Community items like Trading Cards and Badges are now available!
This is something many of you have been asking for, and we’re really happy to finally have it in the game. We hope you enjoy collecting the cards and crafting badges!
To thank you for your support, we’ve made some wallpapers for you, free for everyone who owns the game! We’ve included both 16:9 and 21:9 versions, as well as the character PNG files with transparent backgrounds in case you’d like to create your own wallpapers. (Additional wallpaper of Winged Kyra and PNG files are added for the Supporter Pack as an extra thank you!) To get the files, simply download the free DLC (link). Then you can find them here: Right-click the game in your library → Manage → Browse local files. The files are in the WallpaperAndArtPack folder! (Supporter Pack owners will also see a SupporterArtPack folder.) Thank you again for supporting the game! Your support means a lot to a tiny indie team like us.

We just hit the release button — it's live!🎉
Thank you to everyone who followed along during development. We're so proud to finally put this one in your hands. It's our longest game yet, and we've poured everything into it.
We hope you love it as much as we loved making it.
As always, we'll be keeping a close eye on the release to squash any bugs that pop up, and then we'd love to hear your feedback too.

We have just submitted the build for Steam Approval!
We're hoping it will be approved, and we'll be keeping an eye out and adjust for any feedback we get.
Right now we have entered a mostly polish stage, making sure the game is fun, clearly understandable (for instance, as above, these tutorial panels) and looks good! Lots of internal testing too.
To be fair there are a few things that still need to get done - Sound Effects (like button clicks, menus, or environmental noises) is looking like it's next up, but there should not be any blockers or delays at this stage.
We will keep you posted!
Where the games development is at:
Level design is done! Every area now has its core ideas in place. We’ll still nudge things around as we play test, but the heavy lifting of area design is done.With that locked in alongside the narrative and exploration loops, the most time consuming chunks of content design work are finally out of the way! Next Up:What’s left is more fiddly stuff: environment dressing, sound effects, a few technical bits like cloud saves and achievements, plus the usual art, animation, and gameplay polish :) The main news you're probably interested in: Release Date!Right now we’re aiming for the early-2026 Steam Next Fest, this feels like a good amount of polish time and also a good window to get the game in front of as many players as possible.A demo is also on the cards, most likely once the audio is in and everything feels more complete. Addendum: We thought it's high time to start cross-posting updates here, but as a reminder you can find our very latest updates on Patreon After a while they become public on Discord (and now, here!)About
