Totonoe! -Sauna Dodge Game-

Dodge the bathhouse regulars, steam yourself just right, and reach "totonoi" - Japan's sauna bliss. 25 stages, 23-character dex, free to play.

Every time you visit a sauna, somehow, they are there.

The Wandering Ojisan, who walks with no destination. The Rowdy Students, whose volume control broke after exams. The Unmoving Regular, who entered at opening time and is now counted as facility equipment. And the Chatty Ojisan, who believes three seconds of silence is fatal.

"Totonoe!" is a casual dodge-action game where you avoid all of them, steam yourself to perfection, and chase "totonoi" - the blissful, floaty afterglow that Japanese sauna lovers are obsessed with.

• HOW TO PLAY Just swipe. Walk around the sauna room, avoid the regulars, take a seat, and build your steam gauge into the sweet zone. Get out too early and you lose points. Overdo it and you faint. That knife-edge timing is the whole game.

• 25 STAGES ACROSS 5 BATHHOUSES From a beginner-friendly Super Sento to an Onsen Ryokan with wobbly drunks, a windy Tent Sauna Camp, and finally Finland itself - each facility has 5 levels. Higher levels mean more people, fewer seats, and less time. Layouts, colors, and even the clutter on the floor change as you climb.

• COLLECT ALL 23 CHARACTERS A nature-documentary-style character dex records every regular you encounter, described with the seriousness of a wildlife guide. Rare finds include a bathing Capybara and the Legendary Sauna Master, said to absorb your fatigue with a single touch.

• ITEMS ON THE FLOOR Oropo (the legendary sauna drink) restores your gauge. Aquri gives you a speed boost. Grab them - if you can cross the crowd safely.

• FREE TO PLAY No account needed. Play a full set in about two minutes - perfect for your commute, or for cooling down after a real sauna.

Now then - have a good sauna.
