- Update 1.2.1 (Language Localization) - 6 December 2022
Merry Yuletide and Happy Holidays! The highly requested translations are now here, plus a few modifications for an easier gameplay experience. These translations have been a work in progress for a few months now since there’s over 120,000 words for the characters, so I’m beyond happy to have it finally ready!

Go into Settings, then press on the button next to ‘Language’ to change it. Changed the inventory swap rows from ./, to Q/E.

- Brookhaven News! - 4 May 2022
Greetings Fellow Witches! I want to start off by thanking everyone for their support and feedback over these past few months (oh, how time flies!). It started off a bit bumpy at launch since this is my first game, but I genuinely believe that all of the comments, both good and bad, have helped me to make Brookhaven even better! I’m also excited to share that bug reports have considerably decreased, much to the disappointment of Noah (sorry, bug boy). I owe special thanks to all of the wonderful people who reported bugs and were patient with me as I fixed them! I also welcome everyone who was initially on the fence about playing Brookhaven to try out the Demo and test the game for themselves. I’m confident that you’ll fall in love with the world just like so many other players already have! Plus, if you get stuck or have any questions, there are numerous Guides available on Steam that we…

There's also a pre-recorded broadcast that will be playing over the weekend to showcase the first 7 hours of my playthrough (that ends with me becoming a vampire farmer).

This is a small update to tackle an issue with memory optimization. Changelog: New Tameable Pet for Supporter 2 Edition: Raccoon. Once tamed, they will have a chance to drop trash or precious stones.
