We’re releasing a new build of Hush Hush just in time for the holidays, featuring a few bug fixes as well as an exciting (and slightly experimental) new feature - controller support! Once enabled in your game settings, you’ll be able to wrap yourself in blankets, recline in your comfiest chair, and barely move while you play. It’s the best!
We highly encourage you to grab your Steam Deck or game controller and check it out. We’d love to hear what you think, especially as we continue to polish and perfect this feature.
Don’t forget, Hush Hush is also on sale right now for 15% off! That deal lasts until January 5th, but the ability to play with your controller… lasts forever.
We love you so hard!

Happy Hush Hush Holidays
Hey Panda Peeps!
Wow, there are all kinds of holidays happening right now! Frostmas, Festivus, National Eggnog Day, New Year’s, National Spaghetti Day… The reasons to celebrate just never end!
So let’s come up with one more reason to celebrate. How about a sale? Yes, a sale! That’ll do the trick! From December 22 to January 5, Hush Hush will be 15% off!
We hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season. Have fun and be safe!
We love you so hard,

The Story of Hush Hush
Hey Panda Peeps!
First and foremost, thank you all so much for the incredible love and support you’ve shown for Hush Hush over the past few months. Your feedback has been amazing, and it’s been a joy to hear about the myriad ways this visual novel has delighted you, excited you, surprised you, and most importantly, tugged at your heartstrings.
Just knowing that Hush Hush wrapped you up in its arms and whisked you away from the real world for a while makes us so incredibly happy. But if you’re inclined to show the game a little extra love during this year’s Steam Awards, that would be beyond amazing. All you have to do is go to My Steam Award Nominations and nominate Hush Hush in the “Outstanding Story-Rich Game” category!
Either way, we’re so looking forward to seeing which games get spotlighted during this year's event. It’s sure to be a good one.
We love you so hard,
The Pandas
No November Blues Allowed!
Hey Panda Peeps,
Winter is coming… Assuming you happen to be located on the northern half of the planet, at least. Well, whatever climate you’re in, it’s always summer when you play Hush Hush! So say goodbye to any November-related blues, because from November 22 to 29, you can get Hush Hush and all of its DLC for 20% off. It’s the best kind of Black Friday deal - no “leaving the house” required! Just stay in those pajamas and escape into a brighter, bolder world.
We love you so hard!

Patch Notes for 0.284
Hi everyone,
We're here with another batch of fixes for Hush Hush, hopefully squashing a few of those bugs that have been lingering. Here's what we've been up to this last week:
Fixed a bug that could cause some scenes to not reload properly if you reload them from within that same scene (for example, you're in Mio's first date and then you decide to load a save file that is also in the middle of Mio's first date)
Disabled the save/load button while in the middle of running a job or skill
Fixed the 'Like a Virgin', 'Wreathed in Light' and 'The Shadow's Embrace' in-game achievements
Imported new Lilianna assets for Mio's second date
Fixed a few typos and voiceover issues
Thanks for trying out our early access build of Hush Hush, and please let us know if you run into any bugs! Cheers,
- Sad Panda Programmer

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a great week so far. I'm here with a new build and the latest patch notes, we really hope you enjoy the changes!

Added 3 different difficulty modes, which can be selected after starting a new game. Note: Any existing old saves will assume the hard difficult mode. We've also added 3 new in-game achievements and Steam achievements for these different modes.
Added a prompt before loading a save to avoid any misclicks
Fixed several typos and incorrect audio
Reduced the difficulty of the first week
Fixed a bug that caused the next stat to be awarded by the Cafe to be lost when loading a save, resulting in consistent play throughs

Thanks so much for playing Hush Hush, and please send any bug reports to our support e-mail at support@sadpandastudios.com and we'll do our best to track them down.
Sincerely,
- Sad Panda Programmer

Hello! I'm here to provide some patch notes on what has changed in the game since our initial release version (0.256). The answer is, we've been hard at work! Here's a list of what we've done in game so far:
Fixed multiple issues with the gallery (unlocking or not unlocking when images should have)
Fixed a bug that caused two Steam achievements to not unlock correctly (buff and suave achievements)
Fixed a bug where the effect applied to music/sfx in the settings popup was not resetting properly if the settings popup was closed by opening the gallery
Fixed a bug where an A was awarded instead of an A+ when acing a date
Fixed a bug with Cassie's final date and one option being unavailable
Worked on improving the game memory footprint by unloading unused assets when transitioning to the maps screen
Split assets up to improve loading performance in some cases
Tried to improve loading performance and hangs while loading
Fixed several typos and audio issues
We've got more patches in the works, and we'll likely have a new build for you to try out tomorrow. Thanks so much for playing Hush Hush!
