The Walking Onsen

Welcome to spiritual THE WALKING ONSEN! Take a bathrobe, feel the warm spring water and get relaxed :)

Step into a cozy, hand-drawn fairytale world where you run a unique Japanese Onsen built inside a giant, walking teapot. Clean and bathe cute spiritual guests, craft healing potions, and brew herbal teas. As spirits and forest souls travel from all over, your role is to keep the bathhouse warm, comfortable, and inviting. Keep the fires burning with firewood, prepare fresh water, and make sure every guest feels right at home. Uncover forgotten stories, fill your diary with cute besties, explore new lands, and create your own peaceful routine in a heartwarming hand-drawn world.

Yes, really—all of the assets in the game were handcrafted. I mean that quite literally: I used real paper, pencils, watercolor, gouache, and other traditional materials to create them by hand. The finished paintings were then carefully scanned and brought into the game digitally, preserving the unique textures, imperfections, brushstrokes, and cozy details of the original artwork. I approached this game as a work of art. Every element was physically drawn, painted, and crafted by hand before becoming part of the digital world.

Thank you for taking the time to experience it! 

Tired and dirty forest souls visit your bathhouse to relax and heal. Welcome each adorable guest, guide them to the warm waters, and use sponges, brushes, and mild soaps to scrub away their mud and worries. Pay attention to what each guest needs—some just want a warm soak, while others need special care to feel better!

Become a master herbalist by collecting wild flowers, roots, and magic leaves. Brew soothing teas to calm your guests. Every spirit has a backstory and a unique personality. Talk to your visitors, listen to their memories, and learn about the world’s forgotten history. As you make new friends, record their profiles, favorite plants, and stories in your personal diary ("The Book of Everything") to build a complete encyclopedia of your besties.

Travel across snowy mountains, quiet forests, and hidden valleys. Open up new areas on your map, search for rare plants, and collect supplies. There are no timers or rushing here—enjoy a slow-paced routine of harvesting, brewing, cleaning, and making friends at your own speed.
