Spirittea 2.0 Update IS HERE!

The wait is finally over, and Spirittea 2.0 IS HERE!!

This is Spirittea’s BIGGEST UPDATE EVER, filled to the brim with BRAND NEW content, surprises and secrets, EVEN MORE spirits, and much more! We cannot wait for you to get stuck in & playing!

Not only that, you can grab Spirittea at its deepest discount ever, for 50% OFF, and you can also grab a brand new bundle with the latest cozy game from No More Robots, Little Rocket Lab, which is also discounted right now!

So, should we get stuck in? here’s a quick general rundown to get you started:

Beasts of Stone

There are six new animal statues around town, linked to a new spirit that can be found in the “park” (the little area above the school with the bench and the checkerboard). This spirit LOVES riddles and has some pretty cool ones that drop into a brand new tab in your menu. Think you’ve got what it takes to solve them?

Divine Formations

Divine Formations are specific arrangements of spirits in the various baths of the bathhouse. The arrangements are based on the spirits’ seasons, which are now much clearer when you have the right spirit tomes! Solving these bathtime puzzles rewards Divine Currency, a precious resource sought after by a new kind of spirit, new to this update.

New NPC Portraits

NPCs have received updated textbox portrait! Each one will have a total of 4, with each NPC’s portrait changing as you achieve different friendship levels with them.

Mountain Ruins and New Spirits

Ascending the mountain hiking trail you’ll now be able to find some new ruins in the meadow just to the west of the mountain’s top. Using Spirit Vision you’ll meet a Grun, a being the spirits refer to as a Divine Builder. They’ve got 4 new friends for you to meet at the bathhouse!

Town Improvements

After restoring all of the ruins on the mountain, you can work with the Gruns to fix up/improve different areas of the town. These are ADORABLE and give a little something for late-game players to work towards!

New Customization

New character and house customization items have been added to the game, including my new favorite piece of furniture, the insectarium, where you can display some caught bugs!

Promise Ring

One of the shops around town will now sell a special item called a Promise Ring. Not saying anything else on this one 😉

Revised Spirit Bathing Emotes

The bathing emote has been revised to make bathing spirits’ happiness and mood clearer!

Appendix

An Appendix has been added to the in-game menu, providing a very useful resource to refresh yourself on certain game mechanics.

Bug Fixes

In addition to all of the items above, loads of bugs have been squashed in this coming update, mainly around the stability of the game, so Spirittea should feel more smoother than ever!

Again, thanks for playing, we sincerely hope you enjoy all the new content. Let us know how you decorate your houses, organize your baths and find all the new faces!

We have had the most amazing journey with Spirittea so far, and it has truly warmed our hearts to see how much you have enjoyed the game & all the hours you have put into this passion project! Even now, we love seeing the Spirittea more alive than ever, and we are honoured to be able to part of this journey. Have a great Christmas & New Year!

MASSIVE Spirittea 2.0 Update coming Dec 4th!

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve all been well and have been enjoying your time with Spirittea. The Spirittea 2.0 is almost here, bringing with it more customization, spirits, riddles, character building, and more! Beasts of Stone After booting up the update, you’ll be able to find six

Hi everyone,

I hope you’ve all been well and have been enjoying your time with Spirittea. The Spirittea 2.0 is almost here, bringing with it more customization, spirits, riddles, character building, and more!

Beasts of Stone

After booting up the update, you’ll be able to find six new animal statues around town. These statues are linked to a new spirit that can be found in the “park” (the little area above the school with the bench and the checkerboard).

This new odd-looking spirit, named Aramachi, will pose riddles to you which, when solved, reward you with scrolls depicting Divine Formations as well as a few other great prizes. As you can see below, a new Riddle tab has been added to the Collections section of the in-game menu. Think you’ve got what it takes to solve Aramachi’s riddles?

Divine Formations

A new system has been added to managing the bathhouse. Divine Formations are specific arrangements of spirits in the various baths of the bathhouse. The arrangements are based on the spirits’ seasons, which will now be indicated next to their little mood bubble (so long as you’ve dug up their respective spirit tome). Achieving a Divine Formation (i.e. seating spirits in a way that matches a particular formation) will reward you with Divine Currency, a precious resource sought after by a new kind of spirit, new to this update.

The in-game menu has been modified. The Friendships sections (with the photos of the NPCs) has been removed and replaced with the above-pictured Formations section. The Friendships section was in the game since its early days of development but became a bit obsolete once the Town Pamphlet was added to the game (showing the hearts and friendship levels of each NPC). Speaking of the NPCs...

New NPC Portraits

NPCs have received updated textbox portraits, courtesy of my wife (the artist of the original portraits). Not only will each NPC receive a new portrait, they will have a total of 4, with each NPC’s portrait changing as you achieve different friendship levels with them.

I hope you’ll love the new portraits as much as I do. I know my wife did her best to visually bring these characters to life and let their personalities shine through.

Mountain Ruins and New Spirits

Ascending the mountain hiking trail you’ll now be able to find some new ruins in the meadow just to the west of the mountain’s top. Using Spirit Vision you’ll meet a Grun, a being the spirits refer to as a Divine Builder.

Work with the Grun to restore the ruins on the mountain and you may just encounter some new spirits at the bathhouse. Four new spirits, to be exact, each an “abnormal” bather, meaning they bring unique challenges to running the bathhouse.

Town Improvements

After restoring all of the ruins on the mountain you can work with the Gruns to fix up/improve different areas of the town. These upgrades require loads of Moolags and unique ingredients/materials, so you won’t likely be able to upgrade the majority of them until later on. They give a little something for late-game players to work towards!

New Customization

New character and house customization items have been added to the game including:

-3 new faces to choose from in the character customization screen

-ponytail hairstyle (brown, blonde, pink, blue)

-afro hairstyle (black, orange)

-new clothing items including: cat ears, joggers, underwear, shorts, a skirt, a shirt and tie, striped dress, sleeveless shirts, and boots

-fish tank item that can display up to 3 fish

-insectarium item that can display up to 3 bugs

-3 new wallpapers

Promise Ring

One of the shops around town will now sell a special item called a Promise Ring. Give it to an NPC you really care for and see how they react. They might even have something to say when it comes time to leave town.

Revised Spirit Bathing Emotes

The bathing emote has been revised to make bathing spirits’ happiness and mood clearer. An arrow next to the emote indicates the direction a spirit’s happiness is moving and the emote itself shows the overall contentment level of the spirit. Additionally, spirits whose Spirit Tome you’ve unearthed will show their season beneath their emote, making it easier to keep track of who belongs to what season.

Appendix

An Appendix has been added to the in-game menu, providing a very useful resource to refresh yourself on certain game mechanics. Previously, some useful information only appeared in a brief text box pop-up, so the Appendix provides a place for you to re-read the information whenever you need it.

Bug Fixes

In addition to all of the items above, loads of bugs have been squashed in this coming update. There remain a few elusive ones due to complex nature of the game but overall, the game is more stable than ever. I appreciate all of the bug reports over the last couple of years and all of the patience granted to me in polishing the game.

What’s Next?

This update has been in the works since March and all of my focus has been on adding all of the new material and refining the game. When it comes to updates, however, this may be the last that adds new content to the game. I’ll continue to fix bugs to make Spirittea as great an experience as I can, but I feel like, 6 years later, I’ve finally achieved the experience I was going for.

Not all of my original ideas made it into the game, and some design decisions were questionable, but I’ve learned so much from seeing this project through to completion. I feel like I’ve grown as a designer, programmer, pixel artist, writer, and in so many other ways, due to all of the hats I was wearing.

I’ve got some fresh ideas brewing for future projects and I hope you’ll join me when it comes time to bring them to life. In the meantime, I’ll be balancing starting a new project with raising my son, and figuring out how all of that changes once my daughter arrives in November.

My sincerest thanks to everyone who has played Spirittea and/or talked about it in one way or another. I hope that it was a fun and memorable time. And thank you to all of the fantastic members of the Spirittea community. I’ve never met a more helpful and kind group of people.

Take care.

We hope you’ve all been having a blast with Spirittea! We’ve had so much fun since launch, including all the updates we’ve brought out! To celebrate, we’re part of Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration, which means you can grab Spirittea for 40% OFF!

Anyway, we’ve done so much for Spirittea since launch - shall we have a quick run-through?

We brought you the Specquackular Update where we added bathhouse ducks, and a new shop vendor!

We dropped the Helping Hands update where we brought a brand new hint system to help you out when catching spirits!

We added the Hook, Line & Spirit update where we totally overhauled the fishing system and made it way better and smoother!

We Phantom Friends update, where we brought you brand new quests and new spirits to catch, spirit pets, and a new spirit merchant! This was probably our biggest content update so far! Emphasis on so far…

And these were just some of the updates we brought you! We also dropped a physical edition for Spirittea on Switch, launched a super cute Wonyan plushie, and fixed a truckload of bugs & made endless quality of life improvements!

I wanted to end this update notice thanking everyone who has played, supported, shared and enjoyed Spirittea. This game has been such a joy to develop and will always be a keystone in my life’s story. I was able to start a family because of Spirittea and also take a big step into the world of game development. It’s been such a blessing to see people enjoying the game I poured years of my life into and I hope that it will always provide an escape for anyone who needs it.

Hi everyone!

We're finally here with another update, and it's a big one - the Phantom Friends Update!

We have a whole host of exciting new content in this update, including SPIRITS which we know you have all been dying to see more of! To make things even better, you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF in the Steam Autumn sale which goes live today! Enough from us though, should we get into it?

SPIRIT PETS! You'll now be able to summon spirits as pets, using pet shrines! Hunt down pet ritual scrolls for help on how to summon them, and you'll have your own spirit companion that might be a bit less grumpy (sorry Wonyan)

NEW SPIRITS & QUESTS! You'll find some new spirits about town which you'll need to have your spirit vision ready for... what possibly could they want?

One of the new spirits you'll find is a SPIRIT MERCHANT! You may need their help during one of the quests, or when it's time to summon a spirit, so make sure your spirituality is high enough...

And as always, we fixed a truckload of bugs, and added a bunch of quality of life improvements and more content to accommodate the new additions in this update! Here's the full breakdown:

Added Poegs to the game - it's a spirit pig that can be fed different foods and produces different coloured spirit essences (used in creating pets at pet shrine). Appears in-game if you've been in town until at least the 5th of the first year
Added Poeg detector to spirit shop inventory. It can show where the Poeg is located on the map screen (a little white pig icon)
Added pet shrines to the game, which can be used to summon pets
Added pet ritual scrolls to the game (instructions on how to create pets)
Added pet shrine to secret shop inventory
Added pet shrine to Song's shop rotation
Added pet shrine to secret shrine room
Added a NEW spirit merchant. Will only be visible and active as a shop if spirituality is more than or equal to 100
Added ability to scrub spirits for spirit materials (using broom)
Added new flower shrine quest (started once player unlocks the pond in the bathhouse)
Added a flower shrine to outside of the bathhouse area
Added spirit flowers types around town
Added 10 lion's mane spirit flowers around town
Added water to bathhouse upgradable pond
When the bathhouse pond has been upgraded, a watering can is spawned in front of it. The watering can is also added to the recovery shrine at this time. The watering can cannot be sold at the selling shrine
Added veggies to Ito's truck shop. Each day Ito is in town, 2 random veggies that grow in the wild can be sold at his truck shop. The next time Ito is in town, the veggies will be randomly picked again (so it's possible to see the same veggie again)
Added lasagna & the recipe for it
Ensured that Song's shop will be selling the spaghetti recipe, noodles, tomatoes and beef during the stage of the spirit quest where lasagna needs to be fed to the Poeg
Added tutorial for ceiling and floor brooms (the floor broom specifically describes how to get spirit materials)
Revised the backup achievement code check which triggers when you load your save file. It will check more efficiently if you've been in town at least one year and should have the Countryside Experience achievement
Fixed a bug where Kurkapi and Ribbard's songs wouldn't end when they were done bathing, or the bathhouse was closed
Fixed bug where playing the drinking minigame 6 times soft locked the minigame, and didn't naturally end with dialogue from an NPC
Fixed issue with Kim's quest's spirit where the spirit's depth was off when sitting in the tea fields (making it so the player could stand over top of its sprite when the player should be behind it)
Fixed Maru and Sora's positioning on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8pm (should be by the temple but were teleporting to the school)
Fixed "controller is disconnected" message font size for non-English languages
Added option to in-game menu to adjust deadzone level of joysticks
Added option to in-game menu to have the game auto detect controller inputs for you, or to manually set the controller being used
Added Aurum's background information to his spirit charm (updated when spirit tome is dug up)
Fixed Corvink's bathing type to be "Swimmer" instead of Regular
Adjusted spirit material drop rate to 45% chance and decreased required scrub time from 6 seconds to 5.5 seconds
Added a Wonyan scrubbing reminder/tutorial that triggers in the center of the main bathhouse room if the Poeg quest is done, and if the tutorial hasn't been triggered yet

