Ext. Demo Ver 2.5 + Kickstarter Date Announcement!


Hello everyone! 

We've heard your feedback and seen your streams/videos of the demo, and it's so gratifying to hear you're all loving the demo and the added voicing. 

We're actually just under three weeks away from the launch of the Of Sense and Soul Kickstarter now, and we couldn't be more excited or terrified! There are lots of preparations still to be made, including making sure the demo is in ship shape. And, well, the 2.5 update is here now, so it's on to the rest of the preparations for me!

Mark your calendars for July 12th or July 13th in your local time zone, because the campaign will start then and there!

Follow our Kickstarter Pre-Launch to be notified when it starts on Wednesday, July 12th at 8:00PM EST

Audio Fixes

The most prominent concern was for audio levelling, which we're now working with our audio engineer to resolve by balancing the full soundtrack itself. 

In the meantime, quick fixes have been made to the tracks which were noticeably louder. The game should sound much better now, and those voiced scenes should come through beautifully even without touching the volume settings on your first playthrough!

If you are redownloading, your save data should be intact, as the existing saves directory will not be affected by redownloading the game. 

Please let us know on Discord or in the comments if you encounter any issues!
