When you carry out activities in Hokko, whether it’s fishing or spending time in the design tool, you’ll now unlock ‘Mayor Merits’.
These Merits come with a small perk, designed to make your like in Hokko a bit easier. Plus, you can work on some fun merits to improve the town too! These will get you some cool rewards like the donation box.
If you help villagers out with their requests, you’ll be able to ask them for help too, sending them on errands to collect resources for you – super helpful!
Aside from the new content, we’ve included a bunch of fixes in this update. Including some community-reported issues.
