Greetings Investigator,

Next Fest is upon us, and I'd like to welcome you to the hallowed halls of Highrook Manor. You will be managing your team of intrepid investigators to uncover what happened to the Ackeron family.

Highrook has been a labour of love for me. It's a game that I've always wanted to make and I'm enjoying each layer of polish that I've been adding over these past few months especially. We most recently ran a playtest in December, and I was able to add a whole bunch of recommendations from the community, so huge thank you to everyone who took part!

For those of you who have played previous demos, there's some new things you might like to see!

  • New Board Design - The Board of Highrook has been overhauled with unique art. I'm really chuffed with how it looks
  • New Visual Effects - Atmospheric events and transformations
  • Dialogue and text overhaul - Less spelling mistakes (I hope)
  • Tutorial Improvements - Made some tweaks to the tutorial to help with some onboarding!
  • Quality of Life Improvements - Better guidance, UX and tips

If you have any feedback, drop a comment in the Steam Forums or you can join other investigators in the Highrook Discord.

I hope you enjoy the demo and thanks very much for playing!

Tom
