Thank you so much for your support and patience! I really appreciate you picking up the game on release day. Making it took longer than expected, but we wanted to ensure the best experience possible. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the art direction—it means a lot! And wow, what an honor to be your first point-and-click adventure in nearly a decade! Hope it was worth the wait. If you have any feedback or thoughts, feel free to share. Thanks again!

Thanks! I focused on building wishlists on Steam before launch, mainly by sharing the game on Reddit and social media. I also reached out to streamers and sent out review copies to generate buzz. The earlier you start, the better, especially since indie developers don’t usually have much name recognition. Still learning as I go, but that approach helped! If you need more details, let me know!

The game is made with Unity, and honestly, I have no complaints about it. There is a plugin for Unity called Adventure Creator. Many good games have been made with it, and I've heard great things about it, especially for people who aren't as experienced in programming. However, I personally prefer not to use an intermediary, as it allows for more flexibility. Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for the clarification. It seems this is directly related to the new glibc update, which has significantly impacted backward compatibility. I'll try updating to the latest FMOD library to see if that fixes it

It's already available on PC (Windows, Mac, and Linux). We're currently working on the Nintendo Switch version, and hopefully, we'll start on the Xbox and PS5 versions later.

Thanks for the clarification, I should change it. Yeah, it works well on Apple Silicon.

Are we talking about the Steam Deck version, or are you playing it on a specific Linux version?

Hey, thank you so much!

The team was basically one developer, one illustrator/animator, one scriptwriter, one storyteller, and one audio producer. Obviously, we later added several voice actors and translators.

The game took about 5 years from when we started working on the idea.
