Ogu and the Secret Forest News

Hello! ːoguHeartː

The Steam Autumn Sale has begun, and with it, the Steam Awards voting has also started.
If you enjoyed 'Ogu and the Secret Forest', we’d greatly appreciate your vote for the Steam Awards!



'Ogu and the Secret Forest' first launched in March last year through Steam Early Access. Over the course of 1 year and 4 months, we released regional updates around every 3 months, and the game was officially launched this July. Thanks to your tremendous support and love, we were able to bring this game to life after nearly 3 years of development.







We read all of your Steam reviews every day, carefully looking at what you enjoyed and what you felt could be improved. While 'Ogu and the Secret Forest' may not be a perfect game for everyone, your feedback and reviews will undoubtedly serve as invaluable inspiration for our future development efforts.





Along with the Steam bundle featuring Crypt Custodian, we are also planning to release a Nintendo Switch version next year. We will continue doing our best to bring 'Ogu and the Secret Forest' to as many players as possible.

Thank you!

Hello! ːoguHeartː
We’re excited to announce a bundle with the top-down Metroidvania adventure game, Crypt Custodian!

Both games share the charming feature of adorable characters using unique weapons like a broom and a butterfly net, making for an intriguing combination.

Despite their different themes and gameplay styles, the two games also share many similarities, such as hand-drawn art styles, map exploration, and making friends along the way.

We had a fantastic time playing Crypt Custodian, and if you haven’t tried it yet, we highly recommend taking this opportunity to experience it!

(This bundle is available at a 10% discounted price.) Bundle Info!
