For the last few months we’ve:

• Switched to the new version of Power Quest.

• Changed the starting quest of the Third Chapter – it will contain a new location and items.

• Updated the icons for the items in the Third Chapter (and added the new ones).

• Added WASD control (it works perfectly). We are one step closer to making gameplay on a gamepad as comfortable as possible without compromise.

• Updated animations, sounds, scripted scenes and interactions in Chapter 0.

• Added a new puzzle to Chapter Three (the new location, animations, dialogues, items).

• Fixed the scripts for Chapter Three.

DevLog April 2025

Development:
- bug fixing and enchantments for Chapter 3.

A significant milestone: now Leah's diary is fully working, and does so beautifully! It’s time to turn the page!

UI:
- we’ve added a fully renewed diary: the experience of using it is now much better. We’re using a new, more comfortable and logical structure for the entries, added new animations, and new entries appear at the same time Leah opens the Diary.

Development:

- added distortion shader;
- added refraction through transparent objects on the scene (glass, crystals, hot air) (it's just very beautiful);
- added character scaling when exiting/entering scenes (when there is a transition into the depth of the scene);
- added character toning when scaling (aerial perspective simulation);
- after heated discussions, the idea of ​​adding character scaling was canceled, replacing it with hand-drawn animations (takes a little more time, but the result is more beautiful);
- added animations for transitions between locations for Chapter One (perfect!);
- fixed bugs in the diary and made it more diary-like;
- fixed a big problem with positioning and clipping of dialogue text;
- fixed save/load (still a work in progress, but the system has become much more stable);
- improved character pixel alignment;
- added improved location exit (removed character stopping when changing location);
- partially renewed the newspaper (the news is more fresh) and added Leah reading the newspaper animation;
- changed some of the puzzles, so that they are more interesting now.

DEVLOG June 2025

Hello, Foxes!

This month's devlog will be short, because the month was very difficult for us.

Unfortunately, we are still living in war conditions with frequent shelling of our cities by ruzzian rockets and strike drones. You have all seen the terrible photos of destroyed houses in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy.
Fortunately, we are alive and well. Unfortunately, we are exhausted, sleep-deprived, angry.

So! This month we have the following changes.

Development:

- Bug fixes in Chapter Three;,
- New setup for fullscreen effect shaders.,

UI:

- Added handwritten font for the diary (old printed font remains for books);,
- Added kerning pairs for all fonts, which makes the text more harmonious, uniform;,

Improved work with fonts, and in general the work of the diary, so that we can add Leah's sketches in the text to simplify visual navigation.

DEVLOG July 2025

This month we've done a lot of crucial things, even if it doesn't sound like much.

Development:

- Bug fixes and script adjustments for Chapter Three;

- Added fog and smoke to Chapter Three, to the dream of Chapter One and to the deep forest of Chapter Two (we finally implemented what was planned from the very beginning. The atmosphere of Chapter Three has become even more mysterious);

- Added a lot of contextual descriptions for translators, which will greatly simplify the translation of existing and future chapters.

We are getting closer to Chapter Four

DEVLOG August 2025

During August we:

- Done a lot of bugfixing in Chapter 3.
- Trained Creak to behave and interact with Leah better.
- And Beo, too.
- Fixed some sounds in Chapter 3.

(You know there will be one additional location and puzzle in Chapter 3, right?)

- The drops in the Crypt are now pitch perfect and don’t freeze, and Leah doesn’t have to wait to interact with them.
- Added stunning fog to the locations where it was intended.
- Got REALLY CLOSE to Chapter 4 (a few more tweaks and we're there!).

Just wanted to say I bought this game on a whim. I'm not very far into it yet, but I'm already in love with it. It's so reminiscent of the lucas/sierra games of my childhood. Puzzles are challenging but not impossible. There is a lot of subtle humor in it as well. I've chuckled a few times. (Was the fireberry comment a reference to Legend of Kyrandia perchance?). I look forward to playing this more. I wish you the best on your development journey. I know from readiing your posts you are in trying times currently. I don't know if you are religious or not, but either way I will say a prayer for your health and safety. Keep up the good work! And thank you for taking me back to my childhood.

DEVLOG September–November 2025

During these three months we:
• Finished polishing and finalizing the scripts of Chapter 3.
• Added a brand-new side quest to Chapter 3 and tuned interactions to feel more natural and smooth.
• Brought more life to several locations by adding dynamic fog and smoke effects.

Meanwhile in Chapter 4:
• Updated Leah’s base animation set for her new outfit.
• Created roughly 30% of the unique animations for this chapter — and Chapter 4 is turning into the most animation-rich part of the entire game so far!

And what’s next?
• December will be all about wrapping up Leah’s special animations,
• tuning and adjusting Chapter 4 scripts,
• continuing the usual bug-fixing routine,
• and preparing the full text of the chapter for translators (yes — we’re finally getting very close to localizing Chapter 4!).

We’re taking small but confident steps — and steadily getting closer to releasing the renewed game including Chapters 0 and 4.
