| Dreamfall Chapters is now on Discord! | 2025-02-14 | Long time, no see! But we missed you and actually have a small community update for Dreamfall Chapters… *Pretend there’s a drumroll sound here* Our Discord has been updated to include Dreamfall Chapters (along with our other older games)! This means there’s finally a place to discuss the fate of April Ryan or share fan art of Wonkers. We’re still working hard to create games we think you’d enjoy, and Discord is one of the best places to keep up to date. There will also be some exclusive giveaways for our old merch in the future, but you probably don’t care about that. Free merch… Given away for free… People tend to not like that kind of stuff |

What you ALSO may not know is that our new game Draugen is out and 10% off through the end of the Su |
| From Russia with Love: Version 5.7.6 patch notes | 2018-09-20 | UPDATE: Due to miscommunication on our behalf, we neglected to fix a bug that affects the Russian language version of the game. This bug blocks progress when playing with Russian subtitles. The only workaround right now is to switch to English or another language. We are currently working on a fix and expect to patch very soon. This one's been on the beta branch for a while, but we're finally bringing the long-awaited Russian translation (subtitles only) to the main branch! Version 5.7.6 also brings with it a few other fixes: Russian localisation, created by a group of dedicated fans (see below) Fixed occlusion bugs in Northlands forest Added |

| REDUX is on its way! | 2016-06-17 | Just a brief update on today's launch of Book Five: The final version has been uploaded to Steam (yay!) and the testers will have to do one final run-through of the episode to check that nothing has gone wrong in the build-and-upload process. This usually doesn't take too long, so we hope to have the Windows PC version live within a couple of hours. Mac and Linux will follow shortly after. When it comes to German and French subtitles, the localisation teams are still working on these, but they will be patched as soon as they're ready — hopefully next week. We'll keep you updated.
