SUMMER UPDATE 2026 Additions and Changes:

Version: 1.2.0

(For multiplayer to work correctly, you must be on the latest version!)

Habit Tracker

The Journal was expanded with the highly requested Habit Tracker!

Enter new habits, choose when you want to do them, and simply check them off when done! This will also be automatically tracked in the Journal.

New Location

We've added a new summery location: the beach! It has space for you and 3 of your friends, and it comes with soothing wave sounds and environmental animations.

Item Unlocks

We’ve added 20 new Summer-themed items that are claimable in the gifts tab. (There are also curtains and kitchen tiles now!)

Multiplayer

You can now host a multiplayer session by sharing a room code with others. Being friends on Steam is no longer required.

Save Slots

Each customizable location now has up to five save slots, so you can keep variations of your homes without having to completely redecorate every time!

Daytime Changes

The background colors will now match more closely to your real-life day-to-night cycle. Additionally, we’ve added a colorful slider to the customization menu where you can set a preferred fixed time of the day.

Quality of Life Changes

Bugfixes

The lanterns from the Spring Update items can now be turned on and off again.

As always, thank you so much for all your feedback and support. We’re always happy to hear your feedback and suggestions! If you'd like to chat with us or share your thoughts directly, feel free to join our Discord server as well!

Cheers, Simone & Josef
