The Spooky (Mini) Update - Now Available!

The final chapter of the Setting Roots is still being worked on- but in the meantime we still have updates and additions for you all!

In the meantime, we've included patch notes showing off the new additions coming with The Spooky (Mini) Update, the big one being the cool new Halloween-themed content!

While all of this is going on, TinyHat Studios is also running a publisher-wide sale!

Saves are Compatible

Notes and Warnings

• All Albums should have contents restored when loading a save from an older version that is based on the state of your quests and monsters you have. This is not a perfect system, so if there are discrepancies between what you remember possessing, and what you have unlocked, then it should be simple to fix simply by talking with an NPC or breeding your monsters once more.
  
• The new save game manager will now periodically clean your save directory to remain under 900 MB and 900 files. However this will never delete an entire player save slot but instead opt to preserve the latest save file in each slot. If you wish to keep older saves, consider backing up the files manually in a separate directory.
  
• The difficulty slider in the new game menu may have some layering issues. If it does not seem to respond, try clicking it closer to the top or bottom of the slider marker for the time being while we work on this issue.
