Creators of unique hand-drawn indie games Thunder Lotus have shared fresh new gameplay from Spiritfarer, about the “cosy management game about dying”. The second gameplay teaser shows some of the game’s dynamic levels, which serve as a counterpoint to Spiritfarer’s cosy management gameplay and emotional narrative. Spiritfarer is scheduled for release in 2020 on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, Windows PC, PlayStation®4, and Nintendo Switch™.

In addition, the developer has announced its plans to participate in the upcoming Steam Game Festival – Summer Edition by hosting an AMA on June 10, 2020. Thunder Lotus looks forward to discussing its approach to delivering an experience that is both entertaining and emotionally moving in Spiritfarer, as well as answering any other questions the studio’s fans may have. Fans are encouraged to check Spiritfarer’s Steam page for upcoming details about the AMA event.
“It’s great to be able to showcase some of the great gameplay variety we’re building into Spiritfarer with this Teaser – The game’s development is coming along very smoothly, and our great community has been quite vocal about their anticipation. I look forward to fielding their questions during the AMA.”
