[h3]Welcome![/h3]

If you haven’t been following us on Discord recently (be sure to join our Discord), we recently attended Poznań Game Arena 2024, organized in collaboration with the Indie Games Poland Foundation. Huge thanks to them and our fellow exhibitors, especially FolkOrigin, who had a booth next to ours!



Alongside our immersive booth setup, we showcased a new private demo at the event! And guess what... we’ve just released a new update for the public demo on Steam. Now you can try out the new features yourself!

• Level 5 has been completely reworked for the new QTE mechanics.
  
• All levels are now better balanced for gameplay.

Dear telegraphists!
Quick heads up of what's coming to Telegraphist 1920 soon...

• ⚙️ We are in the process of reworking the game from the ground up, which includes implementing several new features...
  
  
• 📰 💬 One such feature is the HQ room (Hub), in which you can freely explore between levels, talk to characters to dive deeper into the lore, read historical archives, and much more...
  
  
• We have something coming up in May - a new public demo - so stay tuned! 👀

We want to pinpoint that we are working on this game part-time (combined with school and work), so you have to forgive our not-so-fast pace of development 🙏

Additionally, we are very grateful for your feedback and how much people are excited about the upcoming release ❤️

Also, if you have questions or suggestions for the game, come join our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/J9rtH5rVun

Godspeed you~!
