Hello spooky spirits, and happy 2016! We've been gathering feedback over the last several months, and wanted to do one big patch that fixes a lot of the common issues still lingering. If you have any issues, please let us know very soon, as we won't be doing too many more patches after this one. Patch Notes:

• Translations - All languages have been updated once again, with mostly minor tweaks that we've received from our avid fans. This includes spelling, grammar, incorrect words, and most commonly bugs where text would go off the screen, or be gone entirely.
• Controller Support - We've fixed several major controllers that weren't working in the latest few versions (Xbox One), and updated our controller plugin which now supports even more controllers (Moga) - http://www.gallantgames.com/pages/incontrol-supported-controllers
• Steam HUD Imprint - If you had double monitors, any Steam HUD that popped up (friends logging online, etc) would stay up on the screen, appearing like a bad glitch. This is fixed
• Changing Resolutions - We did additional fixes to this
• Additional Minor Bug Fixes

Whispering Willows launched on iOS and Android yesterday, and Xbox One today! We've already been featured on the Android TV store as well as Xbox One's Summer Sale. We're currently working on updating translations for all versions. We hired some professional proofreaders to clean up all languages. We also will be making a few fixes for a bug that occurs when switching resolution. The mobile version will be getting updated controls in a week or two. We're currently looking into solutions for it. David ːCatacombSkullː

Hello spooky soldiers! We announced this week on our social media channels, that Whispering Willows will be coming out on PlayStation 4 and Vita this summer! We are very excited about this, and hope you'll support us on our new consoles ːCatacombSkullː Well still of course support all versions equally and we’ve continued to fix bugs. Patch Notes:

• We adjusted how the monsters in the garden maze react, so they should snag you multiple times now instead of allowing you to easily just run past them
• We made ladders more forgiving to climb, so you don’t have to be quite as close to go up or down them
• We fixed several places in the game where text would overflow the dialogue box on certain languages
• Fixed bug where the Mac version was continuing to have issues displaying multiple resolutions
