  • A Word From the Dev

It has been 3 years since Love, Sam launched as my small passion project. Before taking a bigger step as a game developer, I have decided to give my first born a better care that it deserves.

The Rewrite update is more of a 'remake' than an update. It is a complete renewal aimed at making Love, Sam feel like a polished game with a more fluid gameplay and intense reading experience.

  • Update Details

Gameplay Overhaul
The overall gameplay has been upgraded with new and improved puzzles and scares, giving new players better immersion and chills, even to those who played the original version.

Enhanced Visuals
Your room feels more authentic, the diary looks better, and the things that scare you looks much scarier.

Text Revise
Some reading materials have been revised and edited to sync with the gameplay changes while making the reading experience more interesting.

Text Translation (Coming Soon)
I am planning to translate all in-game texts to multiple languages (currently, only English is available). Due to my lack of knowledge, the original version was not suitable for easy localization, but the Rewrite version makes it much easier to incorporate translated texts. However, the texts still need to be translated so please be patient in the mean time.

  • How To Play The Legacy Version

Those who want to play the original version of Love, Sam can always go to the Beta tab and choose 'legacyversion'. To access Beta tab, right click 'Love, Sam' from your Library and select 'Properties'.

  • Price Change Notice

After 2022 Steam Scream Fest, there will be a sllllight price increase on Love, Sam. However, there is a 10% sale on current price that lasts throughout the Halloween event, so hurry up and bag a copy now!

With a Rewrite, Anything Can Get Better.

Game crash issues.

There has been a number of cases of the game shutting down for no apparent reason. Currently an overall improvement of Love, Sam is in progress, which is expected to take some time before it is finished. Hopefully the update will fix this problem upon released.

Hi, everyone!

A small bug fix and a difficulty patch have been released on this update.

-Fixed an issue that, during the "heart drawing" sequence, reset the line for no reason.
-Lowered the difficulty of the "hallway" sequence. Now it will be easier to figure out what to do.

Thanks.

Hi, everyone!

Added controller support! However, it is not in a perfect state, and since Love, Sam is designed to be played with keyboard and mouse, it is still recommended to use a game pad only when you have no other choice. Below is a quick button guide.

-'Bottom Face Button' or 'Right Trigger' = 'Mouse Left Click' (Interact, Pick Up, etc)
-'Right Face Button' or 'Left Trigger' =Mouse Right Click' (Get Up From Chair, Put Down Item, etc)

Also, I am currently working on several issues regarding puzzle difficulty, and need your help. Love, Sam is a story driven game, so it is important to maintain a certain flow during gameplay. If you've experienced anything during the puzzle sections that hinders this experience, please describe them freely by commenting on this announcement or using the Steam Community Hub.

Thank you.
