Spirittea appears to be a charming game. Developed by Cheesemaster Games, it’s described as a fusion of Stardew Valley and Spirited Away. In this game, you help spirits by operating a bathhouse and engage with the townsfolk to enhance your facilities. Interestingly, it shares similarities with ConcernedApe’s upcoming game, Haunted Chocolatier. The good news is that Spirittea is set to release soon and will be available on PC Game Pass.
This life simulation game will be accessible on both Steam and Game Pass. Additionally, there is a demo of Spirittea on Valve’s platform for you to try right now, allowing you to become acquainted with the vibrant spirits and determine if the game suits your preferences.
To offer you a glimpse of the game, we’ve included an eight-minute gameplay video below. After consuming the titular Spirittea, your character starts to see troublesome spirits in town. In a manner reminiscent of Stardew Valley‘s villagers, your task is to assist these spirits in resolving their issues and providing them a relaxing bathhouse experience.
The pixel art in Spirittea is truly exquisite, with a color and design quality reminiscent of EarthBound. Your responsibilities include maintaining a clean bathhouse, delivering top-notch service to the spirits, ensuring the water temperature suits each spirit’s preference, and seating friends and enemies separately.
Although Spirittea may initially appear similar to Stardew Valley, it’s evident that it brings a unique twist to the popular life simulation formula. This game has the potential for a vibrant community and modding scene, and hopefully, the development team will continually update the game to keep players engaged.
