Onsen Master Arrives on September 1st!

Help the Island of Izajima Finally Relax – Wrangle Hot-Headed Customers into Soothing Springs, Cure Their Ailments, and Fend Off Troublesome Yokai in Arcade-Style Gameplay

Today, Whitethorn Games — publisher of cozy indie hits such as APICO, Wytchwood, and Lake — alongside developer Waking Oni Games are overjoyed to announce that the arcade-style hot spring customer management game, Onsen Master, is launching on September 1, 2022.

The game will be available for Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Onsen Master features arcade-style single and two-player co-op, where players must manage the customers of their hot springs, and prepare and put together the correct ingredients to cure their ailments. Running around the hot springs, wrangling wandering customers, and putting the right concoctions into the right baths can be hectic enough already, but troublesome yokai look to impede players’ excellent service as well.

Players will take on the role of his apprentice, Mu, in order to restore balance and uncover what happened to the Onsen Master!
