The biggest relief for many players will be the fix for the dog interaction bug. Previously, a rare freezing issue could occur when interacting with your four-legged friend, and more frustratingly, players who accidentally declined the adoption prompt twice were permanently locked out of having a shop companion. This update removes that lockout, so everyone can finally have their loyal companion riding shotgun in the trailer.
Narrative progression has also seen a significant boost. The timeframe for Harper's cave quest has been widened, preventing players from missing out on critical story beats due to tight scheduling. Additionally, the St. Bookston crest and the Grandfather Clock have had their effects and descriptions corrected to match their actual utility in your shop. For the completionists out there, the developers have combed through the inventory to fix over 90 book tags, ensuring your stock is properly categorized for the town's picky readers.
If you have been curating a specific vibe for your mobile shop, the cassette tape fix is a welcome addition. Tapes will now correctly appear in their designated genre-boosting categories, allowing you to maximize your shop's appeal to specific demographics in Bookstonbury. It is a solid maintenance patch that lets the charm of the seaside town shine through without the distraction of broken quests or inventory errors.
