Your big-city dreams are put on hold when you’re called back home to save your father’s struggling bath house business, perched high on a remote mountain. As you manage the daily operations, you’ll encounter a cast of strange guests, each hiding secrets and stories that intertwine with the mystical allure of the mountain. Blend management simulation, exploration, and narrative choices to revive the bath house—and uncover the mysteries that make this "Eden" truly one-of-a-kind.
🏔️ Immersive Setting & Atmosphere
1. Mountainous Sanctuary: The bath house is nestled atop a secluded mountain, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and unpredictable weather. The environment isn’t just a backdrop—it influences gameplay, with seasonal changes affecting guest visits, resource availability, and even triggering unique events like fog-bound mysteries or starlit gatherings.
2. Dynamic Bath House Management: Take charge of every aspect of the business, from heating the springs and maintaining facilities to crafting herbal blends and decorating guest rooms. Neglect leads to declining reviews, while upgrades attract high-profile visitors and unlock new story branches.
3. Atmospheric Storytelling: The mountain’s lore is woven into gameplay through discoverable journals, guest dialogues, and environmental clues. Uncover why the bath house is a magnet for "strange guests" and how its history ties into your family’s past.
🎭 Characters & Guest Interactions
1. Eccentric Guest System: Encounter over 20 unique guests, from reclusive artists seeking inspiration to enigmatic travelers hiding supernatural traits. Each has a personalized questline, requiring you to balance their needs with business demands—for example, a guest demanding midnight access to the springs might reveal a hidden pathway.
2. Relationship Building: Forge bonds through dialogue choices, gift-giving, and completing requests. Trust levels unlock backstories, alter guest behavior, and even lead to romantic subplots. However, offending guests could result in negative reviews or sabotage.
3. Guest-Driven Events: Random events test your management skills—a sudden avalanche might trap guests, forcing you to organize rescue efforts, or a celestial alignment could transform the springs, granting temporary buffs like "enhanced intuition" for puzzle-solving.
🎮 Gameplay Mechanics & Progression
1. Resource Management: Gather herbs, minerals, and rare ingredients from the mountain to craft amenities, cook meals, and brew medicinal teas. Scarcity during winter months requires strategic stockpiling, while rare items can be traded for premium rewards.
2. Exploration & Secrets: Venture beyond the bath house to explore hidden caves, sacred shrines, and forgotten trails. Puzzles often require combining items or deciphering environmental clues, with discoveries revealing new upgrades, guest profiles, or even altering the mountain’s mystical properties.
3. Narrative Branching: Choices during crises (e.g., prioritizing profit over guest safety) impact the bath house’s reputation, character relationships, and endings. Multiple endings range from becoming a legendary host to uncovering the mountain’s primordial secret.
✨ Unique Features & Replayability
1. Sanctuary Customization: Expand and personalize the bath house with architectural styles ranging from traditional Japanese onsens to mystical forest-themed pools. Each design attracts different guest types and unlocks exclusive interactions.
2. New Game+ Mode: Replay with carried-over upgrades and guest knowledge to access previously locked areas, solve deeper mysteries, and achieve hidden endings. A "Guest Randomizer" option ensures no two playthroughs feel identical.
3. Community Integration: Hidden Easter eggs encourage players to share findings online, such as decoding mountain symbols or collaborating on guest backstories. Developer-led events may introduce seasonal guests and limited-time story arcs.
