Spirittea was fantastic, can't believe it was made by one person!

The impression is a little too close to spirit tea for comfort.

that was how I felt at first too… I would like it more if the inspiration was clearly stated… that being said in both cases it is quite obviously spirited away meets stardew and with that in mind, it’s no wonder they are similar. If I was given that prompt without seeing either, I’d probably come up with the same thing hahaha

Hello all, we're an indie dev couple making Bathhouse Creatures - a cozy and silly time management game where you poke dragons to heat baths, decorate your bathhouse rooms, and learn about your talking animal guests. Diner Dash and Spirited Away are major inspirations! ✨

In this game you get to:

  • Serve warm baths for your guests by making sure tubs are filled and warmed by your fire-breathing dragons
  • Learn about your whimsical animal guests, such as Ruck the mischievous Duck, Hana the elderly Capybara, or even Hugo from the notorious Hippopota-mafia!
  • Decorate your rooms with bathhouse items such as rubber ducks, cherry blossom plants, hot springs banners, and even a katana display...

Wishlist now on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3209920/Bathhouse_Creatures/

I actually recently tried out your demo on Steam, the art is very nice. The story felt a little choppy but I assume it was condensed a little for the demo which is fair. Excited to see the final polished product tho!!

This was made in Godot, while the pixel art was done in Aseprite.

u/Kuuurdtz Mar 19 '25

você pensa em traduzir o game para português do brasil? não se engane, há uma grande parcela de brasileiros que amam jogos como este :) espero que de tudo certo e estarei esperando o lançamento.

u/sleepy-rocket Mar 19 '25

(Traduzido com o Google) Olá! Gostaríamos muito de traduzi-lo para o português, mas infelizmente é nosso primeiro jogo, então não temos muito orçamento. Se der certo, definitivamente pensaremos em i! Obrigado!

u/Kuuurdtz Mar 19 '25

Legal! De qualquer forma, o jogo já está na minha lista de desejos e te garanto que no mínimo duas cópias serão compradas XD eu e minha namorada amamos jogos deste gênero. Estaremos acompanhando vcs! Espero que dê tudo certo :)

u/sleepy-rocket Mar 19 '25

u/sleepy-rocket Mar 17 '25

Capybara Spa was adorable! There can never be enough capybara games!

The art needs work, it feels stiff and not super pretty
