After a short break to play some of the other amazing games coming out this month, we'll be jumping on a winter holiday update! We don't want to over-promise so we plan on keeping it small, but look forward to a few new cozy items to help you get into the holiday spirit! ❄️

We're constantly working on QoL improvements and content, so please stay tuned. We always want to be sure things are working before we announce them. We plan to continue to support Spirit City throughout 2025, and we have lots of exciting things planned!

Hello Spiritographers!
Spooky season is upon us, and we're brewing up something special to celebrate!
Mark your calendars! 🗓️🎃Coming October 9th at 10am ET, we'll be releasing a delightfully Halloween-themed update.

Here's a little preview of what to expect:

• 200+ new Fall and Halloween themed items for your avatar and room.
  
• New Halloween playlist featuring songs by Odem Medo, presented by Homework Radio.
  
• A new Spirit to discover.
  
• New window backgrounds to immerse yourself in the fall season.
  

We hope you look forward to it!

Yet another hotfix for version 1.4, this time only focusing on player issues with their save file.

• Improved texture memory usage used by background assets (suspected to be causing a longer loading screen and potentially crashes on some machines)
  
• A new progression file backup save system (to prevent progression data loss)
  

Thank you for your understanding!

Some additional bug fixes following our big update 1.4, also including a tentative fix to an issue that's been around for a while.

TENTATIVE BUG FIX - Tentatively fixing a rare bug that can happen after power surges or crashes, resulting in players losing their Spiritographer level and Spirit credits, and preventing them from progressing further. If you have been affected by this rare issue, please reach out via our Discord to get assistance!

BUG - Fixed eyes being open too wide in certain activity animations
BUG - Antique Lamp on bed sidetable is now unlocked by default instead of being purchasable, as it's an item used in the default room setup
BUG - Fixed eye movement at bed gaming activity to no longer give the player side eye
BUG - Fixed an issue where the pencil sound effect would trigger for every new letter typed when renaming a to-do list tab, instead of once when text is committed
BUG - Fixed an issue where some checked and deleted to-do tasks would show back up when reopening the game
BUG - Fixed an issue where the Spirit Credits amount shown in avatar and room customization would not update when given Spirit Credits every minute

A couple days ago we released 1.4.0, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive! We're glad this resonates with what our players want. Some of you reported a couple issues that we could fix on the spot, so here's a little patch to fix most of these issues!

Known issue - Some tasks might check/uncheck themselves after selecting a new to-do list tab. This is happening when tasks from previous versions of the game (before 1.4) are still being used. If you're experiencing this issue, simply recreate new tasks instead, and this bug should be gone!

CONTENT - Since some people voiced that the bookshelf didn't match their new asthetic, we quickly added a new bookshelf category to the fireplace area!

Adjustment- Adjusted placement of certain fireplace sidetable items to be more centered on the table
Adjustment - Adjusted Window reading animation to no longer have a pillow as it could not change color
BUG - Fixed an issue where previewing items would not revert to the default or set item for certain room customization categories
BUG - Fixed Bulbee's eyes in alternate skins that were rendering wrong
BUG - Fixed minor texture error on Gaming Desks
BUG - Fixed minor physics glitch with the updo afro hairstyle
BUG - Fixed some new tracks name in the Refreshing Study Sessions playlist
BUG - Fixed some contrast issues with some window backgrounds
BUG - Removed the mirror near the wardrobe area as it would not show an accurate depiction of the room
BUG - Adjusted color of APE-Bit's hands in it's red skin to no longer have blue tint
BUG - Fixed Spirit positions in their discovery sequences when a crafting cart is equipped as the fireplace sidetable
