The team at Mushroomallow Studio—whom you might remember from their upcoming VN Death & Faeology—has just unveiled a brand-new project, and we are howling with excitement! Their latest title, Ookami Okami, just launched its Steam page and is already stirring up a buzz among otome and indie visual novel fans alike.

A Spirit Realm Romance

Ookami Okami is a slow-burn romance isekai visual novel that sweeps players away to a traditional Japanese inn—only, this one’s tucked deep within the Spirit Realm.

You play as Akine, a once-elderly innkeeper who gets a second chance at life in a young, radiant youkai body. Your goal? Restore a crumbling hot spring inn to its former glory and, if you’re brave enough, unravel the mystery of its enigmatic owner.

Yes, we’re talking about Shimon, a divine White Tiger God (Byakko) with a brooding soul and a deeply buried heart. Akine’s razor-sharp wit and unwavering charm might just be the key to cracking through his icy resolve.

Interactive Features to Fall in Love With

Beyond its stunning visual style and heartfelt storytelling, Ookami Okami also brings in point-and-click gameplay—an extra treat for players who love a bit of hands-on immersion. Here’s a quick look at what you can expect:

Restore the inn: Clean rooms, summon lost staff, and clear out pesky spirits
Collect past relics to piece together hidden lore
Make meaningful choices that lead to multiple endings
original art and 8 beautiful CGs
5+ hours of story-rich content inspired by Japanese folklore

Meet the Main Cast

Akine – Our protagonist

Bold, clever, and fiercely determined, Akine doesn’t take no for an answer—especially not from emotionally distant tiger gods.

Shimon – The only love interest

This divine being swore to keep his mask on—literally and emotionally—but something about Akine might just melt the frost around his heart.

Oh, and fans of Mushroomallow’s earlier title Kohana will be delighted to spot some familiar faces checking in as inn guests!

Otome Jam 2025 Entry

Expected to be part of Otome Jam 2025, Ookami Okami is shaping up to be a lovingly crafted gem. With a word count of around 45,000 words, it’s the perfect blend of cozy, mysterious, and emotionally resonant.

Whether you’re into Japanese folklore, found family vibes, or simply craving a swoon-worthy supernatural romance, this VN deserves a spot on your radar.
