[h3]Hello Vigilants![/h3]
First, we want to thank you for all your support during the launch of Vigil: The Longest Night. It’s been an incredible experience for Glass Heart Games and our publisher, Another Indie!

We’ve received encouragement and support from around the globe, but we have also received many bug reports and players facing issues, especially on Nintendo Switch. We have spent the weekend talking with players and the community and are working to fix these issues as quickly as possible. This was our first game, so we are learning a lot and thanks for bearing with us! We are now going to go into more detail on specific issues:


Issues including Placebo quest’s achievement not triggering, items not working correctly, unclear quest guidance, controller issues, and certain skills being too hard to activate will be fixed in the next update. The game’s technical structure means that certain modifications sometimes create other issues, meaning that both our internal and our Publishers QA team need to do a thorough test before the game goes live.


On another note, we’ve discovered that some of our English text hasn’t uploaded correctly, meaning that some item descriptions are unpolished (we are not English speakers), we are going to upload fixes ASAP.


We will keep you updated here and on Steam as we go forward.

Finally, we must thank all you guys again, Glass Heart Games will keep polishing “Vigil: The Longest Night and we can’t wait to share more news with you in the future.
