- 2 Year Anniversary Update with EVEN MORE New Cards! - 22 August 2026
Hello everyone! I can't believe Recesses is 2 years old already. It feels like just yesterday that it came out, and I was expecting 2 negative reviews and tumbleweeds. But thanks to all of you who gave it a chance, and left great comments and reviews, it's reached more people than I ever thought possible. So thank you! As a small recognition of the 2 year anniversary, I've added 4 brand new cards to the game, and buffed a few existing cards. If you want a breakdown of the updates, then read on. To confirm you're playing on the latest Version 1.3 (or higher), open Recesses and go to Game Options and check the upper left corner. If it's a lower version, just restart Steam and it should update automatically. NEW CARDS These four new cards each aim to fill gaps that I felt were missing, and boost strategies that needed some help. Here's all four of them: https://i.imgur.com/E8mRZjQ.png If y…
- 1.5 Year Anniversary Update with MORE New Cards! - 18 March 2026
Hello everyone! I was planning on releasing an update for the 2 year anniversary five months from now in August, but then I finished it early and decided to release it now... for the 1.5 year anniversary instead. That's just as important a milestone, right?! This update comes with four new cards in the main game, some buffs to old cards, and a few new post-game things. If you want a breakdown of the updates, then read on. To confirm you're playing on the latest Version 1.2 (or higher), open Recesses and go to Game Options and check the upper left corner. If it's a lower version, just restart Steam and it should update automatically. NEW CARDS These four new cards each aim to put cool-but-not-very-strong cards in the spotlight, and boost strategies that needed some help. Here's all four of them: https://i.imgur.com/kHp6doT.png If you want to explore them on your own, go for it! But if yo…
- One Year Anniversary Update With NEW CARDS! - 22 August 2025
Hello everyone! It's been one year since Recesses released, and I'm still amazed by the response you all have given it. Getting to Very Positive on Steam was something I'd never thought possible (I figured I'd get 2 negative ratings and tumbleweeds), so thank you to everyone who has helped it get there! As a small celebration of the one year anniversary, I've prepared a little content update for the game by adding four new cards (plus a few other things). If you want a breakdown of the updates, then read on. And if not... then don't! To confirm you're playing on the latest Version 1.1, go to Game Options and check the upper left corner. If it's a lower version, just restart Steam and it should update automatically. Each of the new cards added in this update is a "captain," with an ability that triggers *inside* of the spaceship. And here's all four of them: https://i.imgur.com/ODKRMAD.p…
- Small Updates for Version 1.07 - 24 November 2024
Hello everyone! It's been a while, but thank you for still taking the time to check out Recesses. The new version 1.07 of the game has made a few small changes: - In battle and in the collection screen, when you can click on a card, the mouse cursor will turn to a finger when hovering over that card, and the card will get a yellow outline. This should hopefully make it easier to see when you can/can't choose certain cards for sending them out, choosing for abilities, etc. - A few fixed graphical mistakes - A few fixed spelling/grammar mistakes in dialogue sections - A few lines of dialogue tweaked for better understanding To confirm you're playing on the latest Version 1.07, go to Game Options and check the upper left corner. If it's a lower version, just restart Steam and it should update automatically. As always if you have suggestions feel free to let me know. Thank you again for pla…
- Updates for Version 1.06 - 18 September 2024
Hello, and thank you for playing my little game Recesses! The new version 1.06 update of the game has a few additions and bug fixes: ADDITIONS - Eight new Steam achievements have been added to the game. - Seven of them are for collecting certain amounts of total cards (100, 256, 500, etc) to give some value to opening dozens and dozens of duplicates. You can also now see your total number of cards opened in the collection screen, at the bottom of the black text box in the upper left. The game checks for achievements whenever you open a booster pack. - The other achievement is Goat. - There is now popup text/sound effect for when you have 8 saved spaceships with all different cards in them - The wording on Metl's ability has changed from "turn" to "transform" and now the cards affected by its "transform" abilities slightly change color too, to make it more clear what's happening. BUG FIX…
- Small Version 1.05 Update - 8 September 2024
Hello, and thank you for taking a chance on Recesses! The new version 1.05 update of the game has a few small requested updates: * You can now toggle skip/show Soup or Nova coinflips in Game Options. If you skip coinflips, then when 2 (or more) abilities happen at the same time, one will just be chosen at random. * You can now adjust the game volume AND toggle skip/show coinflips in the ESC menu during a run. To confirm you're playing on the latest Version 1.05, go to Game Options and check the upper left corner. If it's a lower version, just restart Steam and it should update automatically. As always, I'm looking into the feasibility of a few other quality of life updates to the game. If there's anything you'd like to see added, feel free to post in the Discussion sections. I can't promise that I can put everything in, but I can at least check it out. Thank you again for playing! -Sanj…
- Update Notes for Version 1.04 - 4 September 2024
Hello, and thank you for checking out Recesses! Apologies for this being the third update in a little over a week since release, but I appreciate everyone letting me know bugs they run into while playing. I've tried to patch them up as quickly as I can. The new version 1.04 brings with it these changes: * Card images have been added during dialogue sections when characters talk about certain cards, so that you can see them then and there. * You can now press "T" again to toggle OFF auto-skip after it's been enabled. * Booster packs now hide in the collection when you're filtering the cards (except when filtering by default/new), making seeing cards easier when you have a lot of booster packs. * Fixed a bug where strength/weakness calculation would be incorrect if the enemy Battalien has a strength AND weakness to your type AND a power limit too * Fixed a bug where clicking Suggest Ship…
- Version 1.03 Update - 2 September 2024
Hello, and thank you for taking a chance on my game Recesses! Since release day a week ago, a lot of players have reported game crashes when using the "T" ("thkip") auto-skip feature during dialogue sections of the game. In order to fix that, I've updated the visual novel plugin I'm using (Dialogic) to the latest version, which should hopefully take care of that. Updating Dialogic brought with it a bunch more bugs that I had to fix. I've patched them up as I found them while playing, but I'm just one dev, so if you have any new issues or if the auto-skip crash persists for you, please let me know and I will do my best to fix them. To confirm you're playing on the latest Version 1.03, you can go to Game Options and check the upper left corner. If it's a lower version, just restart Steam and it should update automatically. Along with that update, Version 1.03 has a few other small changes…
- Hotfix for Version 1.02 - 28 August 2024
Hello! Thank you all for playing Recesses. It's been a lot of fun hearing about your experiences with it :) I've heard from some players that the game crashed during dialogue sections while they were holding down Space/Enter to progress the text. I'm not exactly sure what was causing that crash, but until it's fixed, I've updated the game to not progress the text as fast in dialogue sections when holding down Space/Enter. In my testing, this has prevented crashes, but please let me know if they continue for you. You can make sure you're playing Version 1.02 by going into Game Options and checking the upper left. Just restart Steam to update it if you need to. And if you want to progress through the dialogue section text quickly, you can still press the "T" key ("T" for "Thkip!") which in my testing does not cause crashes. Apologies for any inconveniences, and thank you again for taking…
