• Japanese now available! + Tokyo Indie Game Summit 2025 - 8 February 2025

  Japanese Language option now available! As always, you can choose your language from the title menu. Thank you very much to everyone who helped make this translation possible! Free Will was inspired by a number of Japanese role-playing games, so this translation means a lot to us. Future plans for translating into other languages The only translations we had in mind were Chinese and Japanese due to the team’s connections and capabilities. However, if you are interested in translating Free Will into another language, please reach out to us. A note about translations for future updates Update announcements going forward will be released in English only. Translation work takes time, and if there are small bugs or fixes that we can address, we want those fixes to go out as soon as possible.

• Streamer Mode is Live! - 27 May 2024

  Version 1.1.0 is now available! Version 1.1.0 primarily brings Streamer Mode, along with a number of bug fixes. To those who have been excited to stream the game but wanted to wait for this update, thank you for your patience! In addition to Streamer Mode, this update will also hide save file information from players. Early on in development, we thought we'd be doing more with the player-editable save files, but this never ended up being the case. Currently, it seems it only causes confusion and has caused some to softlock or screw up the game's sequencing by tampering with it excessively. We apologize for the confusing playthroughs some may have experienced as a result of the old system, and hopefully for those that did experience these sequencing bugs, playing through version 1.1.0 will result in the game's narrative making more sense. Edit: For those who have old save data from Versi…
