Let's get this out of the way first: Spiritfarer is a much longer game than I anticipated. It is deceptively deep, in a good way. The clock runs even longer if you stop and smell the roses, which I certainly did. This game is a bounty of mindful activity. You're always able to move forward, the sun rises and sets each day, and yet your boat seems somehow frozen in time. It's fun to make your boat bigger and stack it with different buildings, but it's also rewarding to stop on an island, or in the middle of the ocean, and appreciate the company and scenery. As Stella says goodbye to each passenger, I also feel a trace amount of gratitude and sorrow as I put this game down and move on to the next. I'm glad I got to spend time with it after not making that time in 2020.

Mindful Games - Spiritfarer

Most of us aren't given the chance to know when it's our time to go, much less the ability to decide we aren't ready and want to stay here a little longer. Spiritfarer sets sail in this sad but highly introspective period in time, serving up lessons in mindfulness at every turn.
