KOTAMON's 'Ultra Update' Brings Autumn Décor, Auto-Cleaning, and a Fan-Made Card Set
The developer behind KOTAMON — the game with the famously long title — has published what they're calling the ULTRA UPDATE, coinciding with a Steam Autumn Sale discount described as larger than the launch promotion.
What changed
- Autumn visual overhaul: Jenny's dump has been redecorated with a new color palette, pumpkins, and lanterns. The seasonal look is temporary — lasting a week or two — before becoming an optional setting in a future update.
- Auto-cleaning: Cards can now be automatically cleaned using in-game currency. The price is described by the developers as "fixed and outrageously high," reflecting uncertainty about what condition lies beneath the grime.
- Auto-gluing: Card fragments can be assembled automatically, also for in-game currency. The cost scales with rarity and quality. No real-money microtransactions are involved — the post explicitly distances the game from that model.
- New puzzle patterns: For players who prefer manual assembly, additional patterns have been added.
- New Brawler card set: A fan-made card contest produced far more submissions than the developers anticipated. The volume of community artwork prompted the addition of an entirely new set — the Brawler set — built from player contributions. (The source text ends mid-sentence regarding further details.)
For players, the update's practical core is choice: repetitive card maintenance now has an in-game shortcut, while those who preferred the manual process retain it with more variety.
