Spiritstead

Spiritstead is a laid-back city builder set in an enchanted land where humans and magical spirits live and work together. You assign jobs to villagers, provide for their needs and build a village that is both practical and beautiful. The game takes around 3–5 hours to play through in survival mode, and its world remains the same each time you play.

Game modes

Creative mode lets you build freely without pressure. In adventure mode, you manage villagers’ needs and wants while developing your town. Survival mode offers a 3–5-hour playthrough.

Villagers and spirits

You support your townsfolk by assigning jobs, meeting their needs and helping them stay happy. Cafes, markets and bonfires are among the buildings that boost happiness. As you progress, you unlock buildings, decorations and upgrades to help care for residents.

Wandering spirits can be discovered by interacting with the world. These quirky creatures help make village life easier to manage; you can collect them to live alongside your people and build structures for spirits.

Expand your village

As you expand into new territories with the help of wandering spirits, you uncover hidden secrets and work to restore the Grand Spirit Sanctuary, bringing balance between spirits and humans. The game uses a handcrafted visual style inspired by Miyazaki films and cartoons.