We hope you all enjoy this super cute update! We'll let you know soon about when you can expect this update to drop on console, so keep an eye out!

Until next time, and good luck in your Poeg hunting!

Hi everyone!

We've hit a special milestone today - Spirittea turns 1!

Phew! A whole year since we launched Spirittea, and it's been a year full of exciting things! We've brought you a bunch of cool updates, new content - there's a ton of things! Not to mention, we've got a super exciting content update dropping very VERY soon, so keep an eye out for that! We're also part of Cozy Quest too, which means you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF!

But in the meantime, should we have a look at the last year?

A little bit after releasing Spirittea, we launched a Wonyan Plushie, so you could have your favourite spirit cat follow you wherever you went!

In Update 1.5.0, we made karaoke easier, added more cooking recipes, and added more language support! Not only that, the next few updates were RIDDLED with bug fixes and quality of life improvements!

In Update 1.5.6, we added a bunch of new UI elements, improved NPC behaviours, and fixed a long list of even more bugs!

In Update 1.5.8, we added inventory stacking, and added weekend bathhouse shifts!

In the SPECQUACKULAR Update, we added BATHHOUSE DUCKS (because how could we not), a new shop vendor called Ito, and new bathhouse seasonal mechanics!

In the Helping Hands Update, we added a hint system to help you out in case you got stumped with certain quests, so you were able to ask Wonyan for advice, alongside even more bug fixes!

In the Hook, Line & Spirit Update, we overhauled the fishing mini-game to make it even better and easier! We also added a night time darkness toggle & streamer mode, and hot springs animations!

In the Moving & Grooving Update, we added a bunch of new animations to the people in Spirittea to give them even more life in their hobbies & daily routines! We also added a recovery shrine, where you'd be able to find any quest related items you may have lost!

And finally, we launched the physical edition of Spirittea on Nintendo Switch, which you can still grab now by clicking here!

There's plenty more we've done with Spirittea this last year, and we can't wait to give you even more! Keep an eye out for the new content update dropping VERY soon - you'll want to get in the SPIRIT early...

Thank you everyone for making Spirittea the best it can be - here's to another year!

Hi everyone!

We're back with another Spirittea update - the Moving & Grooving Update! To celebrate, you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF right now!

This update brings some cool new content, alongside some quality of life changes & more bug fixes which we know you're going to love!

Here's what you can expect to find:

New NPC animations! We've finally added more animations to the townsfolk, so now when you walk around, you'll see them engaging in more activities and doing more with their daily routines!

A recovery shrine! If you ever lose an item that's related to a quest, then you'll be able to find it again here, so no more panicking over Eric's lost toothbrush!

We've also updated localisation, so all the changes and content we've added since launch will be in all of the languages in Spirittea!

