Hello Town lets you merge and revitalise an old shopping complex while raising a cat, now in pre-registration

• Merge items to fulfil cafe orders
• Renovate and decorate, then care for your cat
• Now in pre-registration

Springcomes has opened pre-registration sign-ups for Hello Town, the studio's upcoming merge puzzler on iOS and Android. You'll take on the role of newbie employee Jisoo, who's starting her first day at a real estate company wide-eyed and hopeful. You're faced with a huge challenge right off the bat, though - it seems you've been tasked with revitalising a run-down building with the vision of turning it into a hip and happening new complex. 

So begins your quest to show off your remodelling chops in Hello Town - and thanks to the charming characters and adorable visuals, it seems like it's going to be a pretty pleasant journey. You'll need to merge items to complete cafe orders, earn profits to expand your complex, and - best of all - you get to raise a cat.

Yes, it might just be a universally known fact that any game can be made loads better just by throwing a cuddly cat companion into the mix.

As you complete different missions and level up, you can also decorate shops to appeal to more customers. And if you happen to be off the grid for whatever reason, fret not - you can play offline and keep your complex afloat.

In the meantime, if you're eager to join in on all the fun, you can do so by checking out Hello Town on the App Store and on Google Play to pre-register. It's free-to-play with in-app purchases, with an expected launch date of January 31st on the App Store. Do take that with a grain of salt though, as these things often change without prior notice.
