itch.io

I’m so excited for what’s to come and wishing you the best!!

I don't know what else to say other than that I love the art style of the game — which reminds me of Paper Mario for some reason — and that there is surprisingly a lot of fun and goofy things to do.

Hopefully we get to see Bun and his boyfriend (who is briefly mentioned, if I correctly recall) in a future update!!

It specifically says in the description of the game: "This visual novel is safe for work."

Edit: So more than likely not.

Goodbye wallet, hello merch!!

*Spoilers*

Every time I reread the kiss and "The Talk" scenes, I feel so so sad for Spencer. Like, besides the text leading up to the kiss, seeing his exaggerated and out-of-the-blue swagger made it so glaringly obvious that those scenes never happened which sucks because now I can't do mental gymnastics to try and pretend as if it did.

I just want to see Ian and Spencer making toast together in his apartment with his or something ;(

About 154 days, give or take.

I really need to stop spending money on random things now that Lookouts merchandise is in the works! 

I'm really crossing my fingers though for plushies of Robin and Joseph someday!! How incredible would that be?

95/100

Absolutely riveting! Like everyone else, I was curious as to what all these raving reviews were. They were right. Cute art style, a very intriguing plot, a fleshed-out protagonist--I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! 

I'm a sucker for fluffy romance scenes and anything that involves blushing so the romance bits definitely hit the mark, but I really didn't expect to be reeled in so deep from the story. 

I don't know what it is about visual novels on itch.io, but all the characters have great designs, Spencer and Ian are my two favorites of course.

The only criticism I have is that the transition between scenes almost give me whiplash, but that may be intentional to sort of mirror Spencer's whole thingy going on.

Anyways, I really can't wait for 171 days to pass! Very excited to see how this will end!

Who cares about waiting? I just had to see what was next and ended up subscribing, but it was definitely worth it! I'm really loving everything so far about the game! Lovely soundtrack so far, amazing UI, perhaps the most enticing plot line in a VN despite the game being far from finished, and of course, that art style that I am just completely infatuated with.  

I felt like trash when I purposely kept clicking "Magic" and disregarded the warnings to try and get all the endings... poor Dragon Slayer.

Also, I seriously can't wait for the next story update—Howl's looking very cute in that photo and I'm feeling a little teased lol.

I have to admit something... I am completely addicted to these two cute fellas.

Crap, I really wish they were turned into marketable plushies... that would be a dream come true lol.

Every single time I replay this game my silly gay mind always initially interprets the hardness of Joseph's clothes to something else... 

And I don't know why, but Robin's sprite of him pulling out a gun is so adorable for literally no reason. But then again, I gushed over every single scene when Robin and Joseph were on the screen at the same time. 

I'm just going to copy and paste my review here:

105/100

You know that aching feeling that you get when you finish playing a video game? That feeling has never been stronger since the first time I've played Spiritfarer. 

Everything about this visual novel works. The soundtrack, the actual story, the characters, and particularly the art design. 

I really don't know what to say about the art design--it's just that good. Unlike other visual novels I've read, this one stands out in particular since the very stylized characters blend perfectly into the background. Every single character has their own unique personality--other than the generic gang members of course--and all of their designs are worth simping over. I'm truly at a loss for words: I was fully enraptured in the story. Like any other good game, my only complaint would be that it is too short. But then again, anything is too short when it gives you the time of your life. The only real nitpick I have would be the character sprites having no feet when sliding in or out of frame (unless if that was on purpose--which I would respect lol.)

I'd love for there to be a sequel or spin-off series starring the characters in this story. All that there is to do now is to buy the gold edition and to do what anyone who's invested in a piece of media does--draw fanart.

If I could compare this game to something, I would compare it to Brokeback Mountain without the tragic gays trope and just better overall although I'm particularly biased towards Lookouts since, well, gay furry cowboys being fluffy and adorable. Need I say more? Play it!!
