The new "Decoration" Update is now available for everyone!
Once again, Miju is back with a free update, a small end of the year gift from us to our wonderful community!
This update contains 40 new decoration elements, effigies and posters to make your base look cool and the long awaited interior stairs.
One of our goal is to satisfy as much as possible people who trusted us by purchasing our games, so we decided to improve our Humble DLC once again to address your feedbacks. Adding new endings and lore, two new biomes and a new creature.
You'll find all those new furnitures inside the reworked procedural wrecks that we improved to be more fun and easy to explore.
On top of all that, we added a lot of Quality of Life elements, improved performances, tried to reduce memory leaks and potential crashes.

On Humble, you do not need to start a new run to experience the new endings, just explore and wait for new incoming messages.
Your save files will transfer seamlessly to the update. But if you want to try a fresh adventure, feel free to create a new game to fully experience this update!
And remember that you must use the same version to play with your friends.
We really hope you'll like it!
