I played the Spiritfarer demo today. Such a feel good game, despite its sad undertones. Wonderful music and art as well. I think what makes it so special is that it seems to celebrate life and the memories created within it, while addressing the fear we all have of passing on. It also shows the value of friendship and closeness or 'skinship' as the Japanese would say.
It is also a reminder that too often we eject others from our personal space due to the predominance of fear of sexual undertones and assumptions.
I found it on the Steam summer game festival page. There were so many good indie games on there, I was very surprised. Almost all of them had demos, which was kind of refreshing for steam.
