I’ve worked from home for most of the past decade, but it was during the pandemic lockdowns that I was finally indoctrinated into the world of co-working streams, pomodoro timers and lofi beats to chill/study to. I’m better now, but I absolutely see the appeal ofSpirit City: Lofi Sessions, a “gamified focus tool” that just launched on Steam.
Spirit City contains much of what I just mentioned above, allowing you to create your own lofi girl and/or boy, customise their appearance, and decorate the swank studio apartment they’re working within. It’s then got built-in lofi music playlists; sound effect loops of rain, wind, a fireplace and more; a pomodoro timer; and a todo list.
The vibes are immaculate, as some other hack might say. I booted Spirit City up last night and it does absolutely nail the atmosphere, particularly when tweaking the sound effects can (optionally) also change the visuals. Who doesn’t want to imagine themselves sat in a window nook, overlooking a city, with rain pattering against the glass?
If I’m honest, I can’t imagine Spirit City fitting into my life. My todo lists live withinObsidianand sync across devices, and I too often shirk lofi beats in favour of other music genres to chill/study to. I admire it a lot, though, as a neat idea that seems to nail exactly what it sets out to do.
Spirit City: Lofi Sessions costs £8/€9.43/$9.59from Steam.
Now someone make a similar tool which is actually a horror game or murder mystery in disguise. Email me when it’s done.
