Just another hotfix for our 1.7 update, this time addressing an issue where some people could not discover Dustbunny for the first time in their Spiritdex, revealing other spirit information instead.

If you've been affected by this and cannot seem to discover Dustbunny for the first time, please reach out and we can help :)

Have a great week!

📢Hello Spiritographers!

We’re happy to share that our first update of the year is officially live! 🔴

We wanted to be sure to highlight the Lunar New Year with some content that we think everybody across the world will love. We're also looking at improving the general look and feel of the app by adding some polish to the interface that we hope you'll appreciate!

See below for the full patch notes and more exciting news below! ✨

[h3]NEW CONTENT:[/h3]

• Added a few new room decor items to celebrate the Lunar New Year. You will find hanging lanterns, a snake plushie, some tasty steamed dumplings and a new wallpaper.
  
• Added a few new clothing items for Lunar New Year, including two new styles of tops, one style of pants and shoes, as well as new skirt colors.
  
• Added three new hairstyles
  

[h3]ADJUSTMENTS:[/h3]

• Updated the style for tooltips when elements are hovered in the game interface.
  
• Updated the style of the default font.
  
• New animations are available across the interface when opening and closing some menus.
  
• The Winter Wonderland playlist has been moved down in the list so that it's not the default playlist. Sorry folks, holidays are now officially over!

[h2]End of Year Survey[/h2]
We received over 12000 responses to our end of year survey! Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill it out, there is tons of valuable feedback to go through! This will help us plan our roadmap for 2025, and we hope to be able to share more details soon.

We can share the results of perhaps the most important question, which Spirit is your favorite?


The full rankings are available in our Discord channel if you're curious!

[h2]What's next?[/h2]
We're hard at work on our first major DLC, the Cozy Kitchen Expansion Pack
Watch the teaser trailer below if you haven't already!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Remember this: Our DLCs will never include new productivity feature or QOL updates, those would always be added as free updates. Instead, we want our DLCs to be adding to the existing fantasy of Spirit City with new locations, new spirits, and more to discover!

Please consider Wishlisting!

Stay tuned as we will be revealing more info about this expansion pack soon as well as future updates.

[h2]Mac Support[/h2]
We've heard all the requests for native Mac support! We have been working on getting the game running on Mac but have had a few delays. Things are looking good now though! We still aren't ready to announce a specific date, but it's coming!

As always, thank you for your incredible support—it truly means the world to us. We are looking forward to bringing more features, content, and QoL to Spirit City: Lofi Sessions in 2025!
