'Tiny Cafe' has undergone an anniversary update. On the 2nd, Nanal Studio (CEO Park Jae-hwan) announced that the idle healing game 'Tiny Cafe' has undergone an anniversary update. 'Tiny Cafe' is set in a small café run by barista rat 'Dolce' and cat 'Gusto', where players can operate the café by selling coffee and desserts to cat customers.

Players can install café facilities and create menus to sell to customers. Additionally, they can hire over 30 different types of managers and mouse part-timers with various abilities, and customize the café logo to run their own brand.

Moreover, players can roast beans directly at Gusto's roastery or enjoy a mini-game of hand-drip coffee brewing.

Not only that, but as players build intimacy with the guests, they can check the daily lives of regulars through the cat world’s SNS 'Catbook'. It is also possible to enjoy additional stories through special menu orders.

This anniversary update includes a 1st anniversary event, an autumn season Halloween event, 3 new part-timer skins, 5 manufacturing facility skins, and 2 sets of interior decorations.

Users participating in the 'Pumpkin Challenge' can create Halloween candy baskets with mini candies earned from completing various missions, and can exchange them for interior decorations to beautify their café.

Additionally, by leaving a 1st anniversary message, players can enjoy an event that offers a part-timer skin and a trophy as limited rewards.

A new user event has also been prepared. New download users from the App Store and Google Play will receive the gold-ranked manager 'Great Chef' Raphael and 500 gems.

CEO Park Jae-hwan stated, "This game combines the production and operation experience of the idle healing game 'Forest Island' with global artwork", and expressed, "We will transform into a leading global idle healing game through 'Tiny Cafe'."

Meanwhile, another representative work of Nanal Studio, 'Forest Island', has recorded 8 million cumulative downloads and maintains a rating of 4.7 in both Google Play and the App Store. It features a 'Relaxation Mode' where users can enjoy ASMR sounds. 

This game has been recognized for its artistic merit by various companies and organizations, having been selected as the App Store's 'Game of the Day', 'Essential iPhone Games', 'Popular Games', 'Essential Simulation Games', a game reflecting the spirit of Earth Day and environmental protection, 'Essential Indie Games', selected as Google Play's 'Game of the Week', and received the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award for Outstanding Games in the functional game category in the second half of 2022.
