Welcome, new souls!

It's now been just over a month since Hauntii's release, and we've been overwhelmed by the sincere love and support we've had from this community. It honestly makes our day every time someone rocks up in our Discord to share their 100% achievement run, so feel free to keep those coming 👻

To mark the occasion, we're matching our launch discount in the Steam Summer Sale - the game is 20% off from now until 11th July.

And that's not all - we've updated the game's original demo with a brand new save data transfer system, which will let new souls try out the demo and then carry over their progress to the full game to explore the rest of Eternia.

For full details please check the Steam demo post in our forum, here. If you've already played Hauntii, we'd love it if you shared the demo with your friends.

If you'd like to join our community to hunt down missing stars, share fan art, or philosophize about the meaning of life, you can join our Discord here.

Now, we'd better get out of here before Sporeo starts taking chunks out of this post...

Lots of love,
Moonloop Games & Firestoke

[h3]Previewing in Beta[/h3]
With most updates, we will keep them in the open beta branch for a day or two before setting it live. If you'd like to get an early preview (and help us identify issues!), you can use the following steps:

1. right click on Hauntii in your library
   
2. click properties
   
3. select Betas
   
4. in the Beta Participation dropdown, choose open_beta
   
5. then close that and allow the game to update
   

Yep you heard right, Steam Cloud is now implemented for Hauntii! You can now seamlessly move between your different PCs and Steam Deck.

One thing to note: we don't support save-on-suspend, so be sure that you don't have Hauntii running on two or more systems at the same time in order to prevent conflicts.
