Are you a completionist?
Missing only a couple of DLCs from your collection? The Super Supporter bundle lets you complete it and save a few bucks! Despite the bundle showing a lower discount (which, according to Steam support, is... as intended? ːsotawhatː Something about additive vs multiplicative percentages. I am not a math person ːsotablushː) the 15% bundle discount stacks with the special festival discount.

Hotfix 12
Today's patch includes the following:
- Introduced an additional failsafe to the map about Sylas' group. This should prevent future softlocks and should also work on 'stuck' savefiles. A massive thank you to the user who sent me their bugged savefiles!
- Fixed a continuity error about the siren's possible demise;
- Fixed the metadata of a voiceline in Sylas's rooftop conversation;
Thank you for playing!
Hotfix 11
Today's hotfix brings the following changes:
- Added a forced wait to the first map sequence in the chapter about Sylas's group;
- Added a failsafe to the second map sequence in the same chapter;
These fixes should prevent softlocks when the map opens, but it's empty / devoid of clickable icons.
Have a great day & enjoy the Spring Sales ːsotawinkː

A storyteller's dream ✨
The lorebook and short story collection are now available!
To celebrate the Storyteller's Festival, the last two DLCs of the game have released! These are 100% optional, and are a great way to show your support and get something nice in return.
Keep in mind that all DLCs include massive spoilers, so it's recommended to complete the game at least once before diving into them!

The lorebook includes all the lore of Sigh of the Abyss collected in a single .pdf! You'll find chronologically ordered codex entries with development notes.

But wait, there's more!
If you want to complete your DLC collection while saving a bit of cash, have a look at the bundle!
I have no idea why it says the discount is only 2% when it's 15% ːsotawhatː the math on the widget is wrong, but the numbers become correct when opening the bundle details. Hopefully this is a UI mistake that will solve itself in the next hours; I have already contacted Steam's support about it ːsotablushː
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/50563/Sigh_of_the_Abyss_Super_Supporter/
You will pay for just the items in the bundle that you don't already have. The launch discount of the new DLCs also stacks with the bundle discount ːsotawinkː

The Storyteller's Festival is a celebration of the art of storytelling, featuring a wide range of visual novels and narrative games that showcase the best in interactive fiction. From heart-wrenching dramas to light-hearted romances, this festival has something for everyone ːsotasmugː

The game's OST is available for streaming 🎵
I'm thrilled to announce that the original soundtrack of Sigh of the Abyss is now available on most streaming services! Enjoy it on Spotify, YouTube Music and more!
The OST's composer, Edwin Dizer (who also lent his voice to Alpheon in his song), will be doing write ups about the various tracks on his Instagram & X/Twitter, so make sure to leave him a follow! He is incredibly talented and has been amazing to work with—if you enjoyed the OST, let him know ːsotawinkː

Small guidebook update
Today's small patch targeted an error in the guidebook.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3348320/Sigh_of_the_Abyss__Guidebook/
The requirements for the 'Struck from the records' achievement were incomplete and have been updated.
The requirements to lynch the Patron Lord in Santanna have also been updated.
Additionally, the achievement guide was a bit hard to read, so it received a small revamp that should hopefully make it easier on the eyes ːsotaloveː
How to access the DLC
From the Steam library, right-click the game and select Manage > Browse local files.
A PDF reader is required to open the guidebook!
Thank you for playing! ːcharmwitchː
