Hey everyone. Thanks for spending time at the Bureau. Here's what's new.
More orders to sort through
The regulars came back with a lot of new requests, so the desk should feel fresh again instead of showing you the same piles. Nagisa especially: she brought in a whole batch of seashell orders, sorting by color, by size, by shape. The shells on the banner up top are hers, actually.
City sounds, now actually from Tokyo
We rebuilt the city ambience around real recordings made in Tokyo. The demo starts in late spring and slides into summer by the end, so you can hear the city wake up a little more, and the cicadas come in. It's a small thing, but it's one I wanted to get right.
Steam Next Fest — June 15
We're taking part in Steam Next Fest starting June 15. The demo will be there, and we're planning to update it a few more times during the fest, so it's worth checking back. If you enjoyed your time at the Bureau, leaving a review on the demo page genuinely helps us out, and we read every one of them. (And if you played an earlier build, don't worry, your progress carries over. Saves are compatible.)
We're reading
We go through the forum and your suggestions carefully. A good chunk of what's in the Bureau started with your ideas.
About the cat
The cat somehow ended up being the star of the game. So yes, one day you'll be able to pet him. We've also got a couple more cozy ideas for him that we're saving for later. 🐈
That's it for this one. See you at the fest.
