Hi everyone,
The 17th of February, we released Forgotlings on Steam, which means the game has already been out for a month! It feels like both forever, and yesterday we were all gathered in the office to click on the release button and followed along with the very first streams of the game.
It is no secret that the release of Forgotlings was quite a bumpy ride for us. There were bugs that despite our QA team's best efforts, slipped through and made it into the game. We have been working tirelessly ever since release to make the gaming experience smooth, and our most stable patch happened today, bringing the game to version 1.1.0 as of now.
Forgotlings is on sale on Steam for the Steam Spring Sale (Mar 19th - 26th)! Now is the best time to embark on an epic journey with Fig and his crew. ♥️
Since we released, we are honoured to have received some truly positive reviews by some reviewers, that we wanted to share with you! “Even with a few rough edges that need refinement, Forgotlings shines brightly with a dark, thoughtful, and hopeful story for a more mature audience, character designs reminiscent of Ghibli, spectacular visual art, and solid action and puzzle sections.” (translated)
9/10 – NaviGames “... highlights include its hand-drawn world, strong narrative, and truly phenomenal sound design.” (Translated)
9/10 – 33bits “... when the story kicks into gear and the world unfolds around you, it’s hard not to be swept along for the ride.”
8/10 – Quest Daily
If you have played the game, and have yet to write a review on Steam, we will encourage you to do so, as reviews greatly help us make it in a very difficult market.❤️
Other news is that our soundtrack is also available to buy on Steam! It includes 17 tracks from the game and is also part of the Collector’s Edition of Forgotlings. We will be looking into getting it out on Streaming services, eventually.
A big thank you to everyone who has already played the game. We have been thrilled to see the let’s plays and streams of the game, and reading all of your emails and steam reviews. We are truly happy to know so many of you found meaning in our game, it keeps us going.❤️
Till next time!
