Summer cicadas buzz, and the clamor of the fireworks festival remains etched in memory as the story of Hot Spring Town continues. As usual, you water the rice fields in the morning, fish in the pond in the afternoon, and stroll along the seaside at dusk. But this time, the town brings even more surprises.
"Revive Hot Spring Town!," a new countryside simulation game developed by Bingbing Studio and published by HARRISONWORLD, has officially launched its demo version on Steam, bringing more main storyline content, richer management gameplay, and freer exploration experiences. Welcome to this warm and romantic world, and witness the growth of Hot Spring Town alongside Kyoko and the Mayor.
Interwoven main and side stories create summer memories in the town
In the new demo, both main and side storylines continue to unfold. Kyoko and the Mayor will team up for their first live stream, showcasing the charm of Hot Spring Town to the world. Meanwhile, you can experience the deepening affinity system with residents. The new side quest "Visit Ayumi's House" is now open. Step into her flower-scented courtyard, experience the complete process of flower picking and alchemy, and feel the warm bonds between the townsfolk amidst the scent of herbs and petals.
Farm Management: Experience the convenience of simulation management firsthand
Beyond the farmland, a brand-new paddy field awaits cultivation. Maintain water quality and grow aquatic crops, experiencing a farming rhythm distinctly different from dry fields. Additionally, ranching has made its return, making raising animals and harvesting more convenient. The world map also features a new farm visualization management function, allowing you to access the management interface directly from the map to view all resources and coordinate your farm's operations.
Enrich your leisurely gaming experience and make country life more fulfilling
Fishing, farming, and cooking—the slow life in Hot Spring Town is becoming more flavorful. The variety and quantity of fish, crops, and dishes have significantly increased. Whether you're a fishing enthusiast, a farming player, or a culinary master, you'll find your place in Hot Spring Town. As night falls, the town's night market comes alive. Play mini-games to earn points, then try your luck in the new lottery system—you might just receive an unexpected surprise.
Freely switch between dual perspectives to experience two different lives
Switching between Kyoko and the Mayor is now fully unlocked without any restrictions. As Kyoko, you can enjoy the leisurely summer vacation, meet residents with unique personalities, and work together for the town. Switch to the Mayor to accept commissions at the notice board and plan the town's future. You can also travel from the town station to Kamogawa to work part-time, shop, stay overnight, and explore the local customs of different areas. Two perspectives, two lives, weaving together the complete picture of Hot Spring Town.
Comprehensive optimization of exploration experiences, freely traverse everycorner of the town
To make your journey easier, the demo adds a town map management feature, allowing players to quickly check various areas and important locations, and conveniently travel to unlocked spots.
