## What is Totonoi?

A quiet showdown in the sauna room.
Endure the heat, build your aura, and be the first to head for the cold plunge. Run out of stamina and you overheat — and lose.

"Totonou" (toh-toh-noh) is the Japanese word for the calm, clear, blissful feeling after sauna, cold plunge and rest. In this game, you win by reaching totonoi, not by enduring the heat the longest.

■ Simple controls, deep tactics
- Tap to take a deep breath. Time it right to recover stamina
- Swipe up or down to change benches. The top bench is hotter, but builds aura faster
- When a heat wave comes: guard with your towel, or take it with open arms?
- Pour löyly on the stove. The whole room heats up, and whoever has stamina to spare comes out ahead
- Swipe right to fan your rival and leave them out of breath
- The lower your stamina, the faster your aura builds. How close to the edge will you go?

■ 5 venues, 25 rivals
Neighborhood Bathhouse Sauna, Hokkaido Snowfield Sauna, Nagoya Heat Wave Sauna, Tokyo Mist Sauna and Shizuoka Sauna Sanctuary.
Dive into snow, lose track of your rival in the mist — every venue plays differently. Beat each venue's master to move on.

■ Train and reach totonoi
Sauna → cold plunge → open-air rest, up to 3 rounds.
Hold still in the cold plunge to form a "thermal veil", then rest outside without touching anything. Reach totonoi in all 3 rounds for a Deep Totonoi bonus.
Grow your Lung power, Heat tolerance, Reflexes and Aura power, and challenge stronger rivals.

■ An evolving aura
Starting from steam and a ring of light, your aura evolves into flames, stars, and finally water and Mt. Fuji — 23 stages in all.
Every rival has their own aura, matched to their strength.

■ For you if...
- You love saunas and know the feeling of totonoi
- You want a game you can play in short breaks (about 30 seconds a battle)
- You want to play at your own pace, with no ads and no in-app purchases
