Hello everyone! Welcome back to... no longer monthly updates... Anyway! Fen again!

So what do we have for this update? A PHONE! You now have games on your PC on your Phone... on your Desktop Pet. How deep are we? Anyway!  This is technically Part 1 of ??? of a Minigame update we are scaling towards. We wished to have shipped a few minigames with this update, but the UI stuff around the Phone was fairly complex with a lot of backend fixes we needed to handle.

Please download the update and enjoy the QoL! We also added new furniture items :3 Enjoy some casual not much NSFW stuff.
