Spiritstead

Hello dear reader, Spiritstead is a cozy, albeit short game with an art style very likable to Studio Ghibli films. I think the art and fun sprites are the true highlights of this game but I think the gameplay is also enjoyable. There is not a whole lot of strategy to this game and I would imagine that a game like this would be very forgiving to players perhaps have never played a game ever before in their lives. I disagree with some of the comments saying this is an idle game. I was never once idle during my entire playthrough. I'd like to give some thoughts to the devs on how to make this game replayable. There are two areas on the map that are unlocked sequentially. I think additial areas can be developed each with their own unique biome. 100 pecenting a biome in a playthrough permanetly unlocks a building. It's through combining these unique buildings in later playthroughs that players can potentially unlock very rare spirits. This will create fun and rewarding replayability while keeping the core game the same. Players who don't want to 100 percent biomes can still complete adventure mode - this should not block casual gamers from completing the game. This would only spice up future playthroughs and lead to very rare spirits which are fun to collect.

Super cute and cosy - this might be the most relaxing "city builder" I've ever played. The visuals are simple and sweet, the animations are fun to watch and the pacing is just right to make you feel relaxed without getting boring. 10/10 spirits howled in awe.

Je ne recommande pas SpiritStead, le jeu manque au global pas mal de polish (surtout au niveau du son, les mêmes SD en boucle ainsi que le manque de bande sonore rend le tout très peu immersif, très répétitif...). La direction artistique sur le capsule art m'avait charmé, néanmoins le jeu dans sa globalité peine à me convaincre (mais je pense que ses visuels trop saturés et fort contrastés de manière générale ne sont simplement pas ma tasse de thé, it happens!). J'ai eu aussi pas mal avec certaines traductions un peu étrange, qui m'ont fait me demander si ce n'était pas une traduction par IA... Bref un peu déçue car c'est un joli projet, mais il manque un peu de finitions pour faire que l'on y reste. Bonne continuation à l'équipe

I highly enjoyed my time with this title. If you are into incremental games this should be on your radar. The only critisism I have is I wanted more, which is the best compliment possible.

What a cute and fun city builder! Keeps me busy and relaxed

Super chill game, really liked the pace of this little city builder. Everything is super smooth and satisfying. Highly recommend!!

这群刁民也太不智能了，穿着比轮胎还厚的羽绒服，擅自脱离工作岗位，跑到太阳下感觉到热，还要我给它拖回去，不拖还要扣我幸福度。
