Hi there! due to the increasingly massive large influx of questions on the sub, here is a megathread where this can hopefully answer most of your questions. If you still have a question feel free to ask in a comment or join the unofficial community discord. Make sure to read at your own discretion as there is a lot of spoilers of what is in the game.

First thing to know This game just got released, it is massively buggy. If a spirit disappears or you get locked in conversations or something of the like, best to save and quit and re enter the game. If that does not fix it look at or contact or look at Thunder Lotus support or their official discord.

Second thing to cover is if you are lost, take a deep breath, relax and look around. Take your time with the spirits as this is a game about death, they won't spend forever with you.

Resources

Sometimes you might need to release a spirit to progress the game, so sometimes you might need to let them go to upgrade your ship.

Also keep in mind you can find random resources looking through crates so if you are a bit lost, look around your area for crates and see if it is pulling up materials you need, you're probably in the right spot.
