Hey, fam!

We've got some super exciting news to share with you all!

Remember that little gem we dropped during the Steam Summer Festival? Artis Impact：Meiji Spa! 

At first, we just wanted to give you all a cozy little experience to kick off the summer break, like a warm bath, a relaxation, and maybe some mochi snacks along the way...

But WOW, you guys went ABOVE and BEYOND!!

The comments, the DMs, the love we received—honestly, we're soooo grateful! Some of you even said, “If you don't add this edition to the full game, I won’t forgive you!” (Though... we’re kinda tearing up here, really. TwT)

So guess what?! After some serious soul-searching with Mas, the developer, we’re officially announcing that:  Artis Impact：Meiji Spa is going to be part of the full version of Artis Impact! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who left comments, and sent us all those sweet compliments during the Festival! Seriously, your energy and support helped us make this decision.

Of course, we know some of you are curious about the playtime, endings, and gameplay—don’t worry, we've been keeping an eye to make sure everything gets polished and wrapped up properly. All those passionate comments in the <FAQ Collection> were seen by Mas! We're fixing what needs fixing, adding what needs adding, and not cutting any corners. We’re working hard to create a game you'll really love.

The release day is coming up, and we’re SUPER excited and, maybe... a little nervous!

Once again, thank you to everyone who’s been waiting and supporting us! We hope Artis Impact will leave a warm, soft, and happy little spot in your heart, just like the hot spring bath!💕

See you on August 7th! Let’s goooo!
