Garenburg Penitence: The Riflebird News

The Experimental Native Linux Build

Trying to get a Linux build working. This may or may not work. We will find out.

You can run the Windows build with Proton on the Steam Deck though without issue, we're trying to figure it out here with Linux...

Another mini patch 1.0.2

  • Fixed typo in the character gallery, where a certain character's "Image Type" would show as "Photograph" instead of "Drawing"
  • Fixed bug in the character gallery, where a certain character's "Image Type" would show well before being unlocked

Small Patch 1.0.1

Small patch, nothing too noteworthy.

Story Mode level balancing:
Act 3.19 - Nerfed all difficulties

File Database adjustments:
File 1.8 - Fixed typo
File 2.18 - Fixed typo
File 4.18 - Fixed typo

Other fixes:
Fixed typo in Unwind tutorial screen
Fixed bug where the Stats screen could go into the negatives on accuracy... by a lot

Garenburg Penitence: The Riflebird has finally released!

Hey everybody! It's finally time! Thank you for your patience, after five years of development it's finally here!

Garenburg Penitence: The Riflebird is now out on Steam!

For any potential newcomers, the game does not require having played any other entry in the series. You can start here just fine!

I hope you all enjoy this game!

Finally, a small roadmap... Other than bug fixes, here is what I'm expecting to do for the game over the coming weeks/months:
  • Massive improvements to the Level Editor and capabilities with it
  • Additional QOL based on feedback and suggestions
  • Bonus levels being added over time, including some based on other games (ex. Charmolypi)


There are additional plans for a short bonus story expansion focusing on some characters who did not get as much screen time in the main game, but that is being planned out and may take a while before it can be added. That said, this is all extra stuff; the game is a full, complete product even without it.

Other than that... Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy the show!

Garenburg Penitence Releases May 30th!

After five years of development, Garenburg Penitence will finally release on May 30th, 2025.

The soundtrack will release at the same time, and the game will be finally available for purchase.

I hope you enjoy what's been in the works for a long time. See you soon!
