In the first Official Update you can expect the following:

• More Objectives to direct you so you have specific goals to complete

• Outline items to be easily distinguishable in the darkness

• Beer mechanics! Cause who doesn't like beer (Careful as its permanent!)

• Extra Puzzle: Padlock with numbers

• More Audio diversity

• Minor Bug Fixes

Before entering the game I advice to try out your microphone in the Main Menu > Options > Test Mic.

You can also select your microphone from the button above

If you have any problems then you might have to make the microphone you want, the default microphone in your computer.

Dear store owners!

We've been quiet for a while — we were hard at work on the new product delivery system and many other improvements. Now we're ready to present update 1.1.0! The main feature is the product delivery system, which will help you earn additional income and rating during downtime between serving customers. Additionally, we've added several improvements that will make the gameplay even more comfortable and realistic.

Oh, and we almost forgot — you can now take your store with you anywhere! The game is officially Steam Deck verified, having passed all compatibility tests successfully.

• Added product delivery system — accept orders through the computer and deliver them yourself
  
  
• You can now change prices directly from price tags
  
  
• New sounds and customer phrases for various situations
  
• Shelves now highlight in yellow when placing items or boxes would replace the price tag or label
  
  

• Enhanced and improved tutorial for better understanding of game mechanics
  
• Improved object placement system near walls
  
• Stock handlers now properly respond to price tag removal during restocking

• Fixed achievement unlocking for 100 services and 100 correct ID checks
  
• Fixed issues with warehouse shelf interaction after stock handlers place boxes

Thank you for your support and patience! This update was made possible thanks to your feedback and suggestions. Keep sharing your thoughts — we carefully read every message, even if we don't always respond!

The 5th patch is here! Sorry for the delay - work was really hectic this week.

We're a week away from the 1-monthiversary, and only 13 reviews away from the magic number of 50 required for "Very Positive". Please continue to help spread the game around to other puzzle enthusiasts.

Puzzle changes

• Added hints for remaining levels. I am done! Feedback for improvements is still welcome, of course.
  
• Moved the yellow goal location on Lemniscate. The old version was straight-forward from the starting position, but it was very easy for players to accidentally fall into an impossible state without realizing it. This is one of the biggest sins in puzzle design, and it should not occur unless the "realizing it" step is part of the main idea of the puzzle. In this case it wasn't.
  
• Added 2 fog tiles to Pivots. This increases the uniqueness of the puzzle, making it more deducible.

Misc

• (Post-Inception) Unused exit spirals now animate by being pulled to the center instead of flashing.
  
• Increased the size of grid lines because the lowest nonzero setting was unusable with FXAA, and barely usable with TAA/TSR.
  
• Changed the look of the grid lines to be more "natural". You can still increase "Grid darkness" if you like the artificial look. I like the lowest nonzero thickness with darkness turned all the way down. I'm considering making this the default in a future patch. Thoughts?
  
• Hint menu in puzzle editor now has a scrollbar so there is no longer a soft limit to the number of hints that can be added to a puzzle.
  
• Don't show the journal entry tag icons in the "Required for current level" menu for undiscovered journal entries.
  
• Added mention of font under assets in credits.

Bugfixes

• Prevent animation of exit spirals when first loading a puzzle in the puzzle editor.

🔹 Added the ability to stop time! Many players requested this feature. Now, when there is a lot going on, you can stop time at any moment, new customers will not come, and you can calmly do whatever you want (remember that fish will not need food, they will not die, but they will also not reproduce or grow).

🔹 The long-awaited mechanic of placing plants in other decorations has been added. Yes, now you can set, for example, a stone as static and stick a plant on top of it. All plants now have the option of attaching them to other items that are set as static/placed in the substrate/placed in the aquarium background. Even more possibilities for your creativity!

🔹 When shopping in the store, you can add items to your favourites, which will make them easier to find later. There is also a new tab in the store that displays all your favourite items.

🔹 A new panel has been added to the management tablet, with a bank section where you can take out a loan that you will repay in instalments. This can make it easier to get started, but you always have to be careful with banks!



🔹 Sometimes, the restocker would put empty boxes in the restock room, taking up space. After loading the game, this will be fixed automatically, and empty boxes will always end up in the bin.

🔹 Fixed an important bug that blocked progress when the player threw away the bucket while pouring water into the aquarium/using the sink. This is no longer possible. Thank you for your reports!

🔹 Fixed so that customers and employees will no longer move free-standing decorations when walking (meaning they will no longer be pushed into cabinets from where they could not be removed!).

🔹 The restocker carrying boxes will no longer push the player while walking.

🔹 Many restocker fixes.

🔹 We have increased the chances that coral will fragment at the end of the day in the fragmentation aquarium.

🔹 Minor UI fixes.
