The adorable cat-cafe simulation game has just gotten a huge update with lots of little fixes and additions.

In case you missed this sensational game, Calico is a super cute indie about owning and operating your very own cat cafe. That’s not all! You also happen to be taking on the roll of a rambunctious young lady with some sweet magical abilities. Once you get that old yarn ball a rollin’, you will be able to decorate your lovely cafe with all kinds of furniture and knick-knacks. Calico is meant to be a relaxing adventure for explorers of all ages.

The game is currently available through the Nintendo eShop for the Switch and PC via Steam, where it costs just $11.99. Now that the game is getting its first big bug fix update since release, one can’t help but get the feeling that there has never been a better time to try out Calico on Nintendo Switch. Below you can see a trailer for the game, as well as a detailed list of all the changes that were introduced in this update.