Those are the major changes in this update - here's a full list of bug fixes & quality of life changes:

Fixed bug where large bath would remain frozen if heaters were placed on left or right side of bath
Finished adding Gale's, Jan's, Julian's, Kenzo’s, Ling’s, Maru’s and Kim’s animations
Changed how the shovel, net and rod look in water reflections
Fixed crashes around wind and atmosphere audio
Fixed a bug where blank spots in Fenias's shop would appear as a value of -1 if the player scrolled vertically
If an item disappears when moving between rooms, a pop up now occurs to highlight to the developers there has been an issue. The player will then be holding an invisible object rather than the game crashing like before.
Fixed an issue where Kim’s quest doesn’t count buying the small retro TV in progressing the quest
Added in all the new localised text!
Added a new face to the character customisation at the start of the game
Changed the photocamera to being purchasable just one from the shop, but also from the new recovery shrine
Removed brooms from Song’s shop and made them available at the recovery shrine
Changed the duck statue in the lord room to hopefully stop it from eating people’s items!
Added the item recovery shrine/shop to the stone shrine to the left of the town shop. Key items can be re-bought there if they're somehow lost
Added a backup for Miko’s quest in case spirit is teleported out of bounds, so the player can still complete the quest
Added the ability to clean and re-clean the duck debris around duck nests (though it returns after 5 days due to ducks losing feathers)
Fixed the friendships achievement triggering when raising friendship naturally in game (not loading from the main menu)
Removed the dust in the bathhouse which was unreachable for players to clean up
Fixed the bug where trying to remove multiple objects from the fridge or storage chest, with a full backpack, resulted in one of the object being created at the player's feet
Added 3 atmospheric cicada sound effects for summer
Removed friendship gained from digging at a spot already dug up
Fixed a bug where if the season changed to spring or summer and Jillian or Yari came to town, they wouldn't have the correct friendship level (unless the game was re-loaded from the main menu)
Boosted pumpkin grow chance from 30% to 70%

And that's all! We hope you have a ton of fun with this new update, stay tuned for the next one - we'll see you soon!

Hi everyone!

It's time for another big update to Spirittea! This time, we have been working on a big new feature, and a whole host of bugs have been taken care of! Are you ready to go FISHING?

Since our last update, we've been looking at feedback and watching folks play. Something we really wanted to make more engaging was the fishing minigame - so we totally redesigned it! From today, you can play the brand new minigame (complete with new targeting!) or switch in the options to keep the old minigame and play as you have been - it's totally up to you!

The new fishing system comes with a brand new casting bar to make sure you hit your target every time, then dives down under the waves to put you in control of reeling in your latest catch - can you time your fishing just right before your line snaps and you're sent reeling?

Every fish will have some stamina; it's up to you to outlast them, but keep your precious rod in one piece!

Alongside the new fishing, here are some quality-of-life changes & bug fixes we've added:

You can now toggle how dark it is at night to help you navigate better
Added a STREAMER MODE in the options to better hide away details about you in Moby's quest
Fixed a bunch of spooky bugs where some ducks could be deleted unintentionally, or their reflections would sit in baths where they weren't!
Made it so the big cherry blossom by the bathhouse goes transparent when the player walks behind it (to help with finding sakura blossoms)
Fixed it so that Spirits no longer leave towels in the unreachable void if you suddenly leave the bathhouse
Added ice (and icey sounds!!) to the rice paddies in winter
Fixed bug where karaoke on PC would display correct key bindings but would only accept default inputs
Added ability to change the text finished sound or to remove it completely
Added floor and ceiling brooms to Song's shop. Change the camera, repair kit, retro TV, quest for the end II, stinker statue, and Gamestation 7 to be able to be purchased more than once (for people that lost/sold them)
Added a Kenzo hotspring animation!
Fixed an issue where spirits would sometimes disappear when you put them in a bath

We hope you enjoy the new fishing - there's more where that came from! You can grab Spirittea now at 30% OFF and we'll see you next time!

Hi everyone!

We're bringing you a big Spirittea update, which we think you're all going to love - introducing the Helping Hands update!

To celebrate, we've got Spirittea as part of a Daily Deal, and you can grab it for 30% OFF!

It's been a massive last few months since we launched in November, which of course was the Cheesemaster's first ever launch. In between then and now, They've had a baby and moved to South Korea, so these last few months have been huge!

