In addition, the Activity Layer can be decorated with figures and various exhibits collected in the meantime, and an 'Armory' is also prepared to display the weapons that have been drawn. In addition, it will be presented as a space where users can enjoy special moments with tactical dolls, from galleries, Ruby arcade machines, bar counters for enjoying drinks and food, and Pillow Harmony for listening to ASMR. In addition, you can select your favorite scene from the scenes taken in the Activity Layer and set it as the background, and you can also select one of the tactical dolls and walk around the Activity Layer. Initially, you can control 'Clukay', and the number of controllable tactical dolls will be gradually updated.

Along with the Activity Layer update, the Macchiato two-person interaction story item 'Time Capsule - Flutter's Room' will be distributed for free.
