A DLC/sequel/ChristmasEpisode called Jingle BEL/S was released in December 2018. It takes place more than a year after the original, with BEL/S having maxed out her relationship score with all characters available in the original game. The only way she can improve her relationships is by giving Christmas presents, so she is determined to find the perfect gift for everyone.
Along the way, she meets a lot of new spirits and fights the Hollow, the spirit of fake holiday spirit.
