Spiritfarer Announced For Nintendo Switch

Thunder Lotus, developer of Jotun and Sundered, has announced Spiritfarer for Nintendo Switch. Described as a cozy management game about dying, Spiritfarer is scheduled for release in 2020.

About the game

In Spiritfarer, you play Stella, ferrymaster to the deceased. Build a boat to explore the world, then befriend and care for spirits before finally releasing them into the afterlife. Farm, mine, fish, harvest, cook, and craft your way across mystical seas. Join the adventure as Daffodil the cat, in two-player cooperative play. Spend relaxing quality time with your spirit passengers, create lasting memories, and, ultimately, learn how to say goodbye to your cherished friends.

Thunder Lotus’ previous productions, Jotun (2015) and Sundered (2017) earned high praise from press and players alike for their gorgeous visuals and challenging gameplay. Eager to explore other game genres and to tackle more mature themes and a richer narrative framework, Thunder Lotus brought on AAA-veteran Creative Director Nicolas Guérin to helm Spiritfarer. Guérin’s infectious passion for the project has proven to be a great motivational force for the development team.
