Log Away News

[p]Hey everyone, the Wellness Update is out now on Steam![/p][p]This one is all about two things we care deeply about: making Log Away run more smoothly for more players, and giving you more cozy, meaningful ways to shape your retreat.[/p][p][/p][h3]10 new, much-requested items[/h3][p]We’re adding 10 items that many of you have been asking for, including a sauna, sink, icebox, two bathtubs, an outhouse, two showers, and more. Whether you’re building a simple wash corner or a full spa-like cabin moment, you’ll have a lot more to play with.[/p][p][/p][h3]Autosaving every 15 seconds[/h3][p]Log Away has always saved automatically when you return to the main menu. So, when in a retreat, whenever you hit ESC on your keyboard or you click on the logo in the top-right corner of your screen, the game autosaves. From this update onward, in addition to the aforementioned, the game autosaves your retreats every 15 seconds while you play. This game aims to help you relax and enjoy your cabins, without pressure, and the newest autosaving system helps with that.[/p][p][/p][h3]Performance & stability[/h3][p]We’ve made optimization improvements, with extra attention to lower-end configurations, and we’ve also tackled a batch of reported bugs, along with other smaller technical and visual issues. In short: fewer bumps, more breathing room, greater experience.[/p][p][/p][h3]Mirror Cove: your beach, your rules[/h3][p]Mirror Cove now lets you walk to the nearby beach - and yes, you can place objects there too. Set down a parasol, deck chair, icebox, and build that “private beach” fantasy where the only schedule is waves and sunlight.[/p][p][/p][h3]Christmas DLC addition[/h3][p]One more cozy detail: the Christmas DLC now includes a Christmas-themed sink. For now, this is the only new item in the DLC, but more surprises are on the way![/p][p][/p][h3]More coming soon[/h3][p]As always, thank you for the feedback and the care you put into this little world. We’re committed to continuing to polish, improve, and add more items - so your retreat can keep growing with you.[/p][p]The next update will add more color variations to almost all items in the game: gentle pink, olive green, gentle blue, black, and ivory. [/p][p]At the same time, work is well underway to make Log Away fully compatible, verified by Steam, with Steam Deck.[/p][p][/p]

[p]Log Away was always meant to be something you can slip into for a quiet break, a small escape to your cabin, your keepsakes, and your calmer self. That’s why we’re now focusing on making the game feel right at home on Steam Deck![/p][h3]Steam Deck compatibility[/h3][p]We’ve started dedicated work on Steam Deck compatibility, aiming for an experience that feels natural on a handheld: readable text at 1280×800, smooth performance, and a UI that’s comfortable to navigate from the sofa, bed, or train seat. Our goal is to have a Deck-ready version soon, and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready.[/p][p][/p][h3]Controller support[/h3][p]As part of this work, we’re also adding full controller support. Even if you don’t own a Deck, this means playing Log Away with your favorite controller (Xbox, PlayStation, etc.) will now be possible: from navigating menus to placing items and exploring your retreats.[/p][p][/p][h3]Optimization[/h3][p]Alongside all this, we’re continuing to optimize and polish the game: smoother performance, small quality-of-life touches, and tiny visual and UI tweaks across things like building, furnishing and decorating. None of these changes alter the heart of the experience, they’re meant to make your time in Log Away feel a little more comfortable, a little more effortless.[/p][p][/p][h3]New furnishing and decorating items[/h3][p]Log Away already features over 700 items, with almost 250 of them being interest-based, meaning they unlock only after reaching the Cozy Heart level 100. We're listening to the invaluable feedback you're giving us, and so we've decided to add more furnishing and decorating items to the general categories to give you more options from the start! Just to name a few: bathtubs, showers, saunas, sinks, skincare trays, floor lamps, and more. We will be adding them in batches with updates, and you can expect the first one to drop at the end of this week.[/p][p][/p][h3]Follow[/h3][p]Thank you for playing and for taking the time to slow down with us. We’ll share more details once Steam Deck and controller support are ready to go, so make sure to follow the game to stay updated![/p][p]Until then, we hope your retreats continue to feel cozy, calm, and quietly yours.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p]Hi everyone,[/p][p]just wanted to let you know that we've fixed an issue on the Steam admin side that stopped the Christmas DLC from unlocking properly for early buyers. [/p][p]The good news:[/p]

2. [p]Start Steam again.[/p]
3. [p]Let Log Away update automatically.[/p]
4. [p]Launch the game – the Christmas content should now be available.[/p]

[p]For those that bought after the first hour or two since release, the DLC will install automatically correctly - no need to do anything. Just enter the game and hover over the Christmas stamp at the bottom, it will say: You own the Christmas DLC.[/p][p]Some players reported the issue after launch, which prompted us to look into the issue right away. We’re really sorry for the confusion and for anyone who spent time trying to figure this out. [/p][p]Thank you for your patience and for supporting the launch! We hope you enjoy relaxing in the retreats you built, with Christmas-themed decorations and soundtrack now that everything works as intended.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
