On top of the unityroom release, it adds a major increase in goals and daily conversation events, plus five new events covering the stump, the Master, the cherry tree, and Hanasaka, along with new scenarios and BGM.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also adds a system where gifts arrive from the box garden every day after spring arrives, usable in daily life or to fill the garden with spring.
