We are back with our monthly Indie Showcase, where we pick one of the many gems produced by independent game developers and make sure it gets some well-deserved time in the sun. For December, we are taking a closer look at the cosy sim… Spirittea!
What is Spirittea?
If you ever watched Spirited Away and thought “This needs to be a game,” then Spirittea by Cheesemaster Games and No More Robots is for you! This life sim is a beautiful blend of pixel graphics and cosy gameplay that is sure to warm you up these cold December nights.
You play as a human, who has sipped the spirittea and can now see spirits – everywhere! The town is simply crawling with unsettled spirits, who are lost because the people no longer leave them offerings or even think about them anymore. The only thing for it is to open a bathhouse!
With the help of your guide, Wonyan, you’ll get the spirits happy and things under control again. Remember their problems and help get them solved, which may involve anything from making spicy noodles to finding treasure. Befriend the locals and take part in fun hobbies, like bug catching and karaoke. Most importantly, manage your bathhouse so your spirit customers have the best experience and come back for more.

| Operating System | Windows 7 | Windows 10 |
| Processor | 2GHz | 2GHz |

Best PCs to Play Spirittea
Chances are, your gaming PC more than qualifies for the Spirittea specifications. However, if you’re on the look-out for an upgrade that suits your casual gaming needs, we have plenty of gaming PCs and laptops available at Overclockers UK. Here are just three of our faves.
Refract Gaming Crimson Pre-Built PC
The Refract Gaming Crimson was literally crafted for casual and cosy gaming. Featuring cherry-picked components, it is the perfect companion for games like Spirittea. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G APU has built in AMD Radeon 780M graphics, negating the need for a dedicated GPU. Plus, with 16GB DDR45 RAM and over 1TB storage, the Refract Crimson is well suited for handling your work in the day and gaming at night.
As one of our Refract Gaming PCs, the Crimson is pre-built, fully tested, and ready to ship with next day delivery (stock allowing). What’s more, it is covered by our comprehensive three years parts and labour warranty. Just the peace of mind you need when relaxing to Spirittea.
Lenovo LOQ Gaming Laptop
Perhaps you need to manage your bathhouse on the go. With the Lenovo LOQ Gaming Laptop, you can experience all your cosy faves on the 15.6” FHD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Plus, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 at the helm, you know they’ll render in beautiful detail and smooth frame rates. What’s more, the Intel Core i5-13500H CPU is equipped with the innovative hybrid core architecture and Intel Thread Director, meaning the best core will always be assigned to the task at hand! Now if only you could get your bathhouse running this efficiently!
Keeping the Lenovo LOQ cool is a whisper-quiet thermal solution, so the noise disturbances are to a minimum whilst you game. This system features four heat pipes, dual 85mm fans, and an improved design that means there is up to 28.6% more air intake and 24% larger vents. As a result, it can handle up to 135W TDP. Game on in peace and really lose yourself in Spirittea’s chill soundtrack!
OcUK Gaming Oxygen Configurable PC
If you need a little more oomph from your gaming PC, the OcUK Gaming Oxygen has got your back. This AMD build takes advantage of all their gaming innovations, to facilitate immersive gaming on Spirittea and other magical life sims. With the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F CPU, you can game with all that Zen 4 architecture has to offer, streamlining your work, gaming, and streaming. Plus, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU will effortlessly bring Spirittea to life with smooth frame rates.
If you’re only half sold on the spec, fear not! The OcUK Gaming Oxygen is one of our configurable gaming PCs, meaning you can adjust the hardware from a pre-selected list. Customise the PC case, memory, graphics card, operating system, and choose up to three high-speed SSDs. Please note that any changes will affect the price.
