More Content in the future?

[Amariel]

I'm on the fence about getting this game. I've seen people say there's only about 18 hours worth of content in the game. Is this true? Is the game considered finished other than seasonal events that will come and go? And what is the end game? I know in Animal Crossing New Horizons it was terraforming and decorating your island. How about this game? Thank you in advance for your replies.

Yes.

I'm 32 hours of playtime and I'm not even half way thru the friendships.

As for new content this was on apple arcade before Steam and they have been updating it since and with the launch of the switch and steam version they added Icy Mountain content and a bunch of other things.

I'm pretty sure this game did really well here on Steam so we can probably expect more content.


Snowfall: All-new ski chalet-themed furniture, decorations, and clothing
Hugs & Hearts Festival returns in February
New Creation Station – Piano Plush Pals
Remote Companioning
New Flower & Effect – Frostfeather & Frost

This is what was added to the Apple Arcade version in jan 2025

18 hours is a lie.

The endgame content of this game includes gardening and, as a bit of a spoiler, creating all the recipes for the café’s Dango and Tapioca drinks, as well as furniture customization. There's also a collection of character hats (which can only be obtained at a too low drop rate after becoming best friends). Most people can complete this collection by giving gifts to all characters every day for a year in real time.

As for flowers, it’s likely impossible to ever create every single color and pattern variation, even in a lifetime. Additionally, since this game receives regular updates, similar infinite recipe-based content may be added in the future.

Other endgame content includes collecting music discs, which spawn randomly across all regions at a rate of only one per day in real time. In the Steam version, there are 157 discs in total, with duplicates being inevitable. Because of this, collecting everything in just 18 hours is completely impossible. Even 180 hours wouldn’t be enough. If you're playing solo, expect to spend at least 300-400 hours—excluding flower collection, of course.

Daily play sessions are generally short unless you focus on gardening or collecting music discs. However, these short sessions add up over time, eventually totaling hundreds of hours.

Thank you both for your replies. I'm going to get it. I really like Hello Kitty and this game looks like a good way to just wind down after a (very!!) stressful day at work. So thank you both again for the helpful replies. :)

No problem I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Yeah I would say there's a good amount of content. I'm over 35 hours into it and I haven't grown bored yet. :) It's pretty grindy if you want to get a lot of time out of it, though. I'm not sure I'll finish all of the content, but I can see myself playing for a good while still.

Yeah, one thing they might add later is City Town.
