Description: Two Laid-Back Camp game names can make a simple update feel like a scavenger hunt. Here is which one replaces the original app, what transfers, and the important DMM exception.

Chill Time is the official next version of Laid-Back Camp All-in-one!!, the mobile game often called TsunaCamp in Japan. For the Japanese mobile app, the changeover is scheduled for October 22, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. JST. Players update the existing app, and their collected campsite items carry over.

This is a real point of confusion: a September 18 Steam discussion asks how Laid-Back Camp: Camping Cook-off! differs from Chill Time. One franchise, several similarly cozy titles—and suddenly finding the correct game sounds harder than choosing a campsite.

Follow the app, not the similar names

Developer enish says the original service goes into transition maintenance on October 21 at 11:00 a.m. JST. It returns the following day as Chill Time. On supported mobile versions, the same app becomes the new experience after an update.

The focus shifts toward keeping Rin, Nadeshiko and friends on screen while you work or study. Expect a focus timer, tasks, a diary and layered campfire, rain and river sounds. It is a small campsite companion for your desk rather than simply another name on a store shelf.

What happens to your collection?

Enish explicitly lists your player name, gear, food, costumes and support cards as items that carry forward. The cards are renamed “stills.” A Steam early-access version is also planned for October 22 in the Japanese announcement; the Steam store currently displays October 21. Check your regional storefront for its local date. The announcement describes the mobile update and PC launch separately, so confirm any cross-platform account questions with the publisher.

Japan's DMM version is the exception. Its service ends October 21 and it does not move into Chill Time. The published refund window for unused paid Yuru Coins runs from October 22 through December 22, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. JST, subject to the official procedure.

If your question is “Which title keeps my old campsite going?”, start with Chill Time and the update notice for your platform. The other game title sparked a fair question; the publisher's migration notice supplies the useful answer.
