Official Statement: Game Release Delay and Apology

Massage With Benefits · published 27 Aug 2026, 15:26 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone,

First of all, I am truly sorry for releasing the game later than the announced date. Since this is my very first game, I admit that I made significant miscalculations with my timeline. I assumed I could finish everything on time without accounting for unexpected issues.

Additionally, right after announcing the release date, my doctor scheduled a minor surgery to treat my chronic nasal congestion. I decided to proceed with the medical treatment, not expecting it to impact my work schedule so heavily. Unfortunately, it completely disrupted my timeline. I sincerely apologize for this delay.

The game is finally ready for you to play now! I hope you all enjoy it, and thank you so much for your continuous support.

Another major reason for the delay is that the full game features far more complex systems than the demo. Being new to game development, I didn't realize until it was almost too late that these systems were deeply interconnected. The game was practically unplayable without proper balancing, and since these were core features, I couldn't simply cut them out. Resolving this took a lot of time and pushed the release back considerably.

Lastly, I apologize for remaining silent and not updating you sooner. Communication isn't my strong suit, and because the game wasn't finished yet, I didn't know how to respond or what to announce when I couldn't provide a guaranteed date. I genuinely wanted to avoid setting another target date only to postpone it again.

I am deeply sorry, and thank you for your understanding.
