SPOOKWARE News

Bring flowers and your occult runes, because you're going on a breathtaking experience! Play through the game that started it all, with Sucker for Love: Prelude, releasing December 15th!

From the store page itself: Sucker for Love is a romantic visual novel with a dark twist. It's said that the heart and brain are often at odds, and SfL puts that to the test. As you woo this otherworldly beauty, try to keep your mind from spiraling into maddening insanity! Recite the incantations for the perfect date and stave off oblivion by:

• Performing dangerous rituals
  
• Keeping your possessive eldritch date happy
  
• Escaping from the horrors you unleash upon yourself
  

Remember: dying once or twice is a small price to pay for a smooch from an eldritch goddess!

SPOOKWARE V1.1 is NOW live on Steam!
We've read your reviews and listened to your feedback!

[h2]ːleftiː Chapter 1 Improvements[/h2]
We've taken the time to spice Chapter 1 up in a big way!
Update 1.1 brings brand new microgames to chapter 1, some of them tying into the story while others are placed in completely arbitrary locations just because we thought it'd be fun to have them there!



We hope you have fun playing them all!
If you're interested in which microgames we added, here's an overview:
Try and stay awake in Classroom 1A Raise the teacher's desk in Classroom 1B Score a BONE run at the baseball field Paint your favorite bones in the Art classroom Find the weak student and grab some milk for them Clear the way in the Library by pushing a trolley

[h2]ːmidiː Painterly Filter[/h2]
Additionally, we're also upgrading the look of SPOOKWARE!
Now the game has a more painted feel to it, blending the hand-drawn characters and the environment together. And well, now we've done that!
Enjoy a smoother SPOOKWARE than ever before with this new visual update!



Hey Psst, Don't worry if this isn't your style. You can always turn it off in the settings!

[h2]ːrightiː Community Items[/h2]
Steam has noticed us and has given us the chance to make community items for SPOOKWARE!
We now have Trading cards, emotes, profile backgrounds, and badges!




[h3]ːmetalsteedː Additional Changes:[/h3]

• Removed text prompts for warping in numerous locations where they felt unnecessary (f.ex. leaving rooms, entering obvious areas)
  
• Shortened some dialogue in Chapter 1 that felt too long.
  
• Updated layout of the Library in Chapter 1 to fit with new microgame.
