The Crown of Leaves
The Crown achievements - we're working on it!
Thank you very much!
The Crown of Leaves - december news
We also paid attention to the negative sides and wishes about the game, and we will certainly pay attenting to it in the future.
Separately, we want to mention the complaint about the shortness of the game. And we are giving you a hint here: in the Crown, there are three routes of playing. Your choices and relationships with characters - good and bad - affect them. Therefore, the entire first episode takes about 5 hours. The whole game, of course, will be several times longer.
And the good news: OSTs from the game will be available as soon as Steam allows us to add them. The same applies to the achievemts :)
Thank you once again for your support!
Important news!
Upon your request, we added Steam Cloud to the game, and now your saves are always with you :)
But there is an unexpected side effect: some users may have problems with the dialogues with one of the characters (Flynn). The game can crash. This only applies to old saves, so if you find an error, we recommend you to update the game or start it over.
We apologize for the inconvenience, it won't happen again!

The Crown of Leaves is now live!
Hello everyone!
Finally, The Crown of Leaves has successfully went through the way from Greenlight to release! Now you can fully experience Roui's story and get to know him better, meet new characters, and also dive into the world of Shang-La and the riddles of the Hill Camp. Explore the environment, meet the hillcampers, collect items and fill up the Mindscape!
We have tried to release several plot routes, and each of them affect the gameplay, but the real consequences of your choices are waiting for you in the next chapter. One of the main routes takes from 1 hour or more of playing time, the second - 3 hours or more. We highly recommend to go through both of the routes to get the full impression and experience the story from all sides.
Alas, we couldn't put everything that we had planned in the first chapter. However, we already have sketches for the next one, and we're going to make everything come to life - and there will be more of the quest part. It is still difficult to say when the second chapter will be released, because first we need to rest, get ourselves together and gather the energy to keep working.
This is our first game. There are only four people on our team, and game dev is a hobby for us, but we have found tremendous support among everyone. Thank you so much for being together for three years! Your advice and moral support helped our project to develop and become better. Special thanks to those who financed us on Patreon, as well as to the direct participants of the development who helped in creating the non-player characters - Vander and Alek (as well as others who will appear later in the game).
Without all of you, Crown would never come to light!
About the Steam Trading cards/achievements
So, many of you asked us about Trading cards on Steam. This is a rather interesting question if you aren't a developer, so we'll reveal some working secrets to you: as we're an indie team that went through Greenlight, we have to wait for Steam to remove the restrictions from our game (Steam calls this "Steam learning about this game"), and this probably depends on the number of reviews or downloads (?). No one really knows how long it can take, it's different for every game and Valve keeps their rules details in secret. But as soon as this happens, we will be happy to add Trading cards to the game. We have already prepared them, drew badges and made 5 beautiful backgrounds for your profile. And about Emojis - we made them, too! ;)
The same applies to the Achievements. So all we can now is wait for Steam to finish its "learning".
SOON
November news!
Hi, guys!
First of all we want to say happy late Halloween to all of you! We even found a time to cheer you up with a small art with Roui and Serban dressed up as Harry Potter and Hedwig.
And secondly - the release is near! We are going to run a closed alpha test on Patreon next week, so we will find and fix all the critical bugs that can interfere the gaming process.
The exact release date will be revealed the next week too.
Fresh news!
Hello everyone!
We are pleased to inform you that the development of the first episode of "The Crown of Leaves" is coming to an end. There is a huge progress since the last time we spoke to you: new backgrounds, new quests, new dialogs, new cutscenes. There are two routs at the moment, and one of them is split into two different routs - each one of them will show you with different characters and circumstances, which will affect the further plot.
We are almost done, and soon we will set up an exact release date. We can only say that we are planning it to the late October or early November.
Answers to the main questions:
Q: Can I buy a game in early access?
A: No.
Q: Will the game be ported to Mac?
A: Maybe!
Q: I want to translate your game into .
A: We have received several letters recently from enthusiasts who want help with translating the game into their native language, and we are eternally grateful to them for that. But for that time we do not want to rush things - we need to finish the work on the English translation first, otherwise, any edits will turn into hellish routine for the translators.
Q: How much the game will cost?
A: ₽ 150 / $ 5 (+half for next episodes)
Q: Will the demo be updated?
A: After the game is released, we will update the demo to the current state.
