Animal Spa is officially launched today!
We’d like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who has supported us with your encouragement and feedback, helping us make Animal Spa a more complete and enjoyable experience.
Additionally, to celebrate the official launch, the game will be available at a 10% discount for two weeks—don’t miss it!
The Journey of Animal Spa
Animal Spa began when the developers at Moonlab Studio and Sinkhole Studio visited public bathhouses while attending various game shows. Inspired by the fact that there weren’t many games themed around public bathhouses, we decided to combine the relaxing monitor-idle simulation style of Rusty’s Retirement with a bathhouse theme.
We started development in December 2024, and released the demo in February as part of Steam Next Fest, where it ranked in the Top 25 Most Played Demos.
Based on valuable feedback from players on Discord and the Steam Community, we continued polishing the game—and today, we are proud to officially launch it!
🛁 What Can You Enjoy in the Full Version?
🗺️ New Themed Maps
In addition to the starting town map, the full version includes eight themed stages.
From a seaside port city with a refreshing ocean breeze, to a fairytale forest covered with giant mushrooms, to a snowy and peaceful winter town—
collect keys and take your dog to explore a bigger world with beautiful day and night cycles.
🐾 More Animal Guests Arriving
Furry sea otters, elegant reindeer, shy European rabbits...
In the full version, as you unlock new stages, more animal customers will visit your spa.
And if you meet certain requirements, you can even unlock mystery characters!
🛠️ Customize Your Spa
From bath product stalls to snack stands and jukeboxes,
the full version comes with richer facilities and decorations to customize your spa.
Use these items to create your very own spa style!
💌 Collect Animal Letters, Music, and New Illustrations
Provide great service to satisfy your customers and unlock their letters and stories,
as well as new songs.
We’ve also added unique illustrations for every letter—
little animals, who aren't good with words, have picked up their paintbrushes to share their memories.
👨👩👧👦 Build Your Professional Staff Team & More
With Little White, Golden Retriever, and Baby Oggo,
recruit more partners to help run your spa, welcome customers, and distribute flyers!
You can even upgrade your team with the Staff Training Room.

Future Updates
We still have many fun ideas we’d love to bring to Animal Spa!
After the official launch, we’ll continue to explore updates based on your feedback and our development schedule.
In addition, we plan to add Steam Points Shop items in the near future!
