- Consequences Update is live! - 25 June 2026
Hi everyone! We've released a new update for In Trusted Hands! Last time, we said we wanted to make choices feel more meaningful and give client stories stronger consequences. This update is a big step in that direction, shaped in many ways by your feedback, reviews, discussions, and bug reports. It brings new endings, an ending gallery, new outcomes for several characters, agency task penalties, and a few improvements to the game’s overall flow. One important note: some of the new content and changes also affect the earlier parts of the game. If you already started playing but haven’t progressed too far, we recommend starting a new run to get the full experience from the beginning. What's new: Added an ending gallery, available from the main menu. Added two new main endings. Added individual endings for some characters. These depend on your choices and actions during the story, and can…

- In Trusted Hands is Out Now! - 7 May 2026
Today’s the day. In Trusted Hands is finally out on Steam! It still feels a little unreal finally saying that. For the past months, our tiny team has been building this small phone repair workshop full of stressed customers, private messages, awkward situations, questionable decisions, and lots of tiny details hidden inside people’s devices. Over the course of development, we poured a huge amount of care into every client, repair, conversation, and story scene in the game. We wanted the experience to feel cozy and personal, while slowly pulling players into messier situations where curiosity, empathy, and profit start colliding with each other. Thank you so much to everyone who supported the game through wishlists, feedback, bug reports, comments, streams, memes, and kind words along the way. We genuinely hope you enjoy your time in the workshop 💛 HGISoft & Spaghetti Cat
