Halloween has arrived in your email account!
Enjoy the treat of themed visuals. Beware the trick of a horrifying spam email.
The trick & treat are not long for this world. Their lifetime is only 21st October to 4th November. Take a look before it's too late!

Three years ago today, I accomplished something I will be proud of for the rest of my life: I released Dear Agony Aunt <3 While a lot of love and effort went into this project, I am aware that it is a small game. Steam has an absurdly vast stock of games that offer more hours of gameplay than this one can. So, now that Dear Agony Aunt has reached the grand old age of three years old, I've made the decision to reduce the price. The base price in USD has changed: $4.99 -> $3.99 In sterling that is: 4.29 -> 3.39 I am trusting the equivalent prices suggested by Valve for all other currencies. Thank you for sticking around <3 Faye <3x

The Steam Awards 2022 have begun!
This year, Dear Agony Aunt received a major update on its one year anniversary. Every single character in the game had their story edited, expanded or even completely rewritten. And I added a new spam email!
This game will always mean the world to me. Making it and continuing to support it has been a true labour of love, and I hope to carry on pouring love into it and see it grow. After all, what is worth your time more than the things you love?
It would mean an awful lot to me if you would nominate Dear Agony Aunt for the Labor Of Love award <3

Happy Halloween! Wooooo~ Have a spectacular spooooky week!
Just like last year, there will be spooky visuals available exclusively for the duration of Scream Fest. They will be on by default, but you can switch back to the classic theme in the settings menu if you wish.
Haunting Hewie is back! Be sure to read the Halloween spam email while you can :D

At this time, on this day, one year ago, Dear Agony Aunt was released!
Over the past few months, I've been busy working on story updates for every single character in the game. You'll find minor changes for some, substantial edits for others and even a couple of complete rewrites. What are they? It's a mystery! :D
On top of that, there is a permanent new addition to the game: new spam!
For anyone who hasn't yet added Dear Agony Aunt to their library, make the most of the weeklong sale. The game is half price!
I am very excited about this special occasion, as you might be able to tell! Celebrate Dear Agony Aunt's one year anniversary with me by checking out all the new content in the game :)

There is a lot of exciting news to share with you today ^^
On Friday 1st April 2022, Dear Agony Aunt will turn six months old! (Already?!) And of course a half anniversary celebration means a half price sale.
Those of you who already own the game may have noticed that it updated today. Dear Agony Aunt was complete the day it was released, but I've been working on some story updates for you and the first six were added to the game today. These updates are just for fun, to add a little more to the characters' personalities, or to tell you a little more about their lives or their predicaments. The intention with this content update is to enrich what is already there and to allow you to get to know each of the characters even better.
Steam's Simfest event coincides with Dear Agony Aunt's half anniversary celebration. Simfest is all about making hard work fun and giving gamers the chance to try out careers they may otherwise never have the opportunity to experience. I'm thrilled to announce that Dear Agony Aunt is participating in this event!

Happy Halloween! Wooooo~ Have a spectacular spooooky October!
For the duration of Steam's Halloween event, there is new content to check out in Dear Agony Aunt!
The game has new visuals to suit the spooky season. The Halloween theme will be on by default and I hope you'll want to enjoy it while it lasts. However, if you would prefer the classic visuals, you can switch off the Halloween theme in the settings.
There is also a new spam email waiting to be read!
Have fun with the new content!
