Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition

Spiritfarer®: Farewell Edition

So is the story complete or not ? Spoiler alert!
I just finished the game 100% and I LOVED IT, but still I just feel that story is a bit ... off ? Bringing every spirit to Evendoor plus the Encounters with Hades put the storyline together. And game wiki gives a lot information about characters, shaping the Stella story even more. Simply put Stella is a palliative care nurse carring for dying patients, until she herself died from sickess. Spirits are patients who died in her care - this is why she's the Spiritfarer- the one who farers the spirits.

BUT BUT BUT BUT!
Devs shared that more spirits are coming this 2021, one of them being Stella sister, Lily.
And I got me thinking - does more content, more spirits mean that the game storyline will get wayyy bigger or will it add just a bit more story ? Because I still don't have answers to such things like:
- what exacly is this world Stella finds herself with ? Is it a dream ? Why does she have to relife her memories again ?
- Why is Stella so young if he passed away at adult age? Other spirits have their age close to the moment they died in real life ? And who is Daffodil ? Is he the yellow hat Stella carries in the third encounter ? Why is he here ? (of course for the purpose other than coop)
- who are other NPCs ? Like Francis and Albert ? Do they have some meaning for story or do they exist purely for game mechanics? Who is Hades ? I know Hades is the god of the underworld/afterlife for greek mythology just like Charon. But if he's a God then why does he talk with Stella ? Again is this just Stella's dream before her death or is this some afterlife bargain she struck with the Charon and Hades ? And why are there so many unnamed NPCs spirits present in this world ? why aren't they trying to get to Evendoor ?
Maybe I'm just demanding too much from story but I really like this game and ending of it seems just dissapointing ? I was expeting that in the end Stella's journey would be explained.
So what do you guys think ? Is the story finnished or new spirits will change the game ending in any way ? (Also I can't say for sure that everyting is true since most of it is based by my thinking and reading characters story on wiki. So don't be mad at me if I missed someting important or devs already answered my questions)

Sorry for digging up your post. :D
I finished the game today with the Lily storyline.

Spoilers following obviously.

In my opinion Stella is in a coma/in the process of dieing while the game plays.
All of the places of this Limbo are built after special events of her life, like the japanese looking region (she was living in Japan for a while) or the urban city region (when she moved to Vancouver [was it Vancouver?]).
The spirits she brings to the everdoor are also remnants of people that touched her in life. Friends, family members or patients from her work in the hospital.
They are there to soothe her and prepare her for her own death.
So it's her subconsciousness that's building the game that we play until she is finally able to die.
She gets glimpses of the real world when she interacts with the shrines and hears her sister talking to her and drinking Whisky.
And maybe that's also the reason why she looks so young, because in the inside she doesn't feel as old as she is (I can relate to this :D).
And for me Hades is the symbolization of Death that's waiting for her at the end. He is kind of beautiful and intimidating at the same time.

Just my 2 cents about this. ;)
I really liked the game.
