NEW BETA - STEAM FRONT PAGE - NEW "PRIVATE GAME" FEATURE

Holy moly do we have tons of big news for you today! Let's dive right into it!

New Beta Build - Grace's Final Chapter

With only 5 days to go until launch, we've put together one last Beta Build to let our Beta Tester Tier patrons playtest the game before release! It's still missing a few art assets that we are scrambling to complete, but otherwise features all the new, polished menus we've been previewing and most importantly, Grace's big finale!

Beta Tester Tier patrons can download the build here!

We're on Steam's Front Page!

I nearly bowled out of my chair when I saw Changeling Tale on the front page of Steam! It's a little further down the page now that the Winter Sale is on, but you can find us there near the bottom—in the #1 spot of the "Popular Upcoming Games" list! And that's all thanks to you guys wishlisting and spreading the word about the game!

Speaking of wishlists...

Please consider WISHLISTING Changeling Tale on Steam even if you're getting a game key reward!

Steam spotlights games with growing popularity, which it mostly measures by wishlists. If we get enough, they might feature Changeling Tale in the carousels up above—which would be super cool!

Steam's "Private Game" Feature

Steam FINALLY lets you mark games private so they don't show up in your games list and lead to awkward conversations with your friends! This article explains how to mark games private.

We're letting everyone know about this feature because it may factor into your decision about which game key you want to receive as your reward!

If you change your mind and prefer to receive a Steam key in light of this news, simply fill out the form again with your new preference and we will make sure you receive that type of key on launch day.

Other Updates

In preparation for launch, we've rebuilt the Changeling Tale Demo to include the new polished menus and bring it up to date with all the current features!

We've also updated the Steam soundtrack with over a dozen additional songs, bringing the total tracks to 44! If you've already purchased the Changeling Tale OST on Steam, it should download those new songs automatically. If you're a Sponsor Tier patron or higher, you can also grab the Changeling Tale Soundtrack here—available in a single convenient package at last!

We have the pedal to the metal to finish the last few art pieces for launch, but Grace's final chapter wasn't the only thing we worked on for this release build! This version's change log is one of the longest yet!

Here are a few highlights to look forward to:

🌳 New Navigation Tree with visualized branches and hints for missed alternate paths.

🥚 New Easter Eggs Tracker with a primer and hints for finding those sneaky hidden secrets!

📖 4 new in-game Bairds entries, as well as an improved/diversified Baird's interface

👤 Cast Profiles with Character Bios, Facts Sheets, Sprite Viewers, and select Concept Art

ℹ️ New About Us screen with links to our Website and Discord, as well as Helmet Fox Team Bios

🔎 A super secret hidden scene that unlocks after completing all MacLeod sisters' stories at least once...

🐄 Reduced the difficulty of Marion's minigame (just a little)

And much, much more!

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us and sticking with us through this frantic launch window! Wat and I will continue our toil deep in the art mines—and we can't wait to emerge and celebrate with all of you when Changeling Tale launches on December 27!
