Onsen Master

Publisher Whitethorn Games and developer Waking Oni Games today announced that Onsen Master, a hot spring customer management game, will be released on Switch. It’s due out later this summer.

Onsen Master takes inspiration from the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away which has the protagonist working with spirits at a bathhouse. That led to the title’s hot spring customer management gameplay as well as the Japanese setting and aesthetic. Onsen Master has seen five years of development, a successful Kickstarter campaign and beta period, and a partnership with Whitethorn Games.

APICO

While APICO has already appeared on PC, publisher Whitethorn Games and developer TNgineers have announced that they’re putting the title on Switch. The beekeeping sim will be out on July 7, 2022 complete with cross-platform play.
