Misty Onsen

The Game is Really Good. The Negative writers HERE MY MESSAGE FOR YOU : under is in chinese Version "32 Yuan? Not worth it! The controls suck and the compass points nowhere!" Response: Come on. If you’re in a cursed Japanese mountain hot spring, the compass is the least of your problems. If you’re looking for accurate navigation — play Google Maps Simulator 2025, not Misty Onsen. This game isn’t about direction. It’s about survival, my friend. "I died on a mountain because I took the wrong path!" Response: That’s called realism! The game literally says: “Never leave the path.” And you’re like: “Hehe, what happens if I do?” Spoiler: You insulted the mountain. The mountain insulted you back. Deserved. "Someone called my name – I turned around – dead!" Response: It literally says in the game’s rules: “If you hear your name, don’t answer!” And what did you do? “Oh cool, someone wants to talk!” No, that’s not small talk — that’s a bear doing voice acting practice. That’s Method Acting: Survival Edition. "Too short, barely any puzzles, only 1 hour long!" Response: One hour of pure panic, Japanese whispering, and existential dread. What do you want — ten hours of tha…

Misty Onsen, developed and published by 神 SHEN, is a psychological horror experience that invites players into an isolated mountain setting where the beauty of nature conceals something deeply unsettling. The premise is deceptively simple: you are a new caretaker assigned to a remote hot spring resort, far from civilization, tasked with performing routine inspections and maintenance. Yet, as soon as you arrive, it becomes evident that this is no ordinary job. The previous caretaker has vanished without a trace, and the rules left behind to guide you—seemingly mundane at first—hint at a lurking danger that defies logic. The eerie list of instructions, such as not deviating from the designated path, never turning back when you hear a voice calling your name, and leaving immediately if you smell something strange, sets the tone for the rest of the game. What begins as a procedural assignment gradually transforms into a psychological ordeal in which every sound, shadow, and flicker of light could spell your doom. The world of Misty Onsen is defined by its atmosphere rather than its mechanics. There are no weapons to wield or enemies to fight in the traditional sense; survival depends …

I hate to give this a thumbs down because I can appreciate a solo dev's work and effort into creating a game, yet this was disappointing. The concept is neat but, oddly, I had a better experience with the demo rather than the game itself. Some issues I found were that certain things from the demo were missing from the game like the strange voices calling out to you, the bear, encounters with the crying woman and, the strangest one yet, nighttime never came. It was overcast throughout. I was looking forward to getting lost in the dark, except it never happened, I didn't even use the flashlight the game gives you and that really took the spook factor out of the experience. I do not think this is worth $6, I got through the game in a little over 30mins. However, I do recommend playing the demo.

What a hidden gem. It’s not exactly like PT or Exit 8, but it gives that same uneasy feeling — the sense that something’s slightly off even when nothing happens. The setting in the remote Japanese mountains feels incredibly real; the quiet, the lights, and the narrow paths make you feel completely alone. Every now and then, the roads seem to repeat in strange ways, just enough to make you question if you took a wrong turn. That subtle “looping” feeling really messes with your head. There aren’t any loud jumpscares, just this constant tension that builds the longer you stay. You start doubting your own sense of direction, which is exactly what makes it so effective. It’s a small game, but everything feels intentional and carefully made. Definitely worth playing if you enjoy slow, psychological horror that sticks with you after you close the game.

i can't open this game after update T_T

A disappointing, repetitive experience, and you can't rebind keys for actions even though it looks like you should be able to. I couldn't even run the game at "4K" at "120 FPS" using an "RTX 5080" as it's poorly optimized. At "4K", I had to drop the "FPS" down to 60. It felt like walking through a bad haunted house at a local fair that isn't scary. The only thing that did surprise me was that I didn't fall through the map. If you must play it, get it on sale, but I'd recommend playing something else.
