Hello!

Since the last demo update at the end of last month, many newly developed features have been added to the demo version as well.

Please check out the update details below!


You can now hire and upgrade staff members.
When animals use facilities they like, they may send you a job application.
You can review the applications and decide whether to hire or decline them.

There are 24 basic animals in total, with 3 types for each of the 8 categories. These basic animals cannot be upgraded.
However, unique characters like Maltese, Retriever, and other special characters obtained through certain conditions can be upgraded.

In the demo version, you can hire up to 10 staff members.
In the full version, you will be able to hire many more.


You can interact with friends who are also playing Animal Spa.
You may unlock basic animals that your friend has but you don’t, or receive stars instead.

You can check the detailed usage in-game by pressing the ? button.


In the updated demo version, you can now unlock and play the “Cherry Blossom City” and “Bamboo Garden” stages.
Stages can be unlocked using keys obtained by collecting 24 medals in each stage.

Once a stage is unlocked, new characters, BGM, and decorative items become available.


Guests will send you letters when they enjoy using their favorite facilities.
In the full version, each animal will have 6 letters, totaling 48 unique letters.
Unlocking letters will also reward you with new BGM tracks.

In the demo version, only 1 letter per animal can be unlocked.

Several new operational facilities have been added to support more efficient bathhouse management.
You can assign hired staff or set budgets to optimize your operations.

If you encounter any bugs or have feedback while playing the newly updated demo version, please share them in the Steam community forums or on our Discord[discord.gg].

We will continue working to deliver a more polished full release.

Thank you!

Hello!

Many of you may be wondering what kind of content will be available in the full release version of Animal Spa, especially after trying out the demo. We’d like to share some of the content currently in development!


A total of 9 stages will be available, including the first stage.

• Neighborhood: The basic stage you may have already played in the demo.
  
• Sakura City: A city where cherry blossom petals beautifully drift through the air.
  
• Bamboo Garden: A serene garden filled with swaying bamboo.
  
• Autumn Village: A village covered in colorful autumn leaves with a cool breeze.
  
• Winter Town: A winter-themed village that brings warm hot springs to mind.
  
• Harbor City: A bustling port city filled with the scent of the sea.
  
• High Mountain Village: A high-altitude village with a stunning scenic view.
  
• Fairy Tale Forest: A dreamlike forest village straight out of a storybook.
  
• City of the Sun: A city bathed in bright, intense sunlight.

Unlocking new stages will also grant you stage-specific characters and exclusive decorations.

This is the long-awaited hiring and staff management system that many have asked about.
As animals enjoy their favorite facilities in the bathhouse, some will send in job applications.

There are 3 general animals per role category — they can be hired at a low cost, but cannot be upgraded.
Special animals cost more to hire but can be upgraded for better performance.



A facility where staff members print and distribute flyers outside.
The faster their movement speed and the higher their stamina, the quicker they can spread flyers.

Guests who receive flyers are more likely to leave stars when using the bathhouse.


As guests use their favorite facilities, 8 different types of animal guests will occasionally send you letters.
Through their stories — happy or difficult — you can unlock music tracks tied to those episodes.

The jukebox lets you play unlocked tracks or even create and manage your own playlist.


Assign staff to sell bath products.
Guests who own bath products will sit at the shower stall with bubbly shampoo effects on their heads — and they’ll tip more gold when they leave.


As the name suggests, this allows you to change the design of the mats in facilities that use them!


We've added corner items to help resolve those frustrating panel connections that didn’t quite match up.
When L-shaped or T-shaped panel layouts are used, placing this item at the connecting point will automatically adjust its appearance to match the surrounding structure.

This item is great for organizing single-panel spaces or neatly dividing rooms.


We’re adding a variety of decorative items, including sinks, toilets, outdoor ornaments, and water dispensers for baths!

Many more features are also in the works!
We plan to release an updated demo version in April, which will include some of the systems mentioned above.
If all goes well, we’re aiming for a full release around mid-May.

We’ll continue to share development updates—thank you so much for your interest and support!
Please stay tuned! 💛
