Latest Steam announcements

• 16.04 Replay and various fixes - 3 August 2026

  Fixing a few issues where some branches were unreachable. "Disable Narrative" setting for folks who want character voices, but not narration. A little replay button in the upper-right for folks who want to listen to VO multiple times (this works even if the original VO was skipped due to settings.)

• Small typo fixes. - 31 May 2026

  Fixing some places where expressions didn't line up as well as we wanted.

• Small typo patch - 17 May 2026

  Just cleaning up a few innocuous text-VO mismatches. Also fixing a bug where sometimes Constantine's outfit would change mid-puzzle.

• 15.19 - 9 May 2026

  Just a few small VO-text mismatches.

• 15.18 Dating fixes and Worldspell achievement - 26 April 2026

  Fixed a bug where the Worldspell's "Match this element:" description appeared in all puzzles. Added an achievement for getting rank 10 in Worldspell practice. Fixed an issue where starting a relationship with Ember in her post-story dates wouldn't "stick" in some contexts. Fixed a bug where you could kiss Miko while not dating her. Updated Purifying Wave's description to correctly say that it converts up to 5 gems.

• 15.17 Worldspell mode! - 21 April 2026

  Once the finale is complete, you can now practice the Worldspell with any of your friends in the practice arena. It is very hard. Miko is very drowsing if you practice with her at night. Various typo corrections.

• Amara is extra-datable now. - 22 March 2026

  Fixed a few minor typos. Changed the vfx for Amara's astral realm to be more performant. Fixed a bug where trying to start dating Amara after her story was complete would sometimes fail.

• Small stability fix - 21 March 2026

  Just a tiny bit of cleanup after the last patch.

• Quick Heron fix - 21 March 2026

  Fixing a bug that could cause players to get stuck at the end of Heron's second chapter.

• Easier to complete all content! - 15 March 2026

  Now when the map populates, if there's at least one character who's story you haven't completed that can progress their story at that time of day, there will be at least one story chapter available. So as you're approaching the finale, no more searching through mini-dates if you're trying to complete the core content. A few small typo fixes. Fixed a bug where sometimes Dawn would not change into her sports clothes when doing sports.

• Version 15.15 - Bug fixes and a new accessibility feature - 6 March 2026

  v 15.15 * Fixed bugs where your choice of vision in Miko's 4th chapter was not accurately reflected in other conversation. * Fixed a bug (finally!) where you would be incorrectly awarded the achievement for dating Typhon if you hooked him up with Lin. * Fixed a spot where in one of Typhon's minidates you could still find the infamous Placeholder Man asset. * New accessibility option: Large Board Size. This increases the size of the puzzle board by 14%.

• Fae sports outfits, new scenes, and bug fixes! - 6 February 2026

  Heron now has content in various chapters where his relationship with Charlie shows up, if one exists. If the stakes of your bet with Typhon were asking about the Remnant, there's a new date with him that does that. Miko's visions in her third chapter now give the player gender preferences for the romance and spice visions. Various minor typo corrections. Constantine and Lila now have sports outfits, wherever it matters in Dawn's story. Fixed a major bug where if you were using a screen reader, the game would sometimes get stuck at the end of a character's story.

• v15.12 A couple fixes, a couple features - 14 December 2025

  There's now a button to hide the UI on reward illustrations so you can see the art without obstructions. Cleaning up the credits a little. Caught a few text-voice mismatches. I think we've fixed a bug that in very rare circumstances would cause the game to not initialize properly, resulting in a weird-looking screen where you'd see very early concept art of Cassie.

• 15.11 Achievement fixes - 8 December 2025

  For reasons I don't understand yet, achievements very rarely don't get all the way to Steam. I'm still looking into the root cause, but for now I'm causing the game to recheck all story-based achievements when you enter the title screen, so it's likely that some of you will get an achievement or three the next time you load the game. Fixing a couple small typos and one visual effect that appeared where it shouldn't.

• "Time Skip" feature now carries over to new saves - 7 December 2025

  v15.10 Fixes to various small typos. Fixed the bug that cause VO to no play correctly in some cases in the scene where Riley unlocks the practice arena. The 'time skip' feature that unlocks after the finale is complete is now an account-level unlock, meaning that it will be on when you start new saves.

• More light clean-up - 3 December 2025

  * Fixing a few typos. * Fixing a situation where Heron could get frisky with you when you're not dating.

• Small typo fixes - 2 December 2025

  Mostly spots where text and VO didn't perfectly match.

• New customization! - 27 November 2025

  By popular request: A new option under Accessibility to turn off the typewriter effect. A new option under Audio to mute flavor VO during puzzles. Also, we changed the shine on the crystals so they'll never create giant flares.

• Small difficulty adjustment - 25 November 2025

  Amara is kicking a few too many butts, so we're dialing down the end-game difficulty across the board.

• Finale bug fix - 24 November 2025

  There was a bug that prevented players from completing the finale on Story mode. That has been fixed in this build.
