Dont call her gossipy or judgmentalMutes just diligent in her job as a security AI who needs to keep on top of everything. Over the centuries, shes been through many different incarnations, as the namesake of Mute Security Systems fulfills her job title of Keeping the Mugunghwa Safe Since 2390, but this version of her is the cutest yet as she performs an all new mission: keeping watch over your own desk. Is it also the softest and most huggable version of her yet? Well youll never find out, okay? Shed never want that! Shes never secretly longed for that even a little bit! Don't even think about it! ...well, maybe it would be okay if you gave her just a little bit of a squeeze.

You can preorder her here right now!

I've been looking forward to announcing this for so long, we actually designed her around the same time as the *Hyun-ae plushie, but of COURSE I needed to have her be accompanied by everyone's favourite little hater from Analogue: A Hate Story. She was also made in collaboration with Makeship and it took a lot of work to make sure we translated her complex design faithfully, including her headdress, but my rule has always been that I don't want to ever see merch that I wouldn't want to own myselfso I'm really happy we were able to get it right.

The way Makeship works is that they take crowdfunded preorders and only make that many, and they'll need to get 200 orders to make it happen. It'll cost $29.99 and orders will be open until February 25.

(Thanks again for all your support... we just passed the 12th anniversary of the game's release a couple weeks ago, and I'm deeply grateful that the story of the characters Raide and I made together twelve years ago has touched so many people. Even if *Mute would scoff at me for being so sentimental. Christine)

In the year 4989, *Hyun-ae finally escaped from the wreck of the Mugunghwa in the care of her dear space investigator. Now she's ready to make the jump from the starship computer desktop to your own actual IRL desktop, thanks to her brand new cyborg body with super-advanced huggable "plushie" technology to help as your sidekick in whatever new investigations come your way... or to watch carefully over any cakes you end up baking.

You can preorder her here right now!

I'm really excited about this one! In collaboration with Makeship, we're making a super cute plushie version of *Hyun-ae from Analogue: A Hate Story. My personal rule with merch has always been "I wouldn't ever sell something I wouldn't be excited to have myself," so we worked closely together to make sure she looked perfect. I'm really happy with how she's turned out!

The way Makeship works is that they take crowdfunded preorders and only make that many, and they'll need to get 200 orders to make it happen. It'll cost $29.99 and orders will be open until September 23.

(If this one does well... maybe we'll see if we can recover any other AIs from the Mugunghwa too. And by the way, thank you so much for your continued supportwe made Analogue: A Hate Story over 11 years ago, but I wouldn't be where I am today without it, so it's very dear to me, and I'm deeply grateful for everyone who's played it over the years! It truly means the world to me.)
