest gamer but I’ll definitely get this💕☁️
I thought the same thing...love to see black female character leads in video games because there are truly not even close to enough.
It is quite refreshing. People say representation doesn't matter but usually those are the people who already have it.
I'm white and I like playing games where the character is white.
@@Markrobinson-bb3ti Of course you do! The character is supposed to be an extension of yourself. =)
I got this game last year shortly after my grandmother died. The game was truly a breath of fresh air and really helped me move on. The music, the characters, the story, and the smooth mechanics all helped me better enjoy the game and see it as more than a piece art, I saw it as a way of comfort. If you haven't gotten it, you need a way to cope from the loss of a loved one, or just genuinely need a distraction then get this game. The story is told in a way that leaves you always enchanted and laughing from the interactions. The way the game plays is also a good reason to get it as it uses music, humor, and the many quests you can do as a way to keep you constantly moving. All in all, please get this game be it for yourself or for a friend. I would highly recommend it. 100/5 stars
My granny passed last October due to dementia, then my grandpa passed early this year from cancer. It still hurts so much, and I think about her constantly. I just got this game today, I'm hoping it helps me move forward and help alleviate my struggles coping with death.
@@dannydorito4474 I'm so excited for you. There is a character with dementia (she's also a grandmother) so I hope you find some comfort in that. I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope you hang in there.
I've owned this game for two hours and I've already cried multiple times
This game has a beautiful message on death. The characters and visuals are stunning. The concept might scare you but I highly encourage people to look past that. It really is so therapeutic and sweet
I’m only here because someone at my work told me about this game. It’s doesn’t seem overly complicated and the graphics and colors look really astounding! 👌
You have to play it. It's very emotional and worth playing it.
This looks really good and touching, I'm totally going to buy it
It was like Gris for me...absolute master pieces!
my friend: animal crossing but B O A T Me: Animal Crossing but D E A T H
Me while watching this: this looks relaxing and cute After watching it: yo wtf...
This game is HEAVY!! This game does a fantastic job of making you feel really invested in characters that you HAVE to say goodbye to. If you are dealing with the loss of a loved one I’d recommend playing this game. It may help you let go. It certainly helped me. Good Bye grammie. I love you
To anybody curious about whether to buy it or not, do it. It is a beautiful game with great characters and fun gameplay and it it's not super depressing either. Saying goodbye is more of a bittersweet. You know that they are going to a better place but still shed a few tears because you know you'll miss them on your journeys. Overall, do go get the game!!
She feels like DC Comic's Death of the Endless. This alone makes me excited for the game.
Just recently started playing this and WOW. I did not expect to love this game so much, it’s totally worth it and the message behind it is so heartwarming 💜
This game is something truly special. I lost my parents years ago and I thought I had dealt with it because I’d learned to live with some sense of normalcy, but bottling something up is not the same as dealing with it. This game made me realize that and it helped walk me through a healthy and mature acceptance of these things. More than years of therapy ever did. Maybe I just was finally ready or maybe it was because it took me by surprise or maybe because it was in an objective way. Maybe it was because I’m not intimidated by gaming like I am with trying to talk about my feelings. Either way this game is absolutely amazing especially if you’re dealing with loss. ❤
Started playing this yesterday and I'm already hooked. Can't think of a single thing I would change. Well done!
One of the most wholesome games I've seen in a while.
One of the most memorable games I’ve ever played. Beautiful, addicting, so many feelings. Thank you THUNDERLOTUS.
it's the music... the perfect music to the perfect story, makes me cry so much
I am sure this game will absolutely emotionally destroy me, and I am here for it.
Can't believe the contrast between this and Sundered. Love this studio, definitely getting this.
TBH all three of their games have something to do with death. In Jotun, the main character is a Viking who died ingloriously and has to earn her place in Valhalla through battle. Sundered deals a lot with mortality/immortality at the cost of corrupting your soul and body. The army was trying to save their civilization from dying using Eschaton tech, while the Eschatons are still alive but horribly mutated. Eshe also can't truly die thanks to the Trapezohedron, and the ending choices are: be corrupted and escape, or destroy the portal and die underground.
