❤ Bathhouse Management

Players must actively keep the bathhouse clean by sweeping and collecting towels. They must chop wood to heat the baths to the perfect temperature for each spirit's preferences. Carefully seating compatible spirits together while separating those who don't get along is key to maximizing profits and pleasing customers. As players upgrade the bathhouse over time, new features and amenities become available to attract more spirits and create an even more luxurious bathing experience.

❤ Solving Spirit Problems

Interacting with and helping the various quirky spirits is a major part of the gameplay. Each spirit has their own unique personality, backstory, and set of problems that need solving. This may involve finding and returning lost items, obtaining specific ingredients, or helping them remember important memories. Completing these spirit-based quests and puzzles is crucial for unlocking new areas, spirits, and progression.

❤ Exploration and Discovery

The game encourages players to thoroughly explore the cozy town and surrounding mountain environment. There are many secrets, collectibles, and additional activities to uncover, from catching bugs and fishing to uncovering hidden shrines and interacting with the friendly human townspeople. Curious and observant players who take the time to poke around will discover all that the world has to offer.

❤ Day-to-Day Activities

In between bathhouse management and helping spirits, players can engage in a variety of other day-to-day activities. This includes crafting and cooking, decorating and upgrading their home, and participating in various minigames like karaoke and barbecue. While some minigames have been criticized as being overly difficult, they provide welcome diversions and avenues for players to spend their time and earn additional resources.

❤ Relaxing Pacing and Progression

The game is designed to be a relaxing, low-pressure experience. There are no strict deadlines or requirements forcing players to rush through content. Instead, the open-ended nature and lack of penalties for taking breaks or sleeping in allow for a soothing, stress-free gameplay experience where players can focus on the tasks and activities they find most engaging.
