Steam is having their annual Summer Sale, and usually have promotional games surrounding it. This year it's a Cookie Clicker style game where teams fight robots! They are using the Whispering Willows icon as one of the main damage elements in the game! Can you spot it?
PlayStation Announcement- Patch 1.25
Hello spooky soldiers!
We announced this week on our social media channels, that Whispering Willows will be coming out on PlayStation 4 and Vita this summer! We are very excited about this, and hope you'll support us on our new consoles :CatacombSkull:
Well still of course support all versions equally and we’ve continued to fix bugs.
Patch Notes:
<*>We adjusted how the monsters in the garden maze react, so they should snag you multiple times now instead of allowing you to easily just run past them
<*>We made ladders more forgiving to climb, so you don’t have to be quite as close to go up or down them
<*>We fixed several places in the game where text would overflow the dialogue box on certain languages
<*>Fixed bug where the Mac version was continuing to have issues displaying multiple resolutions
Price Change & Bug Fixes- Patch 1.23
Hello spooky soldiers!
Going forward Whispering Willows will be $9.99 with the Deluxe Edition at $14.99! We hope this attractive new price incentivizes many new players!
We have been working the last few weeks fixing lingering bugs and issues to tighten up the game as much as possible. The full change log is below.
Patch Notes:
<*>There is now mouse support on the main menu
<*>Various issues with the Chinese translation has been fixed including missing characters and hard to read font
<*>Translated the space bar in all languages. Previously it read [SPACE] no matter what language you had selected
<*>Cutscene audio can now be adjusted by the SFX tab in settings. Previously it was unaffected by either audio tab
<*>You can change the pages of notes/diary entries by pushing left and right
<*>Elena can now enter buildings while running
<*>Elena can now crawl under designated areas while running
<*>We simplified some stairwells by allowing you to continue holding the direction you were moving, instead of pushing up or down. This doesn't apply for complex stairwells i.e. the one in the entrance of the mansion
<*>Fixed bug where only one resolution would display in Settings
<*>Fixed bug where you couldn't change the graphics quality in Settings
<*>Fixed bug when you exited Credits, the flame cursor disappeared
<*>Fixed bug where if you went through the tutorial and quit the game (after you flipped the switch), you'd be unable to enter the first door once reloaded
<*>Fixed bug where if you hit the run button while going down a ladder, human Elena would float and walk in the air
<*>Fixed bug where if in particular spots if you paused the game, Elena would float upwards
<*>*SPOILER* Fixed bug where evil Martha continued to move towards Elena while the game was paused

In light of these nominations we decided to have a sale and what better time than Halloween! Whispering Willows and the Deluxe Edition are 33%-66% off until November 4th!
Walk Speed Increased- Patch 1.2
We were getting a lot of comments on how players wanted Elena to be faster (and the pace of the game) even after we added running outside, so we increased her walk speed by 50%! This should be a noticeable difference, let us know what you think.
We also fixed quite a few lingering bugs in this build. I hope you enjoy!
Patch Notes:
Increased Elena's walk speed by 50%
Fixed a bug that occurred while holding space and forward- Elena would "stutter walk"
When entering Catacombs, Elena will appear closer to the base of the stairs
Added a glow to when Elena is scared walking, so you can see how close she is to the creatures (especially helpful in the Trophy Room inside the Mansion)
Fixed a bug where you could get multiple Small Keys from the Conservatory
Fixed a bug where in the dream sequences, pushing Q while possessing an object would make Elena disappear (as if the game tried to return to her human body). You'd be forced to quit and start over.
Added Unity logo to intro because we appreciate the things they do for us :CatacombSkull:
