Hey everyone, the Wellness Update is out now on Steam!
This one is all about two things we care deeply about: making Log Away run more smoothly for more players, and giving you more cozy, meaningful ways to shape your retreat.
We’re adding 10 items that many of you have been asking for, including a sauna, sink, icebox, two bathtubs, an outhouse, two showers, and more. Whether you’re building a simple wash corner or a full spa-like cabin moment, you’ll have a lot more to play with.
Log Away has always saved automatically when you return to the main menu. So, when in a retreat, whenever you hit ESC on your keyboard or you click on the logo in the top-right corner of your screen, the game autosaves. From this update onward, in addition to the aforementioned, the game autosaves your retreats every 15 seconds while you play. This game aims to help you relax and enjoy your cabins, without pressure, and the newest autosaving system helps with that.
We’ve made optimization improvements, with extra attention to lower-end configurations, and we’ve also tackled a batch of reported bugs, along with other smaller technical and visual issues. In short: fewer bumps, more breathing room, greater experience.
Mirror Cove now lets you walk to the nearby beach - and yes, you can place objects there too. Set down a parasol, deck chair, icebox, and build that “private beach” fantasy where the only schedule is waves and sunlight.
One more cozy detail: the Christmas DLC now includes a Christmas-themed sink. For now, this is the only new item in the DLC, but more surprises are on the way!
As always, thank you for the feedback and the care you put into this little world. We’re committed to continuing to polish, improve, and add more items - so your retreat can keep growing with you.
The next update will add more color variations to almost all items in the game: gentle pink, olive green, gentle blue, black, and ivory.
At the same time, work is well underway to make Log Away fully compatible, verified by Steam, with Steam Deck.
