#SPIRITFARER ARTBOOK UPGRADE#

The Big Guy: Atul is a frog spirit and is the largest of the cast.

Bittersweet Ending: There's no way around it: Stella is as dead as any of the other spirits, and eventually, she has to ferry herself to the Everdoor.

Ghost mites, on the other hand, are pests.

Nebula pillbugs, the adults of which are about the size of a sheep.

He doesn't give them much vacation time, they have no health benefits, the site seems to violate a bunch of safety rules, and they're not paid leave if they get injured.

Bad Boss: Astrid is first encountered leading a bunch of workers in a strike against a boss who doesn't really seem to care about them at all.

With the Beverly update, you can set material gatherings in your quest log, sail through event areas without having to go to the starting point and saying no, passengers will give hints to their favorite foods, and failing Elena's tasks will make retries easier.

With the Lily update, she allows you to sail even at night time.

Anti-Frustration Features: Rain and heavy storms will take care of watering your crops for you.

The developers chose a hedgehog for Alice to represent her gentleness and timidity and spines to represent her lashing out in the depths of dementia. Atul the frog is a jolly, boisterous musician who loves the water, Bruce the hummingbird is an energetic Motor Mouth, and Gwen the deer is elegant, calm, and majestic.

Animal Stereotypes: Mostly averted, though some of the spirits play the stereotypes of their species straight.

While you can change the colors of her garments from the time you unlock use of the wardrobe, Stella can't unlock most colors until the player gets an associated outfit.

And Your Reward Is Clothes: Several quests will get you new palettes to dress Stella in, as well as new fur colors for Daffodil.

And You Were There: All of the spirits are either Stella's family members or patients at the hospice she worked in.

Lily confirms that she, Stella and the rest of her family were Indians living in France. Summer wears what seems like a sari, plays the sitar, is vegetarian and does meditation however, she is a snake with green skin, which obviously obscures her ethnicity a little.

Ambiguously Brown: Well, Ambiguously Indian anyway, or part Indian.

The projector room has an upgrade that allows you to see facts about all the spirits you meet.All There in the Manual: The digital artbook - which, as of launch, is only available on itch.io or if you purchase the game via Steam - contains additional information about the characters and their lives.Atul calls her 'Sprout' and sometimes 'Scout' (as does Bruce), Summer calls her 'honeybee', Astrid calls her 'Munchkin,' Giovanni calls her 'peanut', 'bambina,' and 'bella', Alice calls her 'little one,' Stanley calls her 'big hat,' and Buck calls her 'Commander'. Affectionate Nickname: Most of the spirits give Stella nicknames.Abusive Parents: Stanley is implied to have a verbally abusive mother.The player never gets to see Stella's vision and it is never brought up again, and there is no option to meditate at any other of the similar stones they can find. Aborted Arc: After meditating with Summer at Mount Toroyama, the next conversation with her has her express surprise over Stella apparently receiving a vision of some kind while meditating, and urges her to meditate at any similar rocks to the one at the top of Mount Toroyama.

I highly recommend this art book if you enjoyed playing Spiritfarer. It was a pleasure to learn more about Thunder Lotus's creative process in creating this wonderful game. Also, the art is just beautiful and it's lovely to see it up close. It was interesting to see the differences in how I interpreted the game versus what the creative team intended. It helped me understand the character's backstories better, especially Atul's. I highly recommend this I really enjoyed reading this short digital art book after I finished playing Spiritfarer on the Nintendo Switch.
