Growing your bonds reveals more portals- friends seem to naturally gather around you! Make your way through the strange new locations beyond the rift with magical tools entrusted to you by your Critter friends.

- Here For Each Other – Run a wholesome café alongside your fantastical friends- your Critters would love to meet your café visitors! Arrange the perfect space for a booked event with Critters they’d adore, or open the café for general business and master your customer’s requests for the best visit possible.
