New gameplay trailer released for Spirittea

Publishing label No More Robots (Hypnospace Outlaw, Descenders) and development studio Cheesemaster Games previously announced that they’re bringing their rural-life RPG Spirittea to Switch sometime in 2022. This is a life sim set in rural East Asia that sees players fixing up an old bathhouse, and helping dozens of spirits to find their peace.

If you want to get a better look at what Spirittea has to offer, you can enjoy the brand-new gameplay trailer above.

Inspired in equal measure by iconic life sim Stardew Valley, and classic spirit-focused anime and manga, Spirittea follows a writer who has escaped to the countryside, in order to clear their head and find inspiration for their next novel.

Wait! Who the heck are you?! Can you see me? You CAN, can’t you? You’ve drunk the Spirittea and now you can see me!! Look, we’ve got problems! This town is crawling with troublemaking spirits. They’ve become lost because humans have stopped worshipping, leaving offerings or even thinking about them anymore.

This is- well… used to be a nice town, but there have been some strange goings-on lately! You’re going to find the spirits causing mayhem and fix their problems so they can become paying customers, and get to know the townspeople and explore the mountain to its fullest!
