HELLO!
I'm Rares from the bear team and I'm stoked to announce the newest update to Bear and Breakfast - The Fintastic Winter (Tiny) Update! This is the first of our content updates for the game, and while it's pretty small, it packs a mighty punch!
The Fintastic Winter (Tiny) Update
Recycling
You can now visit the garbage grinder in A24 to recycle any crafted furniture! The recycling feature will destroy any crafted piece of furniture and return around 50% of materials used in crafting, rounded up. You will be able to access the garbage grinder after you've met the three rats in A24.
Winter-Themed Decorations!
We're celebrating the Winter holiday with over 30 new Decorative Items that will be available for a limited time at the new Special Shop. Once you've advanced to the A24 (for new saves), find the source of joy (read: capitalism) in the area to unlock the new shop. The new Decorations will be available to buy for a few months, but all bought items will remain in your inventory / cabins forever!
A cozy new Outfit for Hank!
Also available in the Special Shop you'll find three new pieces of clothing for Hank!
A bunch of QOL changes!
We've added our first batch of Quality-Of-Life changes to the game, including the ability to quick swap items between inventories (CTRL+Click on Mouse&Keyboard or Left/Right Triggers on Controller), the ability to turn off the Trail Mix Trinket, gave the Recipe Box trinket the ability to also automatically add ingredients (not just cards) and more!
And that's not all:
Verified on Deck!
I'm very happy to report that the Fintastic Winter Update (1.6.9) also brings fixes that allow Bear and Breakfast to be Verified on the Steam Deck! We're very excited to be able to have the little bear game verified!
And to top it all off:
Steam Winter Sale!
Bear and Breakfast is now officially 20% off for the entire duration of the Steam Winter sale! (22nd of December 2022 until the 5th of January 2023). If you haven't fulfilled your life's purpose of running a little cabin in the woods as a bear, there's never been a better time than now.
