Spirittea News

Hi everyone!

We hope you’ve all been having a blast with Spirittea! We’ve had so much fun since launch, including all the updates we’ve brought out! To celebrate, we’re part of Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration, which means you can grab Spirittea for 40% OFF!

Anyway, we’ve done so much for Spirittea since launch - shall we have a quick run-through?

We brought you the Specquackular Update where we added bathhouse ducks, and a new shop vendor!



We dropped the Helping Hands update where we brought a brand new hint system to help you out when catching spirits!



We added the Hook, Line & Spirit update where we totally overhauled the fishing system and made it way better and smoother!



We Phantom Friends update, where we brought you brand new quests and new spirits to catch, spirit pets, and a new spirit merchant! This was probably our biggest content update so far! Emphasis on so far…



And these were just some of the updates we brought you! We also dropped a physical edition for Spirittea on Switch, launched a super cute Wonyan plushie, and fixed a truckload of bugs & made endless quality of life improvements!



So I bet you’re wondering, what’s next for Spirittea? Well, we’re working away on some big things here and we’ve got some super cool things coming, so let’s just say the next update is probably going to be Spirittea’s biggest yet. While we don’t want to spoil everything just yet, we’ll slowly be giving you sneak peeks at what you can expect to come, so keep an eye out!

But, we didn’t just want to leave you with nothing, so here’s a little teaser! You can expect to find a mysterious new shrine in town that's going to bring a brand new riddle system, which can lead to some big rewards!


Thank you for tuning in and the endless support you’ve given Spirittea so far! We can’t wait to bring you even more exciting content, we’ll be sharing more with you very soon, but for now to end this update, here’s a small message from Dan at Cheesemaster Games:

I wanted to end this update notice thanking everyone who has played, supported, shared and enjoyed Spirittea. This game has been such a joy to develop and will always be a keystone in my life’s story. I was able to start a family because of Spirittea and also take a big step into the world of game development. It’s been such a blessing to see people enjoying the game I poured years of my life into and I hope that it will always provide an escape for anyone who needs it.

Hi everyone!

The Phantom Friends Update is LIVE on Nintendo Switch & Xbox!

We've been working hard behind the scenes in getting this update out to you lovely console people, so we're super glad we can pass it over to you!

Not only this, but you can grab Spirittea for 40% OFF right now as part of the Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity sale, with proceeds going towards a children's cancer centre!

Need a reminder on what you can expect to find in this update? Don't worry, here's a little refresher:

SPIRIT PETS! You'll now be able to summon spirits as pets, using pet shrines! Hunt down pet ritual scrolls for help on how to summon them, and you'll have your own spirit companion that might be a bit less grumpy (sorry Wonyan)



NEW SPIRITS & QUESTS! You'll find some new spirits about town which you'll need to have your spirit vision ready for... what possibly could they want?



One of the new spirits you'll find is a SPIRIT MERCHANT! You may need their help during one of the quests, or when it's time to summon a spirit, so make sure your spirituality is high enough...



Alongside these you can find loads of bug fixes, and more new content to accommodate the new features! We hope you all enjoy this super cute update, and thanks again for your patience!

Have a great time pet hunting - we'll see you soon!

Hi everyone!

• Set the upper tiles of the first floor of the school walls to be visible again
  
• Player will revert from Tanuki form when sleeping in the bed
  
• It got a bit windy, so we reduced how often wind blows
  
• It's now slightly easier to approach bugs on trees without scaring them

• Gave Amelia proper responses to questions she asks you
  
• Optimized performance related to textures
  
• Performance improvements related to objects drawn in-game
  
• More optimization with firefly spawning
  
• Adjusted the invisible wall on the ledge at the very northwest part of town (before you could nearly walk onto the water)
  
• Fixed bug where facing a monkey in the hot springs and trying to select something in your bag resulted in a crash
  
• Fixed an issue related to player movement speed
  
• FIxed Clarence's walking path around town (at 10pm on Sunday nights) so he doesn't just teleport to bed
  
• Fixed some small localization errors

• Fixed bug where Ito said one of Sujin's quest hint lines

From everyone at Cheesemaster Games & No More Robots, we want to wish you a very Happy Christmas & New Year! We can't wait to show you what Spirittea has in store in 2025!

Hi everyone!

We're finally here with another update, and it's a big one - the Phantom Friends Update!

We have a whole host of exciting new content in this update, including SPIRITS which we know you have all been dying to see more of! To make things even better, you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF in the Steam Autumn sale which goes live today! Enough from us though, should we get into it?

SPIRIT PETS! You'll now be able to summon spirits as pets, using pet shrines! Hunt down pet ritual scrolls for help on how to summon them, and you'll have your own spirit companion that might be a bit less grumpy (sorry Wonyan)



NEW SPIRITS & QUESTS! You'll find some new spirits about town which you'll need to have your spirit vision ready for... what possibly could they want?



One of the new spirits you'll find is a SPIRIT MERCHANT! You may need their help during one of the quests, or when it's time to summon a spirit, so make sure your spirituality is high enough...



