Nanali Studios (CEO Park Jae-hwan) announced on the 12nd that its idle animal healing game, 'Forest Island,' has undergone a major system overhaul and released a 'Coconut Pass' update to celebrate the summer season.

The season pass, previously operated on a three-month cycle, has been revamped into a 'Monthly Pass' format starting this summer. Beginning with the 'June Coconut Pass,' Nanali Studios plans to introduce two new monthly summer season passes through ongoing updates.

The update adds a variety of summer content to Forest Island. To kick off June, four new animals have been added to the lineup—the Purple Wooparoo, Commerson's Dolphin, Sun Conure, and Welsh Corgi—bringing more life to the island.

The game also features new atmospheric elements that capture the essence of the summer sea. Players can now decorate their own summer islands with a wide array of new items, including the dreamy 'Plankton Sea' weather effect, coconuts, white deadwood, and 'Coconut Reefs' that produce bubble effects when touched.

To celebrate the summer season, the studio is hosting a 'Special Gift Event' and a 'Friend Tag Event' on its official Instagram.

Furthermore, new users who download the app from the App Store or Google Play will receive a welcome gift featuring the popular 'Baby Rabbit Triplets' and one 'Albino Raccoon.

In addition, all registered users will receive surprise gifts in their in-game mailboxes on upcoming animal-related holidays, including World Flamingo Day (June 23), World Orca Day (July 14), and International Cat Day (August 8).

Nanali Studios CEO Park Jae-hwan stated, "We prepared this large-scale summer update by actively incorporating user feedback requesting more diverse animals. We will continue to establish Forest Island as a global animal healing game brand that inspires interest and love for nature and animals through consistent updates and diverse events."

With over 10 million cumulative downloads and a 4.7-star rating on Google Play and the App Store, 'Forest Island' is a global animal healing game. It is known for its beautiful graphics and a 'Rest Mode' that allows players to enjoy high-quality ASMR sounds of wind, waves, and birds.

The game has been recognized for its quality, having been featured as the App Store's 'Game of the Day,' 'Essential iPhone Games,' 'Essential Simulator Games,' 'Earth Day: Games for the Planet,' and 'Essential Indie Games,' as well as Google Play's 'Featured Game of the Week.' It also received a commendation from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism in the functional game category for 'Game of the Month' in the second half of 2022.