The artstyle reminds me of the Tea Dragon Society Books.
oh wow, i thought i was the only one! such a cozy artstyle
reading it now cuz of you. then im gonna buy this game.
Got to play this game finally last year. Was definitely worth it. I'm replaying it currently. This game helped me be less afraid of death.
there is so much beauty and heart in this game...and I think that it doesn't matter who you are, every person that will play this game will be able to feel a part of it. I never had an experience like this game and it will be forever a bright memory.
This is in my Top 3 favourite games ever. If you are thinking about buying it, I hope you read this message and go for it. This is a Masterpiece.
What are your other top 2?
@@Mimlou Super Smash Bros and The Binding of Isaac
This has nothing to do with its game title, but this gives me a Spirited Away vibe somehow, maybe the music and art style...?
Oh definitely! animal crossing, ori and the blind forest and spirited away piled into one game
And the fact that the spirits also arrive on a boat in spirited away.
@@TheFlush1980 aw yes
Hands down one of the best indie game I have played it was long but daily dose of this game worked as stress buster for me.
I had this game bought for me, and I am absolutely in love with it. I have not been able to find anything close to it that insect me in like this game did. 10/5 would play a sequel if it came out
This game was a gem. I hope the team does another one like it or makes a sequel
This makes me cry literally every single time I watch it.
Me too. When Stella's escorting the little hedgehog lady. And the mushroom spirit says "I'm really scared", it's just too much.
Yeah I tear up right there. Literally every time. Really it’s every time the music starts.
BUYING IT DEFINITELY
Even the trailer of this game gives me goosebumps all over me. You guys are really amazing. I will never forget this game, NEVER.
Had to buy this game the moment I saw it. Loving it so far!
Okay, this game looks so beautiful 🥺
the music is better then most soundtracks to multi-million dollar cinematic scores. you found a great composer : )
I recently experienced someone close to me who passed, and this game will definitely make me cry but it has a sort of calming aspect to it.
This video game is very beautiful, just by watching the trailer I already cried ;-; I can't wait to play it
This game looks so beautiful. Also really happy to see it's more of a management game than a platformer or other type of RPG.
Bought and played the game - can confirm, makes you cry! 11/10
Im playing it now, it instantly grabs you and im having so much fun
a lot of people are gonna end up crying so hard with this one. I felt a bit teary eyed halfway through
I cried so much during this game, but I would really recommend it.
Really loved this game, it's super profound, extremely wholesome and almost soothing to play. I also really enjoyed how not every story in the game is a bright and happy one, some of them are really bittersweet, while others are mostly painful, just like real life. A real gem of an indie game!
This game touches me so deeply, the feeling of knowing that you need let them go, that it is the right thing to do ... reminds me of the same in real life, the loss... this game and Gris touched me to the bone.
I started crying at the end I'm sold
Good god this game is gonna make me cry :,(
one of the best trailers iv'e ever seen
I just cried only over the trailer bro imagine if I bought this game
I was looking into getting this for me and my daughter to play. Then I saw the goodbye stuff....... I still wanna play it with her but damn she will be bawling her eyes out when she needs to say goodbye.
awww the fact that you will play it with your daughter is soooo wholesome it made me smile. but you know even in the lion king simba had to say goodbye not everything is so happy in this world but at least the game made their goodbye seem beautiful
Beautiful story and artwork? I'll take it! The art style reminds me of some nostalgic children's illustration book.
Thats it! Spiritfarer is officially going on my to-get list!
It's beautiful, this one will go on my to-buy list for sure.
Once the economy stops being trash, I'm definately getting this game
If your budget is low, you can get the game with the xbox game pass on pc. The first month is just 1e. (not an ad, just a good deal)
