The player takes the role of Stella, accompanied by her pet cat Daffodil, who takes over from the mythological [[Charon]] as the new Spiritfarer, a ferrymaster who must sail the sea to find spirits and grant their last wishes and finally take them to the Everdoor, a gateway to the afterlife.<ref name=":1">{{Citation|title=Spiritfarer Review - IGN|date=August 18, 2020 |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/spiritfarer-review|language=en|access-date=August 22, 2020}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|last=Allen|first=Eric Van|date=August 18, 2020|title=Spiritfarer Review: Come Sail Away|url=https://www.usgamer.net/articles/spiritfarer-review|access-date=August 22, 2020|website=USgamer|language=en}}</ref> In order to assist with her journey, Charon gifts both Stella and Daffodil with the magical Everlight.
 
After Charon passes through the Everdoor, Stella procures a ship of her own and begins travelling the world, picking up spirits and helping them fulfill their last wishes while befriending them along the way. As she picks up more spirits and collects resources, Stella expands the ship and its capabilities further. However, Stella must begin sending the spirits to the Everdoor. Each of them gives an emotional send off as they thank Stella for everything she has done for them, leaving her a spirit flower to remember them by. As Stella sends off more and more spirits, she begins occasionally encountering [[Hades]], in the form of a giant owl. Hades shows Stella images of what areis apparently her past life as a [[palliative care]] nurse, taking care of terminally ill patients before falling terminally ill herself. Hades then questions Stella's motivations, wondering whether her desire to help spirits is altruistic or simply a selfish means to ease her own insecurities.
 
Eventually, Stella sends off the last spirit through the Everdoor and she has one final confrontation with Hades. Hades reveals that Stella's real body is on the verge of death in the real world, and it is now her time to pass through the Everdoor. With her purpose fulfilled, Stella sails back to the Everdoor with Daffodil one last time. She passes through the Everdoor with Daffodil and they both become a constellation in the sky.
