Spirittea (2023)

Spirittea plunges you into a quirky, spirit-filled world after a fateful sip grants you the ability to see the supernatural. This quaint town is overrun with mischievous spirits, lost and forgotten as human belief waned. It's your job to help these troubled entities remember themselves, whether it be through fulfilling odd requests like finding their lost treasures or cooking up some spicy noodles. Alongside restoring peace, you'll need to befriend the quirky locals, explore the expansive mountain, and ultimately, become the best bathhouse keeper around. As you revitalize the bathhouse, an ancient sanctuary for spirits, you will clean towels, chop wood, and seat guests. Each spirit possesses unique preferences and desires, requiring you to manage the bathhouse effectively to ensure all guests are satisfied. You must cater to their individual needs by meticulously adjusting the water temperature, mixing elixirs to create the perfect bathing experience, and strategically seating friends together while keeping enemies apart. Spirittea earns its place among the best games by No More Robots due to its distinctive blend of cozy management, quirky humor, and engaging gameplay loop.
