👻 Now playable with Controller

⚙️ Controller Support & Save&Load Bug-Fixing Patch 0.9.16

As we get closer to the full release of My Little Cafe Nightmare, we’ve tackled some major improvements behind the scenes. The Save & Load system has been reworked and stabilized, and controller support has been significantly enhanced. You can now fully navigate the UI with a controller, and overall controls feel much smoother and more responsive. As always... if you encounter any major issues, you can report them via the in-game tool or directly via Discord.

Oh, and we also got new hats. Look at these handsome ghosts:
