Hello Travelers! Next Patch is here! Despite the short break since the last patch, we managed to fix quite a lot, and this list is longer than before.


This time, we’ve significantly improved the game’s performance and tracked down many bugs. Our main focus, however, was demolishing, making sure this feature is both useful and works smoothly.

We’ve also added community gifts we promised you, which you can find in the Laundry Room.
More details will be shared tomorrow on our socials, along with info about a special bundle celebrating the launch of a phenomenal game from our new friends from Treehouse Games!Full list of fixed and known issues below, but first, look how happy Baui is in a new Marietta's Hat! :)