And as always, we fixed a truckload of bugs, and added a bunch of quality of life improvements and more content to accommodate the new additions in this update! Here's the full breakdown:

• Added Poegs to the game - it's a spirit pig that can be fed different foods and produces different coloured spirit essences (used in creating pets at pet shrine). Appears in-game if you've been in town until at least the 5th of the first year
  
• Added Poeg detector to spirit shop inventory. It can show where the Poeg is located on the map screen (a little white pig icon)
  
• Added pet shrines to the game, which can be used to summon pets
  
• Added pet ritual scrolls to the game (instructions on how to create pets)
  
• Added pet shrine to secret shop inventory
  
• Added pet shrine to Song's shop rotation
  
• Added pet shrine to secret shrine room
  
• Added a NEW spirit merchant. Will only be visible and active as a shop if spirituality is more than or equal to 100
  
• Added ability to scrub spirits for spirit materials (using broom)
  
• Added new flower shrine quest (started once player unlocks the pond in the bathhouse)
  
• Added a flower shrine to outside of the bathhouse area
  
• Added spirit flowers types around town
  
• Added 10 lion's mane spirit flowers around town
  
• Added water to bathhouse upgradable pond
  
• When the bathhouse pond has been upgraded, a watering can is spawned in front of it. The watering can is also added to the recovery shrine at this time. The watering can cannot be sold at the selling shrine
  
• Added veggies to Ito's truck shop. Each day Ito is in town, 2 random veggies that grow in the wild can be sold at his truck shop. The next time Ito is in town, the veggies will be randomly picked again (so it's possible to see the same veggie again)
  
• Added lasagna & the recipe for it
  
• Ensured that Song's shop will be selling the spaghetti recipe, noodles, tomatoes and beef during the stage of the spirit quest where lasagna needs to be fed to the Poeg
  
• Added tutorial for ceiling and floor brooms (the floor broom specifically describes how to get spirit materials)
  
• Revised the backup achievement code check which triggers when you load your save file. It will check more efficiently if you've been in town at least one year and should have the Countryside Experience achievement
  
• Fixed a bug where Kurkapi and Ribbard's songs wouldn't end when they were done bathing, or the bathhouse was closed
  
• Fixed bug where playing the drinking minigame 6 times soft locked the minigame, and didn't naturally end with dialogue from an NPC
  
• Fixed issue with Kim's quest's spirit where the spirit's depth was off when sitting in the tea fields (making it so the player could stand over top of its sprite when the player should be behind it)
  
• Fixed Maru and Sora's positioning on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8pm (should be by the temple but were teleporting to the school)
  
• Fixed "controller is disconnected" message font size for non-English languages
  
• Added option to in-game menu to adjust deadzone level of joysticks
  
• Added option to in-game menu to have the game auto detect controller inputs for you, or to manually set the controller being used
  
• Added Aurum's background information to his spirit charm (updated when spirit tome is dug up)
  
• Fixed Corvink's bathing type to be "Swimmer" instead of Regular
  
• Adjusted spirit material drop rate to 45% chance and decreased required scrub time from 6 seconds to 5.5 seconds
  
• Added a Wonyan scrubbing reminder/tutorial that triggers in the center of the main bathhouse room if the Poeg quest is done, and if the tutorial hasn't been triggered yet
  

We hope you all enjoy this super cute update! We'll let you know soon about when you can expect this update to drop on console, so keep an eye out!

Until next time, and good luck in your Poeg hunting!

Hi everyone!

We've hit a special milestone today - Spirittea turns 1!

Phew! A whole year since we launched Spirittea, and it's been a year full of exciting things! We've brought you a bunch of cool updates, new content - there's a ton of things! Not to mention, we've got a super exciting content update dropping very VERY soon, so keep an eye out for that! We're also part of Cozy Quest too, which means you can grab Spirittea for 30% OFF!

But in the meantime, should we have a look at the last year?

A little bit after releasing Spirittea, we launched a Wonyan Plushie, so you could have your favourite spirit cat follow you wherever you went!



In Update 1.5.0, we made karaoke easier, added more cooking recipes, and added more language support! Not only that, the next few updates were RIDDLED with bug fixes and quality of life improvements!



In Update 1.5.6, we added a bunch of new UI elements, improved NPC behaviours, and fixed a long list of even more bugs!



In Update 1.5.8, we added inventory stacking, and added weekend bathhouse shifts!



In the SPECQUACKULAR Update, we added BATHHOUSE DUCKS (because how could we not), a new shop vendor called Ito, and new bathhouse seasonal mechanics!


In the Helping Hands Update, we added a hint system to help you out in case you got stumped with certain quests, so you were able to ask Wonyan for advice, alongside even more bug fixes!


In the Hook, Line & Spirit Update, we overhauled the fishing mini-game to make it even better and easier! We also added a night time darkness toggle & streamer mode, and hot springs animations!



In the Moving & Grooving Update, we added a bunch of new animations to the people in Spirittea to give them even more life in their hobbies & daily routines! We also added a recovery shrine, where you'd be able to find any quest related items you may have lost!



And finally, we launched the physical edition of Spirittea on Nintendo Switch, which you can still grab now by clicking here!



There's plenty more we've done with Spirittea this last year, and we can't wait to give you even more! Keep an eye out for the new content update dropping VERY soon - you'll want to get in the SPIRIT early...

Thank you everyone for making Spirittea the best it can be - here's to another year!
