Chances are, you're going to be spending plenty of time in your cosy café when playing Critter Café, but there's an entire world to explore just beyond its doors! We don't want to spoil too much of what awaits you on Gold Leaf Isle, but today we're going to give you a glimpse of the places you'll discover come launch day on November 26, for Steam and Nintendo Switch.
The first area you'll travel to is Honeycrisp Grove, a lush green area full of cozy delights. Take a stroll through the beehives in the apiary, check out the apple trees in the picnic area, or get your steps in running around the fountain. If you get lost, there are signposts all around to direct you, or you can always check your map and see where you need to head next.
Honeycrisp Grove is also hiding a few secrets for those willing to explore a bit further! Rumour has it that new pieces of furniture for your café and habitat – as well as new clothing items for character customisation – can be found on cards scattered around the world. Make sure to find them all!
Potions are your key to uncovering the mysterious, puzzle-filled portals that Critters are trapped within. Once you've earned some potions at the café, you'll need to head to the wider world to find the portals. We think we saw a portal up by the fairy ring in Honeycrisp Grove... maybe you should check it out when you get a chance?
That's just one area of Gold Leaf Isle, but there's so much more to see in Critter Café once the game launches on November 26 for Steam and Nintendo Switch (£15.99/$19.99).
