Hello everyone, As the title suggests, I'm planning to make A Familiar World a free-to-play game instead of a paid one. I should note that Steam asks me to announce this one week before the change goes into effect. The reasoning behind that is understandable. Nobody should buy the game the day before it becomes free to play. It would just make them resentful. At the same time, this was always the plan. A Familiar World would become free-to-play the moment when keeping a price tag on it is no longer worth it. I'm grateful to everyone who bought and enjoyed the game. This has been a fun project to work on besides my main project. See you around :D

As a small apology to everyone who was waiting for a new update, I added a couple of extra puzzles that are sort of out of contention. They don't unlock new scenes, but they feature the girls. I turned some of the promo images I created over the year into puzzles. After that, I added some of the better renders from A Foreign World. I also turned them into puzzles. Again, they don't unlock scenes, but if you can enjoy a good puzzle (and I know there aren't that many people who do), you can now enjoy this game a bit longer. In its final build, we have 101 puzzles. 44 will unlock scenes, and the rest can be enjoyed if the 44 didn't satisfy your thirst for puzzles. - 4 new puzzles - 3 new scenes - 65 new puzzles that can be enjoyed apart from the actual game

This update adds 15 new puzzles, 7 new scenes, about 80 CGs, and 3.000 words of story. Some people have raised the issue of excessive depth of field on puzzle images making the harder difficulties almost impossible. In this update, we removed some of the depth of field. The problem hasn't been resolved completely, but it should be better.
