Become the manager of your very own bath house for spirits in the cute upcoming indie Sprittea.
The world of adorable indie games grows more vast by the day. Time to add another to the expansive list, as Spirittea is currently in production by solo developer Dan Beckerton. Take all the good things about a relaxing, zen sim-life game, and add a few disgruntled spirits in much need of some R&R, and you’ve got Spirittea.
This game is currently running a kickstarter campaign. There you can find more information, as well as have the chance to be a part of the development.
What is Spirittea?
The plot of the game is as relaxing as the title infers. After arriving in a new town, you immediately get the feel that something is not right. This is proven to be true when you drink tea from a mysterious pot that gives you the ability to see into the spirit world.
It very quickly becomes clear what is the problem with the town. This particular community is overrun with disgruntled spirits. So what do you do? You turn your new home into a bath house for spirits. This way, you help all the sad souls finally find peace!
Features to expect.
One of the primary goals in the game is proper business management. Expect all the intricacies we’ve come to know over years of playing management games. Make upgrades and improvements to your business to make for happier customers. In this case, it just happens to be melancholy ghosts.
Spirritea will also feature many of the goodies that we know and love from many of todays popular life-sim games. There will be a bit of fishing, with a healthy variety slippery buggers to catch. You can also go digging for buried treasure or do a little bug catching in your spare time. There will also be a day/night cycle, as well as changing seasons, so we can expect to sink many hours into this cute indie.
More info!
Spirittea is currently in development, and there is no release date. Dan mentioned that the game will release initially on PC and Mac, then later for iOS and Android. Eventually, when time and funds allow, the game will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
For plenty more information on Spirittea, visit the game on Kickstarter! For up-to-date info on the game, be sure to follow the developer on Twitter! The developer mentions taking inspiration from movies like Spirit Away and games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley!

Nintendo never fails to disappoint in the humour and quirkiness department when it comes to Animal Crossing. From the crackers that villagers often come out with, to players getting trolled by Phyllis before trolling was a thing, the anthropomorphic franchise provides endless amusement. With the popularity of relatable humor in today’s culture, I thought I’d compile a post on 10 relatable things said in Animal Crossing.
1. Anything but moving…
2. Food and video games…
3. #StudentLife
4. When you become close enough friends with someone that insulting each other is the norm.
5. When your tall friends insist on using you as an armrest.
6. #RetailLife
7. How it feels to become an adult.
8. When your already tall friend decides to wear heels.
9. When your conscience insists on always ruining your fun.
10. Happens to me all the time.
If you are anything like me and you can’t get enough of Animal Crossing, make sure to take a look at this designated Animal Crossing section on myPotatoGames for everything Animal Crossing, including some cool phone wallpapers.

Father’s Day is tomorrow so we here at myPotatoGames wanted to take a moment to appreciate the various types of fatherly figures IRL and in videogames. Even if you were created and not born by conventional means like Mega Man, a dad can still be someone that looks after you. Even Tom Nook is an uncle/guardian or perhaps even a mentor to Timmy and Tommy. He’s actually quite the misunderstood fellow too, so we hear. So let’s take a moment to appreciate dads and vote! Happy Father’s Day to our Potato Family!
If you’re still looking for that perfect gift for your gamer dad, we got an awesome list of ideas for you here.
