What is Spirits?

In Spirits you guide ethereal leaf spirits on their journey home as autumn falls. You have no direct control over the spirits; instead you influence the world by altering wind direction, rebuilding ground, and using each spirit’s sacrifice to create bridges, clouds, tunnels, or wind blocks. Each level challenges you to find creative solutions with limited resources, turning simple mechanics into deep strategic puzzles. The game’s minimalist art and ambient soundtrack create a calming experience across all platforms.
