BERLIN, December 12, 2024 – The animals in Living Room are feeling the holiday spirit as Thoughtfish GmbH rolls out a free Winter Update today. This feature-packed update enhances the cozy Meta Quest mixed reality game with exciting new features, festive decorations, and much-requested mechanics. Players can now deepen their bond with their animal companions while decking their digital halls for the holidays.
NEW FEATURES & HOLIDAY FUN:
- Happiness System for Pets: Pets now provide feedback on their happiness, and it's up to players to keep their furry friends content by petting them or engaging in a fun game of fetch. Unhappy critters? They’ll let you know – and might even refuse to dig for treasures until their mood improves!
- Play Fetch with Style: A brand-new fetch mechanic with a selection of throwables, including seasonal items like candy canes, alongside classic options like tennis balls and sticks. Use the Pet Machine’s new UI to create and launch toys on demand.
- Distance Calling: A convenient tool that lets players reach and reposition in-game furniture, decorations, and even fetch throwables without lifting a paw. Perfect for refining your ideal habitat with ease.
- Island Refunds: The most-requested player feature is here! Reclaim space in your habitat by returning unwanted islands to the Island Book and receive a portion of your Happy Points back in return.
- Seasonal Decorations: Add holiday cheer with themed room decorations, including a tree with lights, calming candles, cozy plushies, twinkling ornaments, and festive island accents like gingerbread animals and candy canes.
QUALITY-OF-LIFE UPDATES:
- Onboarding Enhancements: New onboarding quests guide players through the Fetch mechanic and Pet Happiness System, ensuring a smooth introduction to these updates.
- Bug Fixes: A round of fixes to improve the game’s overall performance and player experience.
“The Winter Update brings a fresh layer of interaction and customization to Living Room just in time for the holidays,” said Christina Barleben, CEO & Co-Founder of Thoughtfish GmbH. “With features like the Pet Happiness System, we’re exploring even deeper emotional connections between players and their pet, while festive decorations give everyone the chance to bring seasonal warmth into their digital spaces.”
Living Room’s Winter Update is available today (December 12) for all players. The game can be purchased for $19.99 USD exclusively on the Meta Quest Store. To stay updated, join the community on Discord or follow the game on TikTok, X, and Instagram.
