Thunder Lotus Games has recently released the Beverly update for Spiritfarer. This new DLC introduces a new tiny owl spirit called Beverly, which you can recruit when going to Oxbury. In addition, you can expect a full-length spirit questline.
New Features
The developers have also added a host of other things. One of the new features is the new save system that allows you to save your games in three separate slots.
If you want to take a break from adventures, there is a lounge where you can relax, with a radio that plays some relaxing tunes in the background. If there is a particular song or in-game tune that you want to listen to over and over again, then go to the lounge and unwind.
Quality of Life Improvements
If you have been clamoring for a feature that makes your adventures a bit faster, then you are in luck. Also added in the Beverly update is the new “Safe Travel” mode where you can automatically skip events during your next trip.
Furthermore, the Captain’s log has been improved as you can now keep track of all required materials for your stations, houses, and buildings.
Other things that you can expect in the update include small UI tweaks, such as the “Build” button being greyed out if you hover over a building that you are unable to build, and a new option that allows you to disable the user interface so that you can see your boat in all its glory, among many others.
