They are more than just speech bots however, all of your passengers have had lives and experiences of their own of course and that can come in handy. They have so much to talk about regarding their lives and none feel like another. They feel like they have lives away from the world that you see and that if they were not here, they would have plenty to do elsewhere.
Instead of people talking about how they had to eat out a baby’s skull or whatever, they talk about normal, everyday topics like the weather, one’s favorite food or their family back at home. Its world is a refreshing splash of colors and emotions. Often it is driven to the point of hilarity. It’s often a grayscale depression bonanza with every character ceaselessly discussing the many different awful things that are happening around the world. Most of the time, when themes of death are a prevalent part of the media, it often has a habit of showing that in every part of its world. Speaking of the world, “Spiritfarer” has the unique distinction of being a game about death, but it generally looks like a nice place to live. Sailing around the world in your massive hub of a base that grows in size the more people you meet and the more that you travel. Their requests often are in the form of fetch quests and completing certain tasks. “Spiritfarer,” as boiled down as I can get it, is a base management/2dplatforming game where you complete objectives for the eponymous spirits until they are fulfilled enough to finally enter the afterlife through the eyes of a young girl named Stella, the player character. And how all of these weaved with the tale of the main character. It tells the story of the journey of a man’s exploration of his life’s work and his calm acceptance of its end. Romantic love for another or familial love of brothers. It has the gut wrenching horror of loss yet the wonderful childlike glee of innocence. It’s somber, loving and beautiful at heart. Enough that, to this day, I worry about playing the game or listening to the signature song of its soundtrack in fear of my crying my eyes out. The “else” part of that statement is the other thing that has made me cry. It’s story was so harrowing with as good an ending that you could have in a story like Schindler’s list.

Schindler’s List is the only movie that comes to memory as literally anything else that has actually made me tear up in any fashion. I am usually a very emotionally muted person when it comes to the media that I digest and I often struggle to empathize close enough to the characters in a story to make me cry. There are few things that have the prestige, the compliment, the honor, of bringing me to tears from quality.
