- Steam Cloud Save Support Is Now Available - 12 May 2026
Hello everyone,We have noticed that many players who play in internet cafés have experienced save data loss. This happened because the game previously used local save storage only, so switching to a different machine during gameplay could prevent previous save progress from being accessed.To address this issue, we have urgently enabled Steam Cloud Save support.Please note that this feature has not yet undergone large-scale testing, so its stability for the game is still being monitored.If you encounter any new save-related issues after enabling Cloud Saves (whether in an internet café or on a personal device), please join our QQ support group: 1011577973 and contact the group administrator for assistance.We will do our best to help resolve any issues. Thank you for your understanding and support.

- A Letter to Our Players - 17 April 2026
Hello everyone,Tomorrow marks the official release of Scarlet Idol. To be honest, right now we’re feeling more nervous than excited.Scarlet Idol is the first game from our ShanYu Studio. After releasing the demo last October, due to our lack of experience and technical shortcomings, the online co-op experience and optimization were pretty rough. We felt both anxious and guilty. But despite that, many of you didn’t turn away, you gave us so much comfort, encouragement, and support. That’s what helped us get to where we are today. Thank you all so much, and we once again want to apologize for the poor experience during the demo.Enough with the sentimental stuff. Now, let me address the six questions you may care about most, so everyone can make an informed purchase with no doubts left.---1. How’s the Online Co‑op in the Full Version?First of all, we want to sincerely apologize to players…
- 《女吊》延期公告 - 25 March 2026
真的很抱歉，《女吊》要延期上线了我们原定于4月5日和大家见面，现在要延期至4月18日上线。起因是经过三轮小规模的玩家测试，我们发现一个偶发性的但却会影响联机体验的问题。虽然这个问题不易复现且较为罕见，但我们无法说服自己就这样把游戏交到大家手里！作为一个双人游戏，我们深知联机稳定性对玩家来说就是最最最重要的事情。我们充分吸取了去年Demo上线后，联机体验不好的教训。于是舍弃了原本steam平台提供的免费联机方案（该方案我们测试下来，会更适合海外IP玩家），而选择购买了国内云服务节点来提供联机服务。我们就是想尽最大可能，让玩家体验到更好的联机服务。我们纠结了很久，最终决定，还是延期把这个偶发性问题彻底解决再稳稳当当地给大家端上来。真的非常感谢大家一直以来的期待和陪伴，《女吊》是我们工作室的第一款作品，游戏本身确实存在很多因为缺乏经验导致的问题。但demo上线以来，没想到能得到这么多玩家的关注，让我们产生了很强烈的不配得感，我们更加不敢懈怠！恳请大家再给我们13天的时间，我们一定全力以赴，给大家更好的联机体验服务！
