ALL CLEAR?! - Build Update #427

It's been a few weeks since Sometimes Always Monsters released, and this is our 10th update to the game. With the over 80 changes below, we've officially updated over 400 ticket items.

While a truly bugfree game is beyond feasibility, we genuinely feel that your experience playing through Sometimes Always Monsters now will be vastly improved over what you may have seen at launch. This is suggested by a large number of fans in the Community Discord, as well as others on the Steam Forums who have been playing the various updates as they've come.

Both of us are very dedicated to this game, and appreciate the support and passion all the players have exhibited. We've listened carefully to all the feedback and have addressed what we could for now, and made plans for additional content in the future for some desires that need longer to satisfy. We always planned on this game being something you could go through multiple times, and with further updates, we'll be providing even more reasons to replay the journey.

In addition to the list below, we are also releasing our first DLC today for FREE:
