Hello dear players!

It may come as a bit of a surprise, but it will make the wait a little shorter: Mika and the Witch's Mountain launches on January 22nd!🎉🎉🎉

This includes all platforms: PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series, and it marks the end of the Early Access period.

The game inspired by Kiki’s Delivery Service was launched on Early Access on Steam and Nintendo Switch last August 21st, and has sold 60,000 copies so far, with a very positive reception from players.

To encourage everyone to join this special event and enjoy the adventures of Mika, the delivery witch, we’ll be hosting a 30% launch discount on Steam.

And what about the promised content still to be added? Don't worry, we haven't forgotten✨ The Zelda-like dungeons are in the final stages of development and will be added shortly after launch.



During these 4 months, the team has taken the opportunity to listen to the community's opinion and developed more content into the game for free. Thank you so much for being part of this!

2 of the 3 Content Patches planned, beyond bug fixing and improving performance, are now available and add:
  • Fishing Minigame.
  • Churro Express racing minigame.
  • Save the Kitten minigame.
  • Pet companion.
  • New languages.
  • New cosmetics.
  • More achievements.




If you want to know more about all this new content, check First Content Patch Update and Second Content Patch Update.

The “Into the Mont Gaun” Third Content Patch, will come in the following weeks, including 3 dungeons to explore the depths of the island where the adventure takes place, with a very similar vibe to the dungeons of The Legend of Zelda games.

This Third Content Patch will be the last one, completing all the content planned for the game before the successful Kickstarter campaign in 2023, and providing around 8 hours of gameplay.

Can’t wait to celebrate this extremely exciting event with you all, see you next week!✨

Second FREE Content Update is now live!

Hello deliverers! How are your flights across the Isle of the Winds going?

We have important news for you, as the Roadmap published at the beginning of the Early Access has suffered a slight modification - but it has an explanation!

We have received many messages from the community suggesting changes and improvements to make the game experience better, but there is one of them that has stood out above all others: the addition of the minimap.

What's going to happen to the planned content?
Nothing bad! Just that now, instead of 2 Content Patches, there will be 3. So in this second Content Patch it will be included:

  • Fishing minigame
  • Minimap
  • New language: Valencian


Take a look to the trailer!

The Third Content Patch will include the Dungeons, and we have to confess that we’re very proud of how their design and development is progressing!

[h3]Minimap[/h3]
Although it has been difficult to find the balance between a clean interface and the addition of a useful minimap, we have succeeded!



You will now have the help of a minimap in the upper right corner of the screen, which you can make a little bigger by pressing the right arrow key.

[h3]Fishing Minigame[/h3]
As you know, old seawolf O'Vel is nostalgic for the days when he sailed the seas, and fish are a nice reminder of those times.



In this minigame you can bring him back the joy by bringing him some of the fish that roam the waters of Mont Gaun, but don't think it will be easy!

We had a lot of fun designing this minigame and creating these little friends, so hope you like it.

[h3]New language: Valencian[/h3]
Like all our previous games, Mika and the Witch's Mountain had to include Valencian among its languages.



We know that very few people will play in this language, but we are very proud of our land and language!

[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]
We have also added some small performance improvements and minor bugs:
  • Improved fire effects
  • Fixed various occlusion artifacts across the island


[h3]Extra: discount to celebrate the Second Content Patch![/h3]
If you haven't yet decided to play Mika and the Witch's Mountain, we have prepared a week's discount for you to get the game and enjoy this experience until the arrival of the latest content patch.

Enjoy!

The end of Early Access is near, which means that you won't have to wait long to enjoy the Third Content Patch.

As always, thank you very much for your support and for helping us to make Mika and the Witch's Mountain a better game.

Fly High!
