The Necesse Graphics Update releases on August 10th!

Hey everyone!

I am happy to finally announce that the long awaited Graphics Update is releasing on August 10th!
Mark the date and message your friends, because it will feel like a completely new game! :D

1 year ago I started to expand Fair Games which included hiring two awesome artists that could take the overall look of Necesse to the next level. After having redrawn over 3298 original assets, we’re finally ready to share our hard work with you.

Shoutout to our artists Bo & Oliver and of course the rest of the Fair Games team. It’s been a crazy year, and we’re just getting started.

We've made a brand new trailer showcasing the new art and announcement in full action. Check it out at the bottom of this post :D

If you haven't noticed, a few months ago we started to be more active on our social media channels, posting teasers and interacting with you! We will be posting more teasers in the days up to the 10th:

X/Twitter: @NecesseGame
Reddit: /r/Necesse
Youtube: @Necesse

Thanks! The team and I have never been this excited for an update!

Necesse Original Soundtrack now available!

Hey everyone!

Some of you have been asking for the Necesse OST. I am happy to say it is now available on Steam and on a 20% launch discount for those who want to get it or just show a bit of extra support.
As the game gets more tracks, they will of course be added to the OST as well.

I'll get back to working on the graphics update. We'll tease more of it soon and we're super excited to get it out. So stay tuned! :)

Have a great weekend!

Sale and upcoming price changes

Hey everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the update!

Necesse is currently on sale at 33% off. Necesse has grown a ton since its early access release. Not only in content and features, but also from just myself working on it to now a full team. We're closing in on the complete graphics overhaul update which will be the next update. More on that soon :)

We wanted to give everyone a heads up that after this sale, in 2 days, the price of the game will be increased to 14.99$ USD (with other currencies increasing proportionally). If you or your friends have been holding off on getting the game and want to get it at the current price, now would be the time to do so.

Thank you for the support! We're excited to bring you more updates :)
