Hi Michael. Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear you and your family are enjoying Living Room. We're very curious about what you mean about "things not lining up with the room scan" -- this sounds like it could be a device issue. Would you mind sending a video or description to us by email (support@thoughtfish.de) or our Discord channel (https://www.discord.gg/az7bCEF8NF) so we can help diagnose the issue? We'd also love to hear more about your ideas for controls - perhaps it's something we can address in a future update. In the meantime you can also try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve the room scan issue:

1. Restart your device - sometimes a quick reboot can fix many issues.
2. Ensure both your device and the game are fully updated to the latest versions.
3. Confirm device compatibility - Living Room is currently supported on Meta Quest 2, 3 and 3S.
4. Delete & redo the Space Setup to ensure your room is properly set up: https://www.meta.com/en-gb/help/quest/463504908043519/ (Please ensure the room is well lit, both when redoing the Space Setup and playing the game!)
5. Try starting a new game or loading a different save to see if the issue persists there.

Please let us know if any of these manage to solve the issue. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you again for your helpful feedback!

09/05/2025 - Update:
Hey Matbee! Just wanted to let you know that we took your feedback into account, and have updated the game so that Creative Mode is now unlocked from the start of the game. We did this change in part because of your direct feedback, so thank you! However if you really want to learn how to play the game, we recommend following the onboarding tutorial which is accessible through Normal Mode. Otherwise, in Creative Mode, gameplay tips can be accessed by opening the Settings book and clicking "Show Tips". The Settings book can be opened by taking it from the shelf, or by pressing the menu button on the left controller. Please let us know what you think of the update. We hope that this will help change your experience and enjoyment of the game. 😊

Hi Matbee! Thanks so much for your feedback - we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hear you on the tutorial length, and we understand how important it is to be able to jump in and start playing. We're exploring options for a more streamlined onboarding and possibly including a parent bypass mode, and we'll keep you updated if and when that becomes available. 😊 If you'd be willing to help us improve the onboarding, please feel welcome to join our Discord (https://www.discord.gg/az7bCEF8NF) and share your ideas! As for shared experiences, it's a request we've heard from others as well. While it's a more technically complex addition, it's definitely on our radar for future planning. Thanks again for your input, it helps us shape the direction of the game and we are grateful for it!

10/04/2025 - Troubleshooting steps:

Hi Jack, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble moving the islands. We'd love to help you get things working as intended!

Normally, when you hover your controller around the edges of/slightly into the island, you should see repositioning handles pop up which you can grab to adjust your island - both horizontally and vertically. If for some reason you can't reach the sides of the island, there is a "Return Islands and Room Decorations to Books" button inside the Settings Book that allows you to position your islands from the Island Book after.

If this does not work, there may be an issue with the device setup or controls. Here are a few steps to try:

1. Check the controls you are using to move. Make sure you're using the grip buttons when trying to move objects. If you're unsure of the controls, check the in-game tutorial or Settings menu for control layout.

2. Try restarting your device - sometimes a quick reboot can fix controller sync or tracking issues.

3. Ensure both your device and the game are fully updated to the latest versions.

4. Check the Space Setup to ensure your boundary is properly set up and your controllers are fully visible to the tracking sensors: https://www.meta.com/en-gb/help/quest/463504908043519/

5. Try starting a new game or loading a different save to see if the issue persists there.

If none of that helps, we'd be happy to look into it further! Just reach out to us at support@thoughtfish.de or join our Discord (https://www.discord.gg/az7bCEF8NF) for live support.

Thank you so much! We hope they bring you joy! 🐆🐘🦍

Thank you so much for your review! Inside the Settings book on your bookshelf, there is a "Return Islands and Room Decorations to Books" button. By clicking this button, then you would only need to take the Bookshelf and Questboard with you :) Give this a try, and if it helps please feel free to update your review! If you need more support or have any questions, you are welcome to join our Discord: http://discord.gg/az7bCEF8NF

Hi GalaxyWimper! Thanks for your feedback :) Merging islans is definitely a fun idea and we'll be sure to explore this possibility when we begin planning for future updates!

As for the plant/animal limit, per the chat we had in Discord, we want to make sure that all users regardless of hardware can enjoy the best game quality possible - and because some users are on earlier hardware versions (like the Quest 2), we want to minimize any chance of frame drops or a dip in performance. That said, including an "at your own risk" toggle allowing you to place more than the set limit of plants and animals is a fun idea and something that is also under consideration for the future.

Hopefully this helps alleviate any concerns you had with Living Room :D If there is anything we can do to help raise your review, please let us know! Thanks again for sharing your feedback and suggestions :)
