Black Closet

Yuri Bundle Discount

We recently created a bundle discount option for our two lesbian-themed games, to make it easier to get one if you already own the other.

Any future yuri-only titles we release will hopefully be added to the same pack. Enjoy!

(This was announced earlier on the other game but hadn't been posted to people only following Black Closet before, so.)

Minor stability update (June 2016)

Patch 1.2.39 has been moved to stable - for details on this and other patches please check the changelog thread here:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/400580/discussions/0/361787186421906510/

No new content, just fixing some crashes.

Feature Update (May 2016)

A new patch has been pushed out with a handful of changes.

The menu should now make it more obvious that "Save and Quit" is an option, if you need to save mid-week.

A bug preventing the scene where Althea pulls out of the council has been corrected. The scene has also been updated so that you can make her return skill-training points that have been spent on her, and adds a hint that you should be focusing your training on your most loyal minions.

Some minor crash bugs have been fixed.

More detail on the most recent update can be found in this thread:

Please use that thread to report any problems.

Small update - New Case Type (Apr 2016)

http://steamcommunity.com/app/400580/discussions/0/487877107135419614/

If you encounter any problems, please post in that thread for easier tracking.

Small patch - 1.2.26

The features previously in beta have now gone stable. This includes a few crash fixes and some subtle feedback improvements (for example, hardened criminals returning from suspension will indicate that you have no choice but to expel them, and some minions who do not want to be your Queen will now hint that and give you a chance to change your mind)

If you encounter any problems please report them on the forums:

A new beta version with new content and random-student art for graphics set 2 will be coming shortly, stay tuned for further announcements.

1.2.16 update in beta

A handful of stability fixes and a change to one case to make it easier to solve are currently available on the beta branch.

We're also trying to get CG unlocks to sync properly across the cloud. If you're playing the game in multiple locations, please let us know if the new version is working better for you.

To access the beta:
Right-click on the game in your steam library and select Properties. That should bring up a box with various options tabs, one of which says 'Betas'. On that tab, you'll see a dropdown with a list of options you can choose from - select "beta" and it should patch up to the new test content.