There's been so many things we've wanted to fix and update, and this update is the first of many! We appreciate all of you who have given Spirittea so much support, and been patient while we've been going through so many life changes. But now, we're so excited to bring you the first of many updates, all thanks to your feedback and bug reports!

Here's what we're bringing you with this update:

Introducing the Wonyan hint system! Now, whenever you're doing a quest and you're unsure of what to do, you can ask Wonyan for help in pointing you in the right direction!

When you interact with Wonyan, you'll see the option to ask for advice. Choose the quest you need help for, and Wonyan will give you some clues!

Not to mention, some quality of life changes & bug fixes:

The effect of drinking will wear off with a good sleep
Added naked reaction text for Ito! 😱
Fixed amount of friendship given to NPC if player wins minigame (was half of amount if NPC wins)
Removed poobird near the player's house that led to nowhere
Removed the early game Wonyan hint system (for Sujin's, Moby's and Young's quests)
Wonyan can't be talked to (get in your way) when the bathhouse is running (unless the tutorial hasn't been completed yet)
Slowed Clarence's bird watch animation
Fixed bug where fish couldn't be offered to the lord spirits and to regular bathing spirits
Fixed a crash when the player would hit bath monkeys with a net
Fixed an issue where food couldn't be given to spirits when attempting to give it from above spirits (aka spirits sitting in the top row of the bath)
Fixed a bug where if the recipe dropped by a crab (Julian's quest) spawns in an inaccessible place, re-entering the room will move the recipe to the beach
Fixed a bug where Amelia's and Clarence's quests were still both triggering on the mountain at the same time

This is just the first of many updates to come, and we can't wait to share with you what we have planned! Thanks again for your patience & support in making Spirittea even more amazing every time.

We'll see you soon, lazy bones!

We have some amazing news for Switch players, we're finally bringing you our most recent update - the SpecQUACKular Update!

But not only that, as well as new content, we're bringing you a whole host of changes, which means you'll be receiving all the updates & fixes players got on Steam, all in one go! Now you'll be completely up to date!

To start with, here's all the new content you can expect:

DUCKS! You'll now be able to have cute, algae eating ducks in your bathhouse! 🦆

You'll find a brand new shop vendor called Ito who will have a few new things to sell! His truck will pass through town here and there, so be sure to keep an eye out!

You'll notice new seasonal mechanics in the bathhouse! Depending on the season, you'll find your baths filling up with algae, ice, and even fallen leaves! Keep the baths clean (with the help of the ducks!) to make room for your spirits! Maybe the new bathhouse heaters might help? Perhaps a net might help pick up those pesky leaves outside?

We gave Bruce some new animations!

We added a reticule to fishing, so now it's even easier to see where the bobber will land and where exactly you're fishing!

And now, here's the full list of changes you can expect:

Drinking game changed to sinking cups!
Fixed error where items could be lost by placing them on shelves and tables
Fixed issues with items disappearing within inventory
Fixed issue where NPC’s would disappear behind the restaurant
Fixed bug where NPC’s would become stuck on a path upon reload
Fixed issue with Quill where on Saturday nights at the food stall he would ask if you want to stop hanging out with him
Issue fixed with NPC’s appearing on the map at a certain location but them actually not being there
Fixed issue where NPC’s couldn’t be found during tutorial quests whilst with Amelia if you had quit to main menu mid game
Fixed multiple issues in Miko’s quest around the mysterious rabbit and cake
Fixed issues with a softlock during Leigh’s quest if you spoke to the spirit behind the canvas
Doubled ugligrass spawn rate
Fixed issue with Clarence’s quest where the statues wouldn’t come back if you left the room
Fixed issues with the boar where they could hit the player when they were passing into another room

Fixed collision issue with Ito's truck
Fixed Ito's icon appearing where Yumi is on map
Fixed an issue where ducks being full wasn't reset upon a new day
Fixed bug where player can't pick something up after leaving bathhouse while attempting to hold duck
Fixed a bug where the green truck's collision box would be present even if the player was in a different room
Fixed bug where there appeared to be a stretched sprite drawn below the ducks occasionally
Fixed amount of friendship given to NPC if player wins minigame (was half of amount if NPC wins)
Fixed a bug where Amelia's and Clarence's quests were still both triggering on the mountain at the same time

