Sepia Tears is participating in Steam's Visual Novel Fest!
Great news — Sepia Tears is participating in Steam's Visual Novel Fest! Both of the DLCs will be 50% off for the duration of the event.
You can browse the full event here: https://store.steampowered.com/category/visual_novel
Our next game, Monospaced Lovers, is available now!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1164460/Monospaced_Lovers/
The game is an exploration-driven platformer with a visual novel-esque storyline. Journey through a metafictional, fantasy-filled land and find the truth of your fragile world before it disintegrates.
If you enjoy puzzle-platformers like Fez, or metafictional stories like Undertale, please check it out! There's also a VN-esque romance plot that's woven into the whole adventure, and you can expect some philosophical ramblings about the nature of love, much like what you'd remember from Sepia Tears.
Now, most of the Sepia Tears team has moved on since the early 2010s (most are no longer doing creative work, unfortunately). I was the writer/director of Sepia Tears, and I ended up learning to code and going into gamedev. So, if you enjoyed the story of Sepia Tears, please consider checking out Monospaced Lovers!

LAUNCH: New sprites for every character!
These sprites are used in all three extra chapters, but not in the original story. The original artwork already fits nicely with the CGs and chibi art, and we didn't want to alter that experience.
With this update, we hope that the extra chapters will be more enjoyable.
Thanks again for supporting us, and please look forward to our other works!

See you soon!
More art for Reprise Edition is coming soon!
For those of you who've already read through Reprise Edition, you might remember that there was one thing missing.
Originally, we had to work around the fact that Myra's old sprites couldn't be used, because her hair and ribbon were supposed to change after the original ending. But we didn't have the time or resources to redraw every character from scratch, so we ended up with a mix of old and new sprites. It worked, sorta, but it wasn't ideal.
Anyway — the good news is, the artist for Reprise Edition is currently working on new sprites for the whole cast. Here's what we have so far! ✨
Cute, right? This is just a quick look; there might be changes in the future.
Now, we can't guarantee a release date for this update. I'm knee-deep in our upcoming game, Monospaced Lovers, and the artist has other work to do as well. It won't be ready next week. But rest assured: whenever it is ready, it will be made available for free.
Also, these sprites will probably be used only for the extra chapters in Reprise Edition, to avoid clashing with the CG art in the original game (we won't have time to redraw every CG). We'll make another announcement when the time comes.
Thank you to everyone who supported Reprise Edition. I hope that it provided a heartwarming conclusion to the original story.
Brazilian Portuguese translation - available now!
The localization is available for everyone in today's free update. Open the options menu in the original game or Reprise Edition, and you'll be able to toggle between languages.
Huge thanks to Vignett for the translation!

Sepia Tears: Reprise Edition is now available!
Sepia Tears has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a free VN (long before this was common practice on Steam!). It's been a long journey, but we hope that this story provides a satisfying epilogue for fans of the original game.

Thanks again for your support, and stay tuned for future gamedev updates!

- Remastered soundtrack (with the option to switch back to the original, if desired)
- Handdrawn background art to replace the old stock photos

Thanks for sticking with us through this project! I personally hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
This release will mark the end of Sepia Tears as a franchise, but stay tuned for more gamedev announcements in late 2019/early 2020!
