- 2.1 Update Notes - 18 May 2026
Hello everyone!I'm dropping a quick 2.1 update to both the demo and the full game after seeing some concerns about certain parts of the point and click sections not having confirmations for actions that would prevent people from going backwards. With this update I added several more to both versions of the game to ensure that players won't have to worry about missing anything. My apologies to anyone that was inconvenienced by this, but hopefully this helps. As always, if anyone finds any other issues or such, you're more than welcome to contact me about it.Thank you!

- Demo Data Updated! - 4 October 2025
October 3rd, 2025 UpdateHello everyone!I'm writing this post to mention a valuable update I made to the Demo today. After discussing with other people, and taking feedback from friends who have played the game ages ago into consideration, I've updated the Demo to allow the progress from it to carry over into the full game.Admittedly, I do not know why I was so stubborn to make this change, but I decided to do it today.If you've already played the demo:(First off apologies that this update came after, haha)Second, in the options you can find the Skip Unseen Text option. If you select that you'll be able to skip all the way to the end of the Chapter 1 content (for a reference as to where that ends, the choice menu after the Black Swan heist is a good stopping point).If you enjoyed the game and want to support it, then consider leaving even just a one-sentence review so we can hit that 10…

- Forget Me Not Release Post-Mortem and Plans! - 6 March 2025
Hello hello everyone! It's been two weeks since The Mysterious Thief Forget Me Not released, and I'm quite glad with how well the release went! As of this post Forget Me Not has hit 50 purchases on Steam, and the Demo's been downloaded across both sites over 90 times! For my very first paid release these numbers are very solid, and I have a good feeling that between future sales and any other moments I can promo the game these will continue to go up. Forget Me Not has also received 4 reviews so far on Steam, which I greatly appreciate! As a reminder, once we hit 10 reviews Steam will give it an official rating and boost its publicity to more people, so if you played the game and really liked it, be sure to drop even a quick sentence or two to help share it to more people! On that note, I do want to talk about my plans for Forget Me Not from here on out. There will be some small updates…
