First off, thank you for all your feedback since launch.

We’ve been closely reading your reports, forum threads, reviews, and messages. It’s clear there are more issues than we are comfortable with, and your input helped us quickly identify what needed attention first.
We’re committed to continuously release patches as quickly as possible until Forgotlings is at the level it’s meant to be!

We'd really like for you to play and judge for yourself and continue sharing your favourite moments/aspects.

Thank you, your support means a lot to us as a small indie studio

[p]It really did happen, the game was released! Very surreal, that this thing we worked on for more than five years is finally here. We're proud of it. Warts and all. It's not a perfect game, but we love it, and hope you will come to love it too.
[/p][p]And if you have not seen it, we also have a launch trailer! We are quite fond of this one:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]If you are enjoying the game or have favourite moments, please do share them! We look forward to hearing about your experience. (Forums/Discord/Reddit/Youtube - anywhere!)
More importantly, please leave a review on Steam when you feel ready, as it will help the game's visibility and expose it to more players helping the game succeed in a very difficult market.[/p][p][/p][p]Regarding Issues: We want to make the game as bug free as possible, but as with most indie games, there is only so much our internal QA testers have been able to catch before release. If you find bugs that you want to report, please do not hesitate to reach out to us on [email protected], or if that seems like a hassle, you can join our Discord server and DM our community manager. We are already working on the first patch on the way that should be released later today![/p][p]
Thank you for all the support [/p]

If you asked for a Forgotling key to a console back when supporting the Kickstarter, you can expect to receive the key when the game releases to your chosen console. If you want to exchange your console key to a Steam key, you can write an email to [email protected]😊[/p][p][/p][p]If you have not already played the demo to Forgotlings, to can download it on our store page, and if you have not already wishlisted the game on Steam, we hope you will consider doing so, as is a great way of supporting us. ❤️[/p][p][/p][p]Things are getting exciting!
