The update kicks off with Stella receiving a letter from what seems like a complete stranger. She’s supposed to visit Oxbury to meet this stranger, who turns out to be Beverly, Stella’s former neighbor.
Stella invites her onboard, and if you’ve played the game, you know what happens next. Tissues, please.
Aside from navigating Beverly’s afterlife, you’ll also get a horde of new treasure maps to sort through, an archive, a radio for your lounge, and these recipes:
Laska: A delicious spicy noodle soup that will cure any cold. Milquetoast: It’s just wet bread. Flamin’ Firebirdz: After a bag of these bad boys, you won’t even feel your face. Aloo Gobi: A vegetable delight with flavour to boot. Chai Latte: A spicy drink for cold or hot days. Chilaquiles: A breakfast classic for people in the know. Dakgangjeong: Sweet, crispy and spicy. Three delicious words!
Stanley’s story gets a minor tweak, and Stella has a new guesthouse request to contend with.
