Since I last mentioned Onsen Master’s Kickstarter a couple of weeks ago, a few announcements have been made by the indie developers, Waking Oni. For one, the Kickstarter campaign has been funded 100% with the first stretch goal unlocked. The first stretch goal included additional skins for your playable character Mu. See below for news on this hot spring management game coming to PC and Mac sometime in 2020!
Onsen Master Partners with Whitehorn Digital
This is most exciting news as Whitehorn Digital are the indie publishers behind Calico; the adorable simulation game filled with magical girls, cats, and a cafe! With their support, the developers of Onsen Master can now bring the game to consoles! A more official announcement of platforms and release dates will be coming at a later date. For now, the aim is to bring Onsen Master to PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. If you’re a backer of the Kickstarter, you’ll soon be receiving a survey asking your preferred platform version.
Onsen Master Adds Multiplayer
The developers have announced that for the past month, they have been working on couch co-op for Onsen Master. They have just started testing an iteration with multiplayer now and it looks to be coming along nicely! Both players will each be controlling their own Mu (main character) which makes the stretch goal mentioned above a lot more fun to play around with. Meaning, you’ll be able to differentiate yourselves with additional costumes to wear during gameplay.
More information on the co-op feature will be coming soon as the developers are still uncertain on how it will be implemented saying the following: “Be it through the Main Story or the straight to the point Arcade Mode, you and a friend will soon be able to tackle rejuvenating the Onsens across Izajima!”
Look forward to finding out more as I keep a close eye on this frantic indie game inspired by Spirited Away and Overcooked where you greet customers, mix your ingredients, and heal their ailments!

Spirited Away meets Overcooked in this frantic customer management game!
We here at myPotatoGames are so excited that there is currently a project on Kickstarter that’s inspired by Spirited Away! For instance, you play as Mu and will come across many unique customers with specific needs, even Japanese spirits called yokai! Onsen Master consists of three main tasks: greet the customer, mix your ingredients and heal their ailments! Customers will queue at the entrance of each onsen and wait for you to guide them to a bath. Be sure to assist them quickly, as each customer has a timer and therein lies the similarities to Overcooked!
About Onsen Master
Onsen Master is a single-player hot spring customer management game coming to PC and Mac, late 2020. Players must revitalize various onsens across the fantasy island of Izajima! Create ingredients to match the various customer ailments, reconnect the communities that surround the onsens and discover the supernatural world that they’ve long since been disconnected from.
