Spiritfarer dev sees the game as a way to unwind

According to the official description, Spiritfarer is a cozy management game about dying. Not exactly a warm and fuzzy topic, is it? Just what in the world do the developers expect you to get from the experience? According to a USGamer interview with art director Jo-Annie Gauthier, Spiritfarer is meant as a way to provide relaxation for the player.

"The way I personally see it is, it's meant to be a game where you've had a long day at work, you have half an hour to kill or you just want to unwind. You can just boot it up and start from wherever you left off. You're not going to be penalized for not logging on for a week."
