Look, let's be honest—does anyone really need an excuse to redecorate their virtual cafe? NEXTURE certainly thinks so, as they've rolled out a June update for their management sim, 'Maru is a Puppy: I Became a Cafe Owner? Awesome!' (hereinafter referred to as Maru is a Puppy Cafe Game), bringing a fresh 'Little Santorini' theme just in time for the summer heat. It is a grab-bag of seasonal aesthetics, new menu items, a birthday bash for a popular webtoon character, and a handful of quality-of-life tweaks.

The 'Little Santorini' theme, which dropped on June 10th, leans heavily into that exotic, blue-sea aesthetic to help you cool down your cafe decor. To pair with the visuals, they've launched two new seasonal menu items: the Refreshing Sea Jelly Soda and the Colourful Beach Sea Parfait. If you fancy a bit of a grind, you can complete the three-part sequential theme quests to unlock exclusive interior items.

Mark your calendars for June 30th, when the game celebrates the birthday of Lim Jun-ho, a regular guest and character from the original webtoon. Expect a dedicated seasonal menu and a fresh set of special quests with rewards for those who participate. For the returning players feeling a bit rusty, there are now dedicated missions to ease your transition back, plus a UI overhaul on the main screen to tidy things up ahead of the game's first anniversary.

A representative from NEXTURE noted, "This June update is really about balancing seasonal flair with the improvements our players have been asking for." They added, "We have included extra support for returning players, so we hope everyone finds it easier to jump back in and enjoy the game."
