Hello everyone! The dev team here with some exciting news... (Static noise and a maniacal laugh)THE JOKER: "Enough with the boring formalities! Do you really think anyone cares about your 'certification process'? Let me speak."... Okay, it seems our "host" wants to break the news himself.THE JOKER: "Exactly! Listen closely, future prisoners of my board: My domains have been packaged, compressed, and sent to the guardians of Steam. Yes, what your developers call 'The Demo for Steam Next Fest' is already on its way for review."This is a major milestone for us. It means that very soon you will hold in your hands...THE JOKER: "...An invitation to your own defeat! I have prepared my best tricks. The cards are marked (metaphorically, of course), the rules are... 'flexible', and I am looking forward to seeing how you try to break my solitude with your ridiculous clicks."In summary:

  1. We have sent the demo build for validation.

  2. If all goes well (and The Joker doesn't delete the source code), we will be ready for the upcoming Steam Next Fest.

  3. You will be able to play Act I, learn the basic mechanics, and, of course, suffer the commentary of your new best friend.


THE JOKER: "Friend? Don't get confused. I am your jailor. But I admit that... I am curious. Will you be capable of entertaining me?"Add Alonitaire to your Wishlist right now. You wouldn't want to keep The Joker waiting when he opens the gates, would you?See you at the festival!(End of transmission)

If you read it, you already know how well he took the news. This time I’d rather tell you myself, although with him around, even ann…Announcement11 Aug 2026I regret to inform you that Alonitaire will be released in September 2026.Ladies and gentlemen. I have been asked to write this announcement. I agreed on one condition: that my objection be recorded in writing. Someone has decided that this is finished. I have not. That something is finished and that it must therefore be released to the public are two different matters, and they have been confused. Alonitaire will be released in September 2026. There. I have said it.…In-game event7 Aug 2026The updated demo is now available. And the Joker has opinions of his own.A new demo of Alonitaire is now available. Same game, same deck, same Joker. What's gone is the friction. During Next Fest I watched people lose to the interface instead of losing to him. So this update is about the things that were getting in the way. He insisted on having his say about each one. 1. Sigils are activated by holding them down. The OK and Cancel buttons are gone. Press a Sigil an…
