Greetings from Play Together!

The freezing winter season is back on Kaia Island!
Also, meet the huge and cute Retriever Pets at the new and improved Pet Shop!

▶ This Isn't Your Average Pet Shop! It's "A Paradise for Pets"!
- The Plaza's Pet Shop is bigger and better than before! Come to "Pet Paradise" to meet the all-new Retriever Pets and staff!
- Acquire a Retriever Pet by hatching a "Retriever Egg" sold at "Pet Paradise". Raise it well to find out what its coat color is! A Retriever Pet's coat color is determined when it reaches Level 4.
- Complete the "A Paradise for Pets" event missions to acquire "Pet Coins" and exchange them for pet-related items. Complete all the missions for a chance to acquire a cute retriever-themed costume!
- Talking to NPC "Tammy" in "Pet Paradise" gives players the option to send their pets to "Pet Island" and acquire "Pet Coins". However, players must think it over first before sending a pet to "Pet Island" since pets will not return once they have been sent.
- For details, select the "Event" button on the top right of your screen in the game.

▶ Check Your Attendance Twice!
- Two attendance events have been planned for release! Collect items such as the "Retriever Ears Hairband" from the "Bow Wow Attendance" event or the "Rolling Snowball (Vehicle)" from the "Rollin' Winter Attendance" event.
- A total of 7 days needs to be checked for the "Bow Wow Attendance" while the "Rollin' Winter Attendance" requires a total of 21 days to be checked.
- Please note that you cannot acquire the items if you do not actually stamp the day by pressing the button. Make sure to select the "Event" button on the top right to select the "Bow Wow Attendance" or the "Rollin' Winter Attendance" button and check in to collect your reward for the day.

▶ Get Closer to Pets Through New Pet Functions!
- Players now have the option to "pet" or "hold" their pets to be more close. Also, the pet's level, EXP, and desires can be checked more easily at a glance.
- "Holding up" pets allows players to carry their pets around while moving, while Retriever Pets have the "Ride Pet" action so that players can ride on their back.
- Not only does "feeding" a pet allow players to buy and use Pet Nutrition Supplements to raise the pet's EXP, but also use other items as well, such as the "Magic Pet Accessory Potion" that equips pets with a special effect and items to satisfy certain desires that pets may have.
- Some multi-passenger vehicles have been changed to give pets the option to ride along. After getting in a vehicle, players can tap the "Vehicle Settings" button under the bag icon to adjust riding permissions for pets. Get even closer with pets be it taking it out for a walk outside the house or bringing it along on a fishing trip somewhere far away at sea!

▶ Inherit It All By Choosing a Main Pet!
- When combining pets, a "Main Pet" may be chosen. As a result, the combined pet will directly inherit the name and functions (such as Ride Pet and effects) of the "Main Pet".
- Retriever Pets can still be combined even if the coat colors differ from the "Main Pet". Raise multiple Retriever Pets and visit NPC "Gandalp" behind the Camping Ground's waterfall to combine them!

▶ Help Gather Stars in "Santa's Very Busy Workshop!"!
- Santa's Workshop is in need of "Stars" to craft Christmas gifts. Help Santa's elves gather "Stars" to later acquire items such as the "Christmas Stocking Hopper".
- These "Stars" can be seen floating around Kaia Island and may be caught using a bug net. They can also be used to craft Christmas-themed items at the Kaia Workshop.
- For details, select the "Event" button on the top right of your screen in the game.
※ Will be added on December 13, 2023 16:00 (PST).
