The game has a really fun aesthetic, but ultimately I think it’s dragged down by its repetitiveness and lack of polish. Definitely worth a play for anyone who enjoys games like Stardew Valley.
I will burn whoever made the karaoke minigame in this game at the stake.
Stardew Valley meets Spirited Away. A few neat ideas with some interesting gameplay with the bathhouse but somewhat lacking NPCs. Admittedly I didn't delve very deep into this game but other than the dog I didn't really care for any of the NPCs, unlike something like Stardew Valley which this game clearly took inspiration from.
I'm not sure how to describe it but something about the movement controls feels wrong too. It feels like when you stick in a basic move script when prototyping a game, but then in this case just left it at that.
I never expected I'd ever say this, but I wish the NPCs walked slower when you were following them. They move at exactly the same speed as you sprinting, which means its really difficult to keep up with them.
I'll never complain about Bethesda NPCs walking too slow again.
I do wish I could love this game because I think it definitely has potential, but in its current state I'm not going to continue playing.

Cleaning up that dirty ass bathhouse was the only motivating activity in this game. Other then that you feel the love that went into the whole gimmick (playable spirited away in stardew valley coziness). Unfourtenaly this good idea lacks fun gameplay/ captivating stories and is mostly a grindy yawn of a game.
I think this game is just bad at everything it tries to do. But, i dunno. Its a good idea for a game and i guess they tried
It's a bit hard to figure out what I should be doing at times, and got a bit repetitive. It also sucked to have glitches like my broom completely not working unless I closed the game entirely. I shelved for now and may pick up again later.
I really love how original it is while also preserving the typical vibe you get from pixel games like stardew valley. In terms of storyline, your goals, and how to make friends, this game introduces a different approach especially being able to hang out with the townfolks. Most especially, i love how spirited away coded this game is. Really wish there was a romance route too because the characters are soooo fine
New update has made it harder, as the townsfolk will glitch out or disappear for a while. I really want to like this game, but it needs more work to make it playable and more fun.
Game is a cross between Stardew Valley and Spirited Away. Life sim where you have to unlock spirits and then unlock the bathhouse where they will come by and pay you for a fancy bath. There are a number of village residents to befriend, a mountain area you need to unlock, and recipes to cook up.
Game does not feel polished enough to be finished, but I do enjoy what I've seen so far. Be prepared for some glitches and finicky play. My biggest issue with the game is the minigames - they're not all that fun and are necessary in order to more easily befriend the villagers. Bug collecting is hard because it's so finicky. Fishing is a bit of a chore.
Still it's fun, though.

I really like this game despite the fact it is a little glitchy and a bit short , but there is a bunch of things you can do and some of the spirits are really interesting. like some of the spirits mess with the game a bit to find them , that is like a really interesting thing. (update: so I encountered a glitch I do hope the devs fix , its where your bicycle can disappear and you can't get another one. )
{update as of Dec/3/2023 the update for the game of switch has been released and when i played it I found my bike , now i don't know if i did get it back from the update or just forgot where i last putted it.
