Hello fellow ghouls, we're happy to announce our first big patch to the My Lil Afterlife Demo!
Aptly named Fishing & Friends, this patch adds the fishing system, meaning you can now spend your eternal life trying to catch some spooky fish. To start fishing you'll need to buy and equip a fishing rod and then interact with the fishing spots along the coastline. As you'll expect, you can fish up all sorts of items but mainly stinky fish, a new resource that can be used for crafting and summoning a new resident, Finley, to the afterlife.
As well as this, we've also expanded the playable island with a new beach to explore, added several new pieces of furniture to collect and added some new clothing items to wear, including pets for that sixth equipment slot that has remained unused until now! Pets can be found in blind boxes which randomly from from activities in the afterlife. This first wave of pets are elemental themed and drop from elemental blind boxes, so keep an eye out for those when playing.
As always the patch also includes some quality of life improvements and bug fixes but the full patch notes can be found below.

Fishing system added, with the chance to catch stinky fish, bones, dead wood, and essence

We hope you enjoy the patch, we have so much more planned for My Lil Afterlife, especially for the full game launch in October. But until then make sure to leave any feedback you have on the Steam discussion board, we want to create the best version of the game possible but we can't do that without your input on what you like, don't like or just needs fixing. Thanks!
