addedThis update unlocks the third level of the mansion, introducing a brand new ghost girl: Jane! If you’ve finished Lydia’s level and claimed her key, you can head back to the foyer and open the third door to begin your next eerie romance. Jane’s level comes with new puzzles, new scares, and a fresh slice of tragic backstory for you to uncover.
addedWhat if you don't have a save file with Lydia's Key? Well then all you have to do is hold down the numbers 1, 2 and 3 (simultaneously, along the top of your keyboard) while clicking the New Game button on the title screen and the game will start up as if you had just finished Lydia's floor. You can then go to the foyer and use the key to open the next door from there.
addedWe’ve also added a little teaser for the fourth floor (oOoOoh…) plus some extra polish throughout the earlier levels, including balance tweaks, bug fixes, and additional music/sound effects!

As always, thank you so much for playing, testing, and sharing your feedback with us. Early Access players like you are helping shape Soul Mates into something truly special, and we can’t wait to keep building out this haunted house adventure <3

If you happen to run into any spooky issues, please let us know on the Steam forums or via our support email (support@sadpandastudios.com) Otherwise… enjoy meeting Jane. Just remember, some doors are locked for a reason!!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas
