Hello witches,
A new update is finally here, and with it, we bring you some really cool features. We especially Enjoy a new type of event added with this patch - Festivals. At certain dates, the town will organize a festival, based on a specific theme. This not only changes how the town looks for the day, but also opens up a unique minigame tied to each of these festivals!
Other than that, there’s new things for fishing lovers, bug enthusiasts (the bzz bzz kind, not the “I crash your game” ones, of course) and junior archeologists!
The full patch notes are as follows:
