- Unity Version Update - 6 October 2025
Unity has posted that a security vulnerability exists in all builds as far back as Unity 2017. As such all Grindwheel Games titles are being updated to Unity 6 to remove this loophole. This should not introduce any issues, but please feel free to contact us for support if you discover any bugs as a result of this change.

- Grindwheel Games Store on TeePublic - 30 January 2022
After the closure of our Shark Robot store, we have been searching for a new home for Grindwheel Game merchandise. I have been experimenting with Tee Public during the week, and have uploaded a number of items in new designs to the store: https://www.teepublic.com/en-gb/user/grindwheel-games-store I hope over the coming weeks I will be able to get art from every game up onto the page, but I am letting people know about this update now, while the items are still in the launch window sales. At the moment I intend to put up the following for every book: The full title and word art. The game's unique logo. The clean cover art. Each of the General art pages. In the future we can look into running polls to see what other artwork people would like to see from each book go into the store. In the meantime, please check out the currently available selection!
- Posters Become Limited Edition - 2 December 2021
Unfortunate news - due to low sales of the posters on Shark Robot, they will sadly be removed from that storefront. I will be looking into finding a way to bring them back on another platform, if possible. But, as this will take time and it not a 100% certain thing, your best bet to get these high-quality prints is to jump in the store as soon as possible. The posters will remain up until the end of the year, at which point they will no longer be available. https://sharkrobot.com/collections/grindwheel-games
- Small Bug Fixes - 6 November 2021
Just a small patch to fix the following bugs: It was possible to get 'The Adventure Begins' even if you were blocked from starting the game by not having a Trait or Heirloom selected. The check for the achievement as before the check for the character customisation. This has been corrected. People were not getting the extra skill bonus for the Beloved Locket when sleeping, unless they were also a doctor. This was due to the checks to see if you had the item also included checks to make sure you were a doctor and had the Medical Kits to use. This has been solved, and all sleeping related items/Traits should now work together as expected.
- The TATTERED SAILS have been sighted! - 31 October 2021
IT COMES... The TATTERED SAILS have been sighted on the horizon. Something unearthly moves through the fog like a ponderous colossi. The stars wheel overhead. Portents are bleak. Can YOU stand against it? Plunge into an investigation which sees you journey deep into The Grass Sea in search of treasure, only to find horror and death. This latest case has a lot of subtle pathways which can guide you to AN ending. But will it see the evil vanquished for good, or just sent back for a while? Only your choices can decide the outcome. Happy Halloween!
- The Final In-Game Art Reveal! - 29 October 2021
SOON. As always we end the general art page reveals with the death page. Hopefully people will see less of this one than in Red Ripper, but you will need to keep your wits about you. The TATTERED SAILS have been sighted on the horizon, and something monstrous is about to arrive... Death by drowning is considered to be one of the worst fates a soul can endure. As only a few religions claim their gods dwell underwater, the spirit of the lost must trudge through the underwater abyss to reach whatever heaven they are due to go to. Those who are barred from heaven must reside on the sea floor amongst the darkness, cold, and pressure for all time.
- In-Game Art Release 5 - 27 October 2021
Hope everyone is having a great week. Here is the penultimate art page for you all to enjoy! Chalk Cove is also known as 'the city of steps'. Even the interiors of the houses are laid out over multiple levels due to the steep incline the port is built into. It is also frequently plague by mists. Some say these are caused by the spirits of drowned sailors, who come back to the city for one last look at their old lives before moving on.
- In-Game Art Release 4 - 25 October 2021
Good morning! Tattered Sails will be coming out this weekend, so as we come into the final countdown we have another art page to share. Please enjoy your first glimpse of the Grass Sea. The whispering stalks of the Grass Sea hold many secrets. Ghost towns and bandit camps, beast lairs and hidden temples. Even with modern supplies the area is hard to navigate, and it is said that barely a third of the region has been fully mapped. Who knows what wonders and horrors could be lurking behind the swaying plants?
- In-Game Art Release 3 - 22 October 2021
For today's art reveal we also have our second shout out in a row to Lovecraft Video Games. They have posted a review of Tattered Sails which you can read here - https://www.lovecraftvideogames.com/delve-into-a-sinister-curse-in-the-hunters-journals-tattered-sails/ I am very glad that they liked this title, and I do hope people take their advice and use it as a means of getting into the series. Don't forget to wishlist your copy today! Below is our last art reveal for the week. I am sure a lot of Red Ripper players would have loved to take several crates of this stuff with them. Recent tales emerging from the Sunlight Alliance of rats the size of houses eating whole villages have led to an increase in sales of poisons like this. A coincidentally rising statistic is the number of Broadsheet Killers who use these substances to commit their vile crimes. Still, no giant rats have been sight…
- In-Game Art Release 2 - 20 October 2021
We're here to brighten up your Wednesday with another piece of stunning art by Muthur Brine. And also to shout out to Lovecraft Video Games. They spotted a bug while reviewing the game, and I was able to upload a fix last night thanks to them. Check out their website (including reviews of all the Hunter's Journals to date) over at https://www.lovecraftvideogames.com/ The box this bitter incense comes in claims it can keep spirits and minor Infernals at bay. Rumour has it that the stuff also dismisses Externals who are exposed to the smoke. The monastery which produces the cones make no such bold claim out loud. But at the same time they also hint that there has never been an External attack where the incense was proven to be burned.
- In-Game Art Release 1 - 18 October 2021
As is Halloween tradition, we celebrate the countdown towards the release of Tattered Sails by revealing a page from the game every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the run up to the big day. The first of these is below. Please enjoy it, and don't forget to wishlist the title! Lamps in the shape of marine life are a common sight on most ships. Sailors believe that by hanging these from the ropes at night the spirits of the drowned who rise up to the deck of the ship will believe they are still underwater. They will then fly on to pester another ship, or sink back beneath the waves. Clerical scholars are uncertain as to the legitimacy of this claim, and the money generated by the sale of votive candles and blessed oil to burn in the lamps keeps them from debating the issue too seriously.
