Hello everyone!
It’s already been a month since the game launched.
Although version 1.1 brought some new characters and decorations, we know many of you were hoping for even more guests, more decor, and improvements to some of the game’s inconveniences.
To celebrate the Steam Summer Sale, we’re offering a 12% discount — and with it, our hot spring has gone through some big changes.
Check out all the details below!
New Content
New Characters: Calico Cat, Angora Rabbit, White Goat
Three new characters — the Calico Cat, Angora Rabbit, and White Goat — are visiting your hot spring!
Just like other special-grade guests, these animals will appear once certain conditions are met.
New Systems
Decoration Rotation
You can now rotate many of the decorative objects!
To maintain data stability, this applies mainly to direction-specific items.
Click on an item and press the R key to rotate it.
Customize the Maltese
You can now dress up our beloved hot spring owner, the Maltese!
Separate from the staff hats, the Maltese can wear both head and body outfits.
There are plenty of cute options available, such as a work uniform, casualwear, flower hat, sunglasses, and more.
If the staff hat interferes with the look, you can now disable it just for the Maltese.
You can access the new Maltese Customization tab via the newly added Franchise Management Desk or by clicking on the Maltese directly.
All customization items can be purchased using points earned through this desk.
Guest Thoughts
You can now click on guests to read their thoughts!
See what they’re thinking or planning to do next.
Enhanced Stage Identity
Save Slot Points
You can now earn points from each of your save slots.
Points accumulate every minute based on how much currency that slot generates per minute, and each stage gives a different type of currency based on its theme.
These currencies can be used to purchase Maltese customization items — and we plan to expand their use even further in future updates.
Staff Dispatch System
To ease the burden of starting a new save slot, we’ve added a Staff Dispatch Desk that lets you copy staff from other slots.
Dispatched staff will stay employed only for a limited time before leaving automatically.
You can upgrade the dispatch duration and max number of dispatched staff through the Staff Training Room.
51 New Letters & BGMs from Stage Residents
A total of 51 new letters from stage residents have been added, each accompanied by a unique BGM reflecting the story.
You can obtain these letters by having guests enjoy their favorite facilities.
The base stage includes 3 letters, while each of the other 8 stages includes 6.
Enjoy the View Through the Window!
We’ve added new window decoration items you can place on walls.
Through them, you’ll see stage-specific backgrounds, and the scenery will change its tone depending on the time of day.
Use these windows to bring out the mood and charm of each stage!
Don’t forget — this update goes live on Friday, June 27, the start of the Steam Summer Sale!
About the Name Change
As we localize the game into more languages and expand it to a global audience, we’ve changed the original title “Animal Spa” to a more distinctive and descriptive name:
“Maltese's Fluffy Onsen”.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by this change, and we’re doing our best to continue building a cozy and content-rich hot spring experience.
Thank you for your continued support!
