Press release:
MANCHESTER, NOVEMBER 13 2023.
The Manchester-based (the UK) indie games publisher No More Robots and Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer Cheesemaster Games, are today very proud and happy to announce that their East Asia-themed life sim/RPG “Spirittea” (a game which is inspired by Studio Ghibli classic “Spirited Away“), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the nintendo Switch) via digital stores.

Inspired in equal measure by iconic life sim Stardew Valley, and classic spirit-focused anime and manga like Spirited Away, Spirittea follows a writer who has escaped to the countryside, in order to clear their head and find inspiration for their next novel.

However, after accidentally drinking from an old mystical teapot, our protagonist begins to see the spirit world overlapping with their reality.

Wonyan, a nuisance cat spirit and faithful guide, shows our writer how many spirits need saving — and hands over the keys to an old bathhouse, where spirits go to relax.
Spirittea is a life sim, management game, and detective game all in one. Players live day to day, finding local NPCs and spirits to help, and taking part in tons of different hobbies, ranging from bug catching to karaoke.

Every spirit you help will then turn up at your bathhouse, where you can offer them towels, salts, snacks, and a lovely hot soak. Upgrading your bathhouse with new furniture, rooms and baths is key to attracting the most exciting spirits, including elusive Lord Spirits, who take up an entire room each.

About Cheesemaster Games:
