Release & demo
Spiritstead launches on Steam August 6, 2026 at 19:00 CEST. Compare the free demo with the full game, check system requirements, and read what Frozen Lands and Swamp add beyond the demo slice.
Build homes, assign jobs, keep villagers happy, then unlock spirits that automate chores. Fishing and markets anchor the demo economy — our guides cover both alongside the first-hour path.
Hidden world interactions reveal quirky helpers like Peppok. Rank their utility, learn unlock hints, and tackle hard hunts for Scruffern and Mizzrick with our deep unlock guide.
Houses raise population, warehouses store wood and food, farms and sawmills fund expansion, and cafés or bonfires lift mood. Plan layouts before your roads clog.
Grow from the Green Forest toward Snow and Frozen Lands, then prepare for full-game Swamp territories. Know what each biome unlocks before you overspend on tiles.
