Hello everyone ːsotawinkː

Today's patch fixes a rare softlock that would happen during the festival, if you learned a shadow magick skill from Nessa and later joined the duel.

Thank you for playing ːsweetelfː

Anniversary patch

[p]Hello there ːsotaloveː[/p][p]Today's tiny patch originally only included a new batch of backer names, and was planned for the 1-year anniversary of the game; given the freshly discovered Unity vulnerability, I decided to push it earlier.[/p][p]Here's a list of the changes:[/p]
  • [p]A new batch of backer names has been added to the credits;[/p]
  • [p]The editor has been updated to include a fix for the Unity vulnerability discovered earlier today;[/p]
[p][/p][h3]New game?[/h3][p]Did you see I'm working on something new? You can read more about my new game in this announcement![/p][p][/p][h3]Even more Sigh of the Abyss[/h3][p]If you crave more Sigh of the Abyss, consider checking out the DLCs!
They are on discount until October 6th ːsotawinkː[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]That's it from me![/p][p]Thank you for playing ːsotaloveː[/p]

Fall in Love beyond Sigh of the Abyss

[p]Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to announce that Sigh of the Abyss has joined the Fall in Love festival![/p][p][/p][p]Starting September 24th, get your heart throbbing with discounts, streams and demos ːsotawinkː[/p]
[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Beyond Sigh of the Abyss
[p]I have been working on a new game—codename 𐌚𐌖𐌋𐌂𐌖𐌓![/p][p][/p][p]Set in 299 BC, as Roman armies provoke the Etruscans into war by razing their countryside, the game puts you in the shoes of a merchant (literally) struck by fate.
Chosen by the gods to save her people, Thanchvil must embark on a journey that will end with the corpse of her lover falling from her arms. Or will it…?[/p][p]Here's a sneak peek of the two love interests:[/p][p][/p][p]One can't conceal her monstrous features, while the other can't hide his monstrous heart.
What do you think of them so far?[/p][p][/p][p]𐌚𐌖𐌋𐌂𐌖𐌓 is quite different from Sigh of the Abyss—I wanted to create something more focused, intense and (hopefully) with full voice acting. A Steam page will be available soon, but if you can't wait to learn more about the project, sign up to my newsletter! I share information about 𐌚𐌖𐌋𐌂𐌖𐌓 every other month.[/p][p][/p][p]You can also find me on Bluesky, where I will be gushing about some of the other amazing games that joined the festival ːsotaloveː[/p]

Hotfix 13

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p]Today's hotfix brings the following change:[/p]

  • [p]The guidebook has been updated to accurately reflect the additional requirements of the Struck from the records achievement;[/p]
  • [p]The annotated version of the artbook has been updated with some typo corrections;[/p]
  • [p]Added another failsafe to the map section about Sylas' posse;[/p]
  • [p]NEW - fixed some continuity issues in the festival and dance chapters;[/p]
[p]Thank you for playing ːsotaloveː[/p][p][/p]

Missing only a couple of DLCs from your collection? The Super Supporter bundle lets you complete it and save a few bucks!
