My handmade cozy pixel game The Spirit Apprentice - Demo now LIVE ✨🍁

Hello there everyone! ✨

I’m a solo developer creating The Spirit Apprentice, inspired by East Asian folklore and the magic of Studio Ghibli. It’s a relaxed RPG. You'll explore the village of Moshu, learn magic, form contracts with spirits, and get to know its mysterious villagers.

My Kickstarter with a small DEMO is now live!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/s-j/the-spirit-apprentice-east-asian-fantasy-rpg

I’ve hand-drawn everything in my game and have spent every moment outside of work creating something I hope you all will like.

Thank you everyone! This community has been so kind and lovely to me during this process ♥️♥️

Just a little solo game dev making a cozy pixel RPG inspired by East Asian folklore

Hi there! I’ve been working on my cozy game for nearly two years, and I’m finally at a point where I’m putting it on Kickstarter!

Inspired by East Asian folklore and the magic of Studio Ghibli, The Spirit Apprentice is an upcoming cozy RPG! You explore the magical village of Moshu, learn magic, form contacts with spirits and build relationships with mysterious villagers.

The Kickstarter launch is set for October 6th, and the pre-launch page is now live!

I’m just a solo developer doing everything myself, so your follow or words of encouragement mean the absolute world to me.

I’ve spent two years (whilst working full time) and every spare coin making this game. I love Studio Ghibli and pixel art so …. Welcome to The Spirit Apprentice.

Restore a forgotten village, befriend magical spirits, and uncover the mysteries of a world slowly being overrun by dark magic.

For fans of cozy vibes, relaxing gameplay as well as romance and mystery.

I’ve been really struggling with marketing and outreach, so any support really helps ✨
