Nippon Ichi Software rolls out 1.30 update for Hono Gurafiti no Niwa
The second free patch adds a seed-sowing machine, birthday and "???" events, and sends the dog into its doghouse on PS5, Switch and PC.
Nippon Ichi Software released the second free update for its life-simulation game Hono Gurafiti no Niwa on October 27, bringing the title to version 1.30. The patch is available now on PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and Windows.
The most visible change concerns the game's dog, which will now enter its doghouse instead of sleeping in front of it. The update also adds a birthday event for the protagonist and a "??? event" whose contents the publisher has not described.

Players relocating livestock sheds and greenhouses can now flip them left to right. Automaton Media reported the contents of the update.
