We're horrified to announce that a new unseen trailer for the banned 1995 title Forbidden Solitaire has surfaced. Bizarrely, it seems to contain some audio of the original developers at the now defunct Heartblade Interactive, along with grisly clips from the game itself.

Tiny Teams

In further concerning news, this title has been included in Yogscast Games' Tiny Teams 2025 event, which starts today. If you encounter any streamers in possession of a short demo build of the game, please exercise extreme caution.

You can now change language for Shadowhand Solitaire on Steam via the options screen.

Supported languages are: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Note: at present we have no plans to officially support more languages because we are an indie microstudio. But we welcome fan translations.

Enjoy playing Shadowhand Solitaire in your chosen language!

This update has improvements for Steam Deck, Steam Cloud, and other improvements/fixes. Enjoy! - Steam Deck: Replaced "Click" in all tutorial text with "Tap". - Steam Deck: If "Exit Game" is used via the Steam button the game will no longer say "Sorry the game didn't close properly last time." on next boot. - Steam Deck: The on-screen keyboard will now appear automatically when the player is prompted to enter their name. - Steam Deck: Replaced "Click to continue" on the first story dialog with "Tap to continue" and made it larger. - Improved Steam Cloud support so that the first time you play on another device it will pick the first profile in the profile list instead of using a blank profile. - Updated steam_api.dll and Steamstub.dll - You can now pass in command line arguments (Steam Launch Options) to change the save data location as follows: SaveInDocuments or SaveInAppData or SaveInCGames or SaveInExeFolder - Made sure that Skip Story button is always in the default state even if it was clicked before. - Fixed an issue when rapidly clicking the stock pile and obtaining a wildcard. - Fixed bug where if the Pillars of Order ability changed a knotted card suit locks were not reduced by the correct amount. - When entering your name the first character is now automatically uppercased. - Updated the news popup and news icon for Shadowhand Solitaire. We've done this because the best way to let our fans know about our new games is via cross-promotion from the older games and, as an indie micro-studio, every little thing we can do helps.

- Clicking Newsletter and More Games no longer closes the game to open the browser unless you are in full screen mode. - Nightmare checkbox label is now dimmed the same as the other checkbox labels. - Moved news icon higher in draw order so that it draws under any dimming caused by other dialogs such as More Games dialog. - Defringed the images in the Graphics/News folder. - Fixed an issue where running the game for the first time would show a dialog saying "Starting in Windowed mode due to incorrect shutdown." - If the game is closed incorrectly (e.g. from a crash) it will now show a dialog on boot that allows the player to try out an OpenGL graphics driver instead of DirectX, which may work better on some Intel video cards. - Fixed OpenGL windowed mode so it has a title bar. - If the game fails to save data it now shows an error message advising players to exclude/whitelist the game/save data folder in their virus killer or One Drive. - Changed Regency Solitaire II references to "Out Now".
