Spirit City: Lofi sessions

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is a largely idle, cozy experience that aims to help players with their daily productivity and reduce stress in the process. The debut release from Mooncube Games, the new title is all about setting and achieving goals alongside cute companions. Though more of a tool than an outright game, it achieves precisely what it sets out to do, and depending on how players choose to utilize it can be incredibly useful.

The developer listing for Spirit City describes it as a " gameified focus tool," which is extremely apt. Players have a customizable character and space in which they can do a handful of different activities, progressively earning unlocks and Spirit Credits as they use the different tools. The title is set entirely in a comfy bedroom complete with desk, bed, fireplace, and bay window, and though simple, it's a legitimately enjoyable space to virtually hang out in, especially compared to the reality of most workspaces.

Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is an idle game/productivity tool that succeeds at what it lays out to do.

Spirit City As A Tool

Low Pressure Productivity Methods

There are four main tools that Spirit City offers players to help their productivity and workflow: a to-do list, a timer, a journal, and a daily habits tracker. The regular to-do list is simple, but it is useful to have around for reference, and sometimes checking things off earns experience, which is a nice bonus. The habits tracker can follow anything the player wants, and is great for overarching goals like drinking more water or working out a certain number of times each week.

The journal can be used for either free writing or to respond to a selection of prompts like " What am I grateful for today?" or " What's on my mind this morning?" This feature's worth will vary from person to person, but is good at encouraging even short writing sessions for those looking to do more reflective writing. Perhaps the game's most useful feature is the timer, which uses the Pomodoro Technique of focused periods split up by breaks. The work and break time can be customized, and players can set multiple timer loops for seamless productivity.

Customizing Spirit City

Cultivating The Perfect Cozy Vibes

Before diving into work, players can customize a lot about their experience. They can choose between four times of day and four locations around the room - bed, fireplace, desk, or bay window nook - for their character to spend time in, as well as the activity they do, like writing or knitting. Music and sound effects can further set the mood, with four built-in lofi playlists as well as the option to play songs off YouTube. Sound effects range from things like rain and chirping birds to white and pink noise, and can work very nicely in conjunction with the music.

These idle games for PC don't take a lot of time, but they are still loads of fun.

Players also have a large amount of customization options when it comes to their character and space in Spirit City. There's typical character customization like hairstyle and eye color, as well as a plethora of cozy clothing items like big sweaters and quirky socks to be bought with Spirit Credits. Similarly, the room's decor, flooring, and walls can all be changed and give a wide array of choices when it comes to cultivating a specific type of environment, from brighter botanical aesthetics to darker, more rustic ones.

Finding New Spirit Companions

Passively Discovering New Friends

Part of the game's character customization includes choosing a spirit companion, which range from more typical creatures like starting spirit Lenny the cat, to options like a fiery hedgehog or anthropomorphic tea pot. These are all logged in the Spiritdex, which lists both found spirits and ones that have been unlocked but not summoned yet. While they don't serve any true function, it's nice to have a cute little buddy - and yes, players can pet them.

The Spiritdex gives players clues on how to summon these elusive spirits, as they're all drawn out by different conditions. Some just need the player character to perform certain activities for an extended period, while others respond to certain sounds or time or day; once the player has fulfilled these needs for an extended period, the spirit will appear. This process is an enjoyable way to passively make progress in the game and feel a small extra sense of achievement alongside whatever other work is being done.

Final Thoughts & Review Score

A Refreshing Change Of Pace To The Daily Grind - 4/5

Spirit City is a charming idle game that can absolutely improve the day-to-day working experience. However, itis very much a title where players will get out of it what they put into it. The timer can simply be ignored, or tasks falsely marked complete, but these choices would largely defeat its entire purpose. Used as intended, it has great productive potential, though its efficacy for players with only one computer may vary; having the program open on my desktop while working on my laptop allowed for a closer tie to the game than working with it minimized might have.

There could perhaps be a few more features when it comes to organizing one's life, though for something like this a certain amount of simplicity makes sense. It's much more of a tool than an outright game, meaning players looking for active involvement won't find much of it here, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. With cute spirits, impeccable vibes, and a lovely soundtrack reminiscent of games like Coffee Talk, Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is a great choice for anyone looking for a more relaxed, adorable way to tackle tasks each day.

Spirit City: Lofi Sessions is a focus tool game featuring lofi music to help gamers unwind and complete real-life tasks. Gamers can collect Spirits, customize living spaces, and facilitate real-life tasks.
