NoSlack Pets: Lo-Fi Paws - lynkpingame

NoSlack Pets: Lo-Fi Paws — Now Live on Steam!

We’re live! NoSlack Pets: Lo-Fi Paws launched at Nov 3, 18:00 PST (Nov 4, 02:00 UTC).

It’s a desktop-friendly cat companion that won’t get in your way—but will genuinely help you reach your goals.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3714370/Lofi/

Launch & Discount

Launch discount: -15%, ends Nov 15, 18:00 PST (Nov 16, 02:00 UTC).
Pricing: final price is shown on your Steam store page (regional pricing applies).

What’s in the Full Release

Decor & collection: unlock 600+ decorations (cat, cat-house, and cat desk) and 350+ headgears.
Drops & crafting: Epic-tier drops enabled, with higher-tier crafting.
Music & white noise: 51 lofi/classical/light tracks + 36 curated white-noise sounds.
Core features: custom Pomodoro settings and a more complete wallpaper mode.
Achievements & leaderboards: 77 in-game achievements plus leaderboards for white noise, crafting, and the gallery.

Demo Plan

The Demo’s Halloween update is live.
The Demo will be fully retired on Nov 15, 18:00 PST (Nov 16, 02:00 UTC)—aligned with the discount end.
Before retirement, claim limited items via Meow Codes: \[Demo], \[noslackpet], \[strawberrycat].

Data Inheritance

✅ Inheritable: items from Meow Codes (e.g., strawberrycat). If they don’t auto-grant on first launch, re-enter the code in Meow Code or refresh after Steam sync.
🔁 Account-level data carries over: coins balance, non-headgear purchases made with coins, room décor, in-game achievement progress, and settings.
❌ Not inheritable: Playtest/Demo headgear (drops & crafted). Steam Inventory is AppID-isolated; cross-app transfers aren’t supported and we aim to keep progression fair.

Stability & Support

We’ll run rolling hotfixes for the first 48 hours, prioritizing stability (crashes, resolution, multi-monitor).
Thank you for your support—bring Miino home and enjoy calm focus, cozy breaks, and a gentler desk.

After having a baby, continuing to submit quests will grant some monetary rewards and increase the collection level of this item. Previously, it only increased the collection level without providing money.
When baking bread and brewing alcohol, a progress indicator will display how much time is left for the current product to be completed.
Adjusted some mechanics of the chicken coop. Upgrading farming tools will now affect the egg-laying speed of the chicken coop. With four hens, the highest-level farming tools can increase egg production efficiency by 200%. The quality and rarity of hens and roosters still do not affect this metric (Selecting chickens in the coop is a bit troublesome, let's simplify it...).
Some other minor bugs.

Fair Play Announcement (October 24th, 2025 – October 30th, 2025)

Once Human - Once Human

Dear Metas,

From October 24th to October 30th, Once Human banned a total of 356 Players. This includes 142 players penalized for cheating, 34 accounts suspended for alt-account exploitation and linked violations, 11 players penalized for malicious interference.

Because the AI model is still being updated, backend monitoring data shows there is still a slight chance of false bans being triggered. If you have any questions or concerns about a penalty, please submit an appeal through the in-game appeal screen. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We've continued to receive reports from Metas about cheating behavior. This week's most frequent offenses include flying, abnormal damage values and range, teleporting. We've promptly verified and taken action on these cases.

Additionally, we're working on implementing a series of anti-cheat measures, targeting both cheaters and studio-run alt accounts. These measures are being rolled out in phases and will be completed in the near future. We appreciate your patience and support. If you come across any violations in-game, please report them through the official reporting channel. We will review and address unfair behavior as quickly as possible. Let's work together to maintain a fair and healthy game environment and combat malicious actions. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Below is a list of players recently penalized for severe violations. The accounts involved have been reviewed and confirmed to be in violation. For any questions, please contact in-game customer support.

1. Language violations

From October 24th to October 30th, 2025, a total of 203 players received bans of varying durations for language violations:

30 days — 6 players

7 days — 21 players

1 day — 145 players

2 hours — 31 players

(Due to space limitations, we do not provide the list of players banned for speech violations.)

We've been paying close attention to feedback regarding the chat restriction system and have launched a focused optimization effort. Improvements include upgraded smart filtering to reduce false positives and better manual review processes for more accurate judgment. We'll continue refining this system to make communication smoother.

This world is brought to life by your interactions—whether you're sharing highlights or fighting alongside friends, every sincere exchange brings warmth to the game. We hope everyone uses kind words to build meaningful memories and protect the beauty of the world of Nalcott together.

2. Use of cheats or hacks

We will identify the characteristics of newly discovered cheats and use them for retroactive investigations. After banning an account, we will check if it has any associated "alt" accounts and ban those as well.

The following is the list of players penalized for using cheats or hacks from October 24th to October 30th, 2025:
