  Hotfix v1.1.3

  This is a hotfix for a bug that caused a test save file to persist into the live version of the game for new players. I'm very sorry to anyone already affected by this, as I know it likely spoiled the early stages of the game for you, in particular by skipping the tutorial entirely. If you'd like to start a new save profile to experience the game as intended, you can do this by via the button in the lower right corner of the main menu.

  Patch v1.1.2

  Hey all, this is a small patch to add quality of life features that a few players requested, and to fix a minor bug, as detailed below:You can now pin/unpin specific cats. Pinning an unadopted cat will prevent them from being adopted manually by disabling the adoption button and LB-to-adopt on the controller. Pinned cats will also not be adopted by the auto-adopter.In addition to the existing option to enable/disable Vsync, there is now an optional FPS cap setting under settings > audio & graphics > cap fps. (Note that Vsync and FPS cap cannot be enabled simultaneously. I recommend keeping Vsync enabled unless you want to set the FPS cap below your monitor's refresh rate to limit GPU usage.)There is a new option under settings > gameplay > swap pet and select, which swaps the inputs for petting and selecting cats when enabled. This setting will swap the controls for both mouse and controller/steam deck. The controls display in the lower right corner will reflect this swap if visible.A bug that allowed incongruent cat names (e.g. a grey cat named orange) has been fixed. Existing incongruently named cats you have already seen will not be changed--sometimes there just really is a grey cat named orange.Best,Luke

  Pre-Launch Demo Update!

  Demo version 1.1.0 is now available!This version of the demo matches up with the full version to be released on July 24, 2026, and all progress will be carried over automatically once the full game releases.Compatibility with the Previous Demo VersionFor those who have played the original demo (v.1.0.5 or earlier - released in November 2025), your save file will automatically be imported into the new version of the demo, and you will be notified of this the first time you open the new demo. If you jump straight into the full version after it releases without opening the updated demo, your save will instead be imported the first time you open the full game.You may notice some changes to which items and upgrades are available due to balancing adjustments.If you would like to continue playing your original save file in the previous version of the demo, you can switch to the branch "original_demo_v1_0_5" to pick up exactly where you left off (note: playing on this branch will not affect your save on the default branch, and vice versa).Hope you enjoy!Luke
