We want our animals to love you as much as you love them. A simple example of our animal personality plans: When the dog sees the player it starts wagging a little, when the player looks back at the dog you get BIG WAGS

Our lawyer Oliver has informed us that cats have been spotted in other video games, media, and even in real life. This is a clear infringement on our copyright, as we invented cats for Calico.
Oliver hopes that we can settle this out of court.
Calico is the ✨daily deal✨ on Steam meaning for the next 48h you can buy it for 20% off! 🥰
We also have a new patch available for Steam that includes glasses, beards and kaymapping! (coming soon to consoles!)
Happy Holidays Calico friends! We hope you're having a good December, whether that be with family, friends, pets, or a peaceful time alone.

In the meantime, if you get stuck anywhere in the game, please quit without saving to prevent getting stuck permanently! One big sticking point is before giving the cat outside the Witching Woods their toy, so save before that.
The patch will fix these various sticking points!

After various delays the latest patch finally reached the switch! This isn't the big gameplay update, mostly bug fixes and polish. Including switch specific improvements like making the plants bloom into existence instead of popping in!
Our first stretch goal is a character creator at $45,000! We are INCREDIBLY excited for this one so pls fund it so we can make a super magical character creator that includes skin tone, body type, gender, eyes, hair, and outfit customization! ✨
We can’t thank you all enough for all your support and endless kindness.
I’m doing my best to get through all the messages to solve any issue I can
We are planning on a patch as soon as we can for bugs that are being found! Thank you all for your helpful feedback! -Kells ❤️
We've gotten some comments asking, so I wanted to re-confirm with everyone that we fully plan to work full time on bug fixes and content updates to all our platforms for the foreseeable future. Our console patches should hopefully be out before the end of next week! 🥰
One of the 6 areas of Calico is a snowy mountain vista. Travel up this big cat shaped mountain to visit the hot springs, and hang out with new animals like polar bears, arctic foxes and capybara! ❄❄
