Hello code-breakers! Also as part of patch v1.7, we've updated the game engine from LOVE2D 11.4 to 11.5. Hopefully this will resolve some of the long-standing driver/OS level issues some of our players have experienced due to bugs in LOVE2D 11.4.

Rolling back previous patch to add fixes.

Hello code-breakers! We've replaced the audio library (OpenAL) with an updated version to hopefully solve some of the sound/audio issues reported by our Windows players. The game should also now report any errors when failing to create the device_settings.txt file. This happens when the game is started and no device_settings.txt file is detected.

We're super excited to announce our next game: The Case of the Worst Day Ever! Check out the teaser trailer below! [previewyoutube=QEU76x4-JVI;full][/previewyoutube] It was supposed to be a party, but nobody's celebrating. Peek into the lives of each grumpy family member, collect clues, and cheer everyone up in this cozy fill-in-the-blank mystery. Wishlist now and look out for a demo releasing early next year! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3279410/The_Case_of_the_Worst_Day_Ever/ If you're interested in being a play-tester, please email us at herogameco@tutanota.com

Hello! This patch is for Linux users only. It should fix the no sound issue, but If you continue to have issues with your setup, try the following: Right click on Poems & Codes in your library and select Properties. Click Compatibility and check the box that says "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". Use the dropdown that appears to select "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0". If that doesn't do the trick for you, let us know!
