Overview
- NPC Studio released the 1.0 update on August 5, 2026, ending a two‑year Early Access period and adding the game’s final story beats.
- The update introduces marriage, weddings, children, house exterior upgrades, completion of the Town Repair questline, and the ability to raise Town Renown to 100.
- Players do not need to start new save files to access 1.0 content because new quests, marriage endings, and Steam achievements apply retroactively to existing saves.
- The launch has been met with broad praise on Steam, where about 97% of roughly 26,000 reviews are positive, and the game is Steam Deck verified with a temporary launch discount on PC.
- 1.0 also bundles many player‑requested quality‑of‑life and cosmetic changes such as avatar rotation, options to disable breakup letters and automatic status changes, cloud shadows, and NPC Studio says updates will continue after 1.0.
