- Update and New Game Details - 22 July 2026
What's in this update?-Characters now "grey" to indicate that they've taken their turn.-Character portraits have been cleaned up significantly.Aside from bug fixes, this is the final update for the game.I've been hard at work on a new game over the past few years. I posted pixel art for the interior of a cabin in that game nearly three years ago. An official announcement and Steam page will be coming soon, but I thought I'd provide a quick sneak peek of what I've been working on.I hope you'll support my future projects :)Yours,CB

What's in this update? -Fixed a bug preventing the transition to new game plus after completing the game. I've also posted a track list for the game if you're a fan of the game's music. If you've enjoyed the game, take the time to leave a review! It helps more people find the game. The sequel desperately needs one more review to reach a very important visibility milestone! If you haven't checked it out, please consider doing so! Yours, CB

- Update - 27 May 2024
What's in this update? -Increased Eimear's base level and stats -Aoife gains Inspired status when a player character dies -Fixed a bug with Taran's data carrying over in new game plus -Miscellaneous bug fixes Eimear is more immediately useful when recruited. She can now carry players through the series of tougher maps after she joins, especially on Story mode. Aoife now gains Inspired (Mov + 2, Hit + 15, and Avo + 10 for 3 turns) when a player character dies. This allows tense moments where a unit's sacrifice motivates Aoife to escape more quickly or survive a tough encounter. Walk with the Living II is currently on sale! While not ready for a full announcement, my new game is titled Walk with Death, and I've revealed art for two of the game's characters and an enemy in my fancy, new Discord. The Walk with the Living games also have a home there, so I hope you'll join myself and others…
- Update - 17 December 2023
What’s in this update? -Saving during Battle Prep is now possible -Enemies in Chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10 have further reduced stats on Story difficulty -The conditions for Taran’s class are simplified -Miscellaneous bug fixes Taran is a secondary character only available in new game plus in order to provide more options on subsequent playthroughs. If any of Aoife’s stats are 6 higher than their base during her recruitment conversation with Taran at the beginning of Chapter 7, Taran’s class will change accordingly. The conditions of his class work on a priority-based system. For the sake of transparency, here’s how Taran’s class changes based on Aoife’s stats, listed in the order of highest priority: -Aoife’s HP > 25 = Sorcerer -Aoife’s Mag > 9 = Mage -Aoife’s Skl > 11 = Archer -Aoife’s Spd > 13 = Thief -Aoife’s Lck > 9 = Gryphon Scout -Aoife’s Def > 7 = Gryphon Knight -If none of the abov…

Walk with the Living 2 will release in January of 2023. Please check out the store page and wishlist the game! The sequel will be released commercially. Walk with the Living 2 follows seven years after the events of the first game. Several characters make returning appearances, one of whom is shown off in the screenshots on the store page :) The second game features substantially more choices, and those choices often have further-reaching impacts than the first game like completely different chapters, character traits or dynamics that will be referenced throughout the game, increasing/decreasing of support levels, etc. Each chapter averages between two and five of these choices. In addition, the second game presents the perspectives of multiple characters in the story, unlike the narration of the first game which is always from Rowan's perspective.