Gave Fae a sleeping animation
Added sound effects to poobirds
Fish can be offered at the lord spirit offering table, as well as given to spirits while bathing
Allowed player to be able to run the bathhouse on the weekend even when Fae has an upgrade scheduled (because she's technically not working)
Modified quest code/save data so that the town board will now consider quests completed without needing to talk to NPCs after you've helped out the spirit. The NPCs will still have the post quest dialogue and the notebook won't be marked as completed until you talk to them, but the town board will take down the notice after you've helped the spirit
Made it so Yumi's quest can be triggered if it's 5 something pm, so long as she's not still in the school
Added backup code that will teleport Yumi to the correct spot at the end of her quest if her pathfinding fails for 3 seconds
Fixed the selling shrine displaying a -1 for a price
Fixed crash due to bath monkeys not being able to find a spot in the outdoor baths
Fixed the resale value of rice to be equal to the sale value (rather than worth more)
Changed criteria for the quest done stamp in the notebook (marked completed when expected. No post-quest dialogue needed to mark as complete)
Fixed a bug where oil beetle can't be caught in trap without crash
Fixed a bug (again) where NPC hobbies in notebook were being recorded as "1"
Fixed bug where the shop called seaweed "seaweed soup"
Fixed a bug where getting hit with snowball while biking makes bike disappear
Fixed a bug where biking while getting an item resulted in item floating and unable to be picked up
Edited player collision code to stop them from passing through the bridge on the east side of town
Fixed a bug where player could clip through the bridge on the right side of town
Tentatively fixed bug where game would crash and error report indicated bath monkeys were the cause
Added names to the bottoms of letters
Changed the end of Amelia's quest so that you can get the post-quest dialogue even if NPC is working the shop
Fixed a bug where Wonyan gave Morinoba's steam deck dialogue at end of game
Fixed bug where player couldn't pass through the temple tunnel
Seemed to fix bug where rabbit spirit in Miko's quest teleports through wall if you place the lure close to the purple door in Miko's house
Fixed book UI to make sure progress bar can't surpass the UI space for it
Fixed a bug where you can't cook fish in bathhouse
Fixed a bug where Amelia's quest status isn't reset after quest completion, so her freetime inquiries and dialogue are still quest-related
Fixed coding error with bath spots (hopefully related to why spirits sometimes disappear from tub)
Fixed (again) the mix-up between the two dig spot locations down by the temple area
Fixed some sloppy coding for Sujin's quest where the spirit might appear unresponsive
Manually set some NPCs to be performing certain actions during the "meet the townsfolk" segment of the intro
Made 2 books in Song's shop purchasable more than once
Fixed a spelling bug with Eric's dialogue about remembering to play music
Fixed a bug where button prompt to show details said "welcome to the karaoke minigame"
Bath monkeys won't be stuck levitating if you release them near a lamp, as well as when you're hovering over an object you can pick up
Fixed a crash when Yari is destroyed because the season switched to fall when the player slept
Removed NPC destroy event (moved code to clean up event)
Fixed Morinoba's dialogue when playing on Steam Deck
Removed train carriage destroy event and replaced it with clean up event
Blocked the boiler saw from being accessible until specific parts of the tutorial
Made the bathhouse tutorial entrance invisible blocker persistent during the tutorial so players can't break the tutorial by accidentally leaving at the wrong time
Added an extra line of clarification to the bathhouse upgrades UI (upon paying for an upgrade) indicating the day the upgrade will be finished, and stating that Fae will finish the upgrade at the end of her work day on that day
Fixed a bug where lord spirit text when moving between rooms would cause time to freeze
Changed some code to help with crashes when entering/exiting the bathhouse
Put a check in to destroy the train if it's somehow around when it's not 7am or 9pm
Fixed an issue where if you saved the game after seeing the bathhouse with Wonyan for the first time (exterior) and exited completely, you will now be able to progress the tutorial in the convenience store as intended
Fixed a bug where "blank text" text appears in Yumi's page of notebook
Fixed a bug where there was seemingly another character page in the notebook to the right of Yumi's page. Also removed the ability to flip past Yumi's (the last) page
Fixed a bug where if you were moving an object in storage or the fridge to a new location, and instead of selecting the new location you chose the initial spot, the item would disappear
Jan will now stop 35 pixels from the target NPC when helping the player find everyone, rather than stopping on top of them
Added backup to prevent baby boar from hitting player while player is entering a new room

