We've just rolled out version 1.0.9! This update brings highly requested features like Discord Rich Presence, alongside crucial bug fixes and major improvements to how your progress syncs with Steam.

Check out the full patch notes below:

🚀 What's New & Major Improvements

• Incremental Steam Synchronization (Important!): We've completely revamped how achievements and stats sync with Steam to ensure your progress is tracked reliably. If you still encounter any issues with achievements or stats not syncing properly, please reach out and report it in the community hub so we can investigate it immediately!

• Discord Rich Presence: Show off your in-game status! Your friends on Discord can now see exactly what you're up to while playing.

• Updated Localizations: We've updated our localization files to provide a better experience for players across different regions.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Level C5.F4: Fixed an issue where the hint was incorrect regarding level completion.

As always, thank you so much for your continuous feedback and support!

Happy gaming! 🎮

Hey everyone, Ramon here 🖐.

I wanted to drop by and say a huge thank you: we've just passed 1,000 copies sold! I am so happy with the reception Suitcase Stories is getting and with all the feedback you’ve been leaving in the reviews and discussions.

A new story is on the way ✍️ Reading through your comments, I noticed many of you asked for a bit more context between the chapters. We thought it was a great idea, so we decided to add short story texts to connect the puzzles.

I want to highlight something important to us: none of this is being generated by AI. Suellen, from our studio, took on the mission to write everything manually. She is not a professional writer, but she is doing her absolute best and putting a lot of heart into making your experience more special.

Achievements and Steam Deck 🛠️ We are also keeping an eye on the technical side. We know some players are having issues with achievements not unlocking properly. We are already investigating this and working on a fix to patch it as soon as possible.

Additionally, we are working behind the scenes to get the official Steam Deck Verified status!

Cozy Puzzle Bundle 🧩 Oh, and one last quick note: if you enjoy relaxing games, we set up a "Cozy Puzzle" bundle on the store. It pairs Suitcase Stories with our other recent release, Shapes of Memory. If you already own one of them, the bundle gives you an extra discount to complete your collection right on the Steam page.

Thank you so much for all your support and patience as we continue to improve the game.

Thank you to everyone who reported this issue, for your patience, and for using our workaround while we worked on the fix. Your feedback allows us to keep improving Suitcase Stories 🧡

📌Warning: Please make sure to update your game to the latest version to apply the changes.

Here is a very satisfying GIF, by the way, of the camera lenses snapping into place 😮‍💨 Thank you so much for playing!

Best, Suellen Creative Hand

Hello everyone! I'm Suellen, and I'm part of Creative Hand along with Ramon.

Thanks to your feedback, a bug was identified in Chapter 3, the colored camera lenses level. In it, the camera lenses cannot be added to the box. I apologize for the inconvenience, and we are already fixing it.

In the meantime, to continue playing the remaining levels of the demo, you can skip it as follows:

Hello everyone!

Hi, everyone!

I wanted to share a little bit about the progress of Suitcase Stories.

For those who are just joining us, our goal is to create a relaxing puzzle game where each suitcase tells a story. It's about taking a moment to think about how many things we accumulate throughout our lives.

Some technical news:

• Controls: We will have full gamepad support for those who prefer to play in a relaxed manner.

• Languages: We will have 12 languages at launch, but the game design is visual and does not rely on text to be played.

About the Puzzles The idea is that the levels are logic challenges, where you need to find hidden patterns to organize everything.

What if you get stuck? No stress. We've created a visual hint system to give you a boost if you need it.

Join our Playtest! We're looking for people to test the game now. If you want to help us polish the experience, just fill out the form below:
