- Autumn Sale - 29 November 2019

- Minor Update (Oct 2017) - 21 October 2017
No major content updates in this build, but some noticeable changes: - The 'Endings List' button on the options menu should now work correctly again and allow you to view what endings you have and haven't seen, and whether or not Callum's route is locked. - The key decision point for starting Callum's route will now be visible even if you have not yet unlocked his route. The choice will appear, but grayed out, and marked 'Locked'. These changes should hopefully make it more clear to new players that the route exists, but can't be reached until another alliance has been completed, rather than leaving them thinking that they're just doing something wrong. - For this edition, we are now bringing forward 'The Confines Of The Crown' to serve as the game's main title. We think this will better position the game to be appreciated by new players. (Also, the title+subtitle was awkwardly long and…

- Small stability patch (Oct 2016) - 22 October 2016
We've altered the way an engine feature works because a few people were having problems with the game menus not loading properly. If you weren't having this bug, you should not see any difference. For more information about the issue, and what to do if you ARE having problems, please visit this forum thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/356530/discussions/0/333656722974254061/

- Engine upgrade (May 2016) - 9 May 2016
The game has been rebuilt to run on a later version of the engine, which should improve performance for some players. As with any large-scale change, it is always possible that unexpected errors might crop up, so if you run into anything that looks strange (misbehaving graphics, text not fitting on the screen, etc) please let us know by posting comments in the forums. (Not here. It's much easier to see them in the discussion forums!) Further details in this post: http://steamcommunity.com/app/356530/discussions/0/357285562492966083/

- Update 1.1.4 (Sept 2015) - 29 September 2015
A small update has been made which alters some wording at the end of Nazagi's route. This is not a major plot update; if you have already completed the route you do not need to play it again.

- If you enjoy political intrigue... - 16 September 2015
Fans of sneaky investigations and backstabbing politics may wish to check our our new title, Black Closet, which just launched on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/400580 You play Elsa, the President of the Student Council at an elite all-girls boarding school. The daughters of the rich and powerful are always up to no good, but they're desperate to protect their reputations, so it falls to you to solve mysteries, prevent crimes, and cover up scandals. You command a squad of minions with different skills and send them on missions to investigate. But be careful - one of them is secretly a traitor! NOTE: this is not really a visual novel, it's more of a social RPG with VN cutscenes. You get to choose everything that Elsa says, so if you like taking control of a character you should still have fun. Also warning - it's not easy being in charge! You're also the biggest target if thing…

- Achievement Unlocked! - 9 April 2015
A small problem that was preventing achievements from showing up for many users should now be fixed.

If you are still having trouble with your achievements, please visit this forum thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/356530/discussions/0/611702631228921960/ Sorry about that!

- New HD Version for 2015 - 4 April 2015
This game has been updated from the 2013 version! The most obvious changes: - Resolution now at 1440x900 - New, better background art Slightly less obvious changes: - Callum's route is now locked on first playthrough and must be unlocked by completing other paths. - Callum's route endings work differently - there's a new Normal end, and some choices that might have led to the Normal end before now lead to a variant on the Happy end. These changes do mean that if you're following an old walkthrough for Callum's route, it may not work. You probably shouldn't notice: - bug fixes, typo cleanup, a few lines of extra dialog here and there
