A new update for the Shards of the Heart demo is now live!

Over the past few days, I’ve been going back through the game from the beginning and revising a large amount of dialogue and character interactions to better match the tone and direction of the story. A lot of scenes have been rewritten to feel more natural, emotional, and grounded, especially during the earlier parts of the game.

Thank you again to everyone playing the demo, wishlisting the game, and supporting the project while it continues to evolve. It genuinely helps more than you know.

Steam Next Fest begins June 15, and I’m looking forward to continuing work on the game leading up to it.
