After long discussions and several stages of voting we decided to change title of the game to better match with what this game is about. So meet \"Olaf and the Crowning Hangover\"! This title is also a bit of a spoiler to what will be in the full version of the game.

Greetings, fellow patrons!

The team here at the development tavern has been brewing up a fresh batch of updates for Olaf the Boozer, all designed to make your hangover slightly more manageable. We\'ve heard your feedback and, with a little help from the Ale Gods, weve made some much-needed quality-of-life improvements.

Heres whats new in this patch:

1. The \"Ale God\" Hint System \"\'Suddenly, these glowing arrows appeared, showing me exactly where I could pull a barrel!\'\"

Just as Olaf was granted a vision, so are you! You\'ll now see glowing arrows indicating which directions a barrel or other object can be pulled from your current position. No more wasting your strength wrestling with scenery when you could be searching for... well, whatever it is you\'re searching for.

2. Dynamic Button Hints \"Wait, was it this button or... oh, who am I kidding, I\'ll just use my shoulder.\"

Olaf can\'t always remember which button does what (can any of us, really?). To help his groggy brain, the UI now displays dynamic button hints for key actions. Best of all, they update automatically whether you\'re using a keyboard or a controller, so you\'ll always know the right input without fumbling.

3. Settings on the Main Menu \"I need to turn the music down before my head splits in two.\"

Sometimes you need to adjust the settings before the adventure begins. We\'ve made the Settings menu directly accessible from the Main Menu, so you can now tweak your audio, video, and control preferences before jumping back into last night\'s haze.

Other Minor Fixes:

• Polished some dwarven grammar in the dialogue.

  [/*]

• Smoothed out barrels movement. We can\'t have any wasted ale!

  [/*]

We hope these changes make Olaf\'s morning-after tribulations a bit smoother for everyone. Your feedback is our strongest brew, so please let us know what you think in the comments or on our Discord!

Until next time, drink responsibly and may all your barrels be easy to pull!

Cheers, The Dev (and a slightly less confused Olaf)

Hey, nice to see you again!

Finally I got a chance to provide updates that will enhance your experience from the demo version, so if you didn't try it yet - now it's a great opportinuty for it!

Most of the reported issues are related to UI, so I did my best to deal with them. To improve reading experience, I recolored UI, so now text has to be easier to read. Also I reworked the way how text is displayed: now it is written word by word instead of char by char and it is supposed to make iteasier to read.


It was difficult to see what button is focused, especially it was confusing on the level complete window. So it is where Olaf himself is going to help us nailing every answer option. Literally. Now you can see Olaf hammering the active button, I found it both cute and useful.


For users with wide screens I added limits on how wide UI can be. Also I fixed level centering, so now levels should not be hiding somewhere. Please, let me know if you think that the dialog box is still too wide.

So give this demo version a try and share your feedback!

Dwarves (at least one), Drunkenness (a lot), & Time-Bending Puzzles - The DEMO is HERE!

Ever woken up with a memory gap the size of a dwarf's appetite for ale? Then you know exactly how Olaf feels! After a night of legendary dwarven revelry, Olaf finds himself facing a hangover of truly epic proportions and a tavern that looks like it hosted a goblin mosh pit.

But fear not, brave puzzle-solver! Now you can step into Olaf's very blurry boots and experience the chaotic beginnings of his adventure in the FREE DEMO of Olaf the Boozer!

What awaits you in the DEMO:

• Taste the Time-Rewinding Twist: Get your hands on the core mechanic of Olaf the Boozer! Every step you take is a step into the past! Repair chaos by moving backwards through time in unique sokoban-style puzzles. It's like untangling a hangover... but with boxes and barrels!
• Explore the First Two Locations: Dive into the pixel-art world and explore the starting areas of Olaf's adventure. Can you make sense of the wreckage of "The Horned Rat" tavern and venture beyond?
• Solve the Initial Puzzles: Challenge your brain (and your sense of direction... backwards!) with a selection of hand-crafted puzzles designed to introduce you to the time-rewinding mechanics and the game's quirky humor.
• Get a Glimpse of the Story: Meet Olaf, get a hint of the hilarious amnesia-driven plot, and encounter the colorful characters who are definitely not happy with Olaf's recent activities.
