KOTAMON Updates & Patch Notes
KotaMota Games patched twice in the first three days after launch — a good sign for a two-cat studio. Summaries below are rewritten from the official Steam announcements; the originals are worth reading for the jokes alone.
Latest patch covered:
Timeline
- SITE Kotamon Wiki launches: all 40 cards across 4 sets, 40 achievements, figurine landmark locations, cereal box and foil guides — every fact checked against the Steam listing and official patch notes.
- MINOR Patch: mouse smoothing can now be turned off and FOV adjusted; disappearing garbage bags fixed; Nyanchi Crunchi cereal boxes drop more often; Jenny's shop cereal box price cut to $10,000; figurine and cosplay case find chances increased.
- MAJOR First major patch: all upgrade prices rebalanced (the accidental 'Dark Souls economy' is gone), save/load crashes fixed, autosave now also triggers when opening a new trash heap, and several achievements were repaired.
- MAJOR KOTAMON is out on Steam at $6.99 with a 20% launch discount. Demo card collections carry over; money and upgrades reset by design.
- MINOR Demo-era 'GIGA patch' ships — the update that first hinted at a surprise for players who reach the secret destination.
