The release date has yet to be revealed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on Tadahiro Miura\u2019s manga, the PC game will be a port of the 2018 Japan-exclusive PS4 title \u201cYuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs: Steam Dungeon.\u201d As the name implies, the game is a mix of dungeon crawling and hot spring bathing, with emphasis on the steamy side. The cute anime girl characters can get their clothes torn in battle and the trailer mentions \u201csexy bathing scenes.\u201d The Steam version is set to feature English and Chinese language options, making it more accessible to international fans of the series.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3010\u3086\u3089\u304e\u8358\u306e\u5e7d\u5948\u3055\u3093 \u6e6f\u3051\u3080\u308a\u8ff7\u5bae\u3011\u30d7\u30ed\u30e2\u30fc\u30b7\u30e7\u30f3\u6620\u50cf\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_9K__6asfsU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the game, the male protagonist Kogarashi is sucked into a magic box containing a miniature garden. The girls from the Yuragi Inn set out to rescue him by battling their way through dungeons. The game is fully voiced by the cast of the anime and features an original story that progresses as you complete each dungeon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The player controls key characters from the series including Yuuna, Hibari and Yaya and must explore dungeons, collect items, and fight turn-based battles against demonic dolls. In a similar vein to Final Fantasy X-2, the girls can change in and out of a mixture of cute and revealing costumes to access different abilities. The dungeons hold many dangers, and the layout changes each time you enter them. If you are defeated by an enemy, you will be booted out of the dungeon and returned to Yuragi Inn, losing all your items.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23433\" style=\"width:1068px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001-.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001-.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--600x338.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231128-23423-001--747x420.jpeg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The game\u2019s strategy is to prepare at Yuragi Inn, explore the dungeons and then return to the inn to recharge. Here you can strengthen your character\u2019s weapons by synthesizing them. Players should also aim to collect special soap from the dungeons, so that they can dispel evil spirits while bathing in the hot springs. Based on your efforts, you may get to view various special scenes featuring the different characters. You can also receive new items and abilities depending on how satisfied the girls are with their baths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PC version will apparently have a large amount of extra downloadable content, including purchasable DLC and limited edition DLC from the PS4 version. The DLC from the PS4 version will include additional characters and dungeons, events, costumes and weapons. It is likely that the additional content from the PS4 release will be included in the PC version from the start. FuRyu also mentioned that the purchasable DLC will be \u201creasonably priced.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs: The Thrilling Steamy Maze Kiwami is set to be released worldwide on PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2436340\/Yuuna_and_the_Haunted_Hot_Springs_The_Thrilling_Steamy_Maze_Kiwami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>).