Spirittea Update 1.5.8 is OUT NOW! What's next for Spirittea?

Hello everyone! We’ve got a new Spirittea update for you, which includes more bug fixes and small quality of life additions! To kick things off and to tide you over until the next big update, you can grab Spirittea for 20% OFF right now! Here's what you can expect to find in toda

Hello everyone!

We’ve got a new Spirittea update for you, which includes more bug fixes and small quality of life additions!

To kick things off and to tide you over until the next big update, you can grab Spirittea for 20% OFF right now!

Here's what you can expect to find in today's update:

Inventory stacking! We know you've all been waiting for this, and we're more than happy to deliver! Now, if you have more than one of the same item in your inventory, it'll stack instead of taking separate inventory slots! It'll stack in other places with storage too, like the chest in your house, fridges, etc.

And here's the full list of bug fixes and quality of life improvements:

Fixed issues with Morinoba’s dialogue when playing on Steam Deck
Added a sleeping animation for Fae
The poobirds now have sound effects!
The train carriage destroy event has been replaced with a clean up event
The boiler can’t be accessed until specific parts of the tutorial, to avoid unintended behavior
The invisible blocker during the bathhouse tutorial is now more prominent, to stop players from breaking the tutorial and accidentally leaving at the wrong time
Added more clarification to the bathhouse upgrades UI when you pay for an upgrade. It will now be indicated the day the upgrade will be finished and will inform the player that Fae will finish the upgrade at the end of her work day
The player can now run the bathhouse on the weekend, even when Fae has an upgrade scheduled, as she doesn’t work on the weekend
Fixed a crash relating to bath monkeys not being able to find a spot in the outdoor baths
Fixed a bug where Lord Spirit text would cause time to freeze when moving between rooms
Quests on the board and notebook will now complete regardless of whether you’ve spoken to the relevant NPC to tie up the quest
Fixed a bug where the selling shrine would display -1 as a price

What's next for Spirittea?

We have some big plans for Spirittea in 2024, so we thought we'd give you a sneak peek of what's to come in the next big update!

Seasonal factors! The changing in seasons is a big part of Spirittea, and we were thinking on how we could make this even better and more immersive. So, we thought, why not make the change in seasons even more obvious?

Now, whenever you're working in the bathhouse, you'll see the environment interact with you even more, depending on the season! In winter, you'll find ice in the baths, in Fall you'll see leaves falling into the baths, and in Spring you'll see Algae growing in them! (We know, more things to clean, sorry!)

Actually, we thought you could use some help with the cleaning, so how about some bathhouse ducks to clean up the Algae? 🦆

A new NPC vendor! The town can never have enough shops and vendors, so we thought we'd add another! This truck will drive through town occasionally, so be sure to be on time when it arrives!

This vendor will sell a bunch of new in-game items, including heaters for the bathhouse to keep your spirits warm during the winter, duck nests so you have ducks in your bathhouse, and more!

Improved character portraits! The characters in Spirittea are a big part of the game, especially considering how much time you spend with them, so we wanted to give them even more life and personality!

We know how much you all connect with these characters, so to make them feel even more human, we revamped their portraits to make sure their personalities really shine through! Now, as you increase your friendships with them, you'll notice their character portraits change the better friends you become with them!

That's it for now! We hope that's enough teasers to tide you over until the next update! Thanks to your feedback and bug reports, Spirittea just gets better and better! We can't wait to give you more, we'll see you in the next update!
