Repeated intro

Hello! First and foremost, many thanks to people who bought our game and backed our crowd funding campaign. It has been almost a year since we released Wanda - A Beautiful Apocalypse on Steam. There had been a lot of responses about our game during that time and they gave us critical insights about how we can improve the game. Despite some lukewarm responses from some players, we felt like we failed to bring the game to its full potential. There are several flaws that we overlooked when we first released the game due to our tunnel vision. Our primal goal was to make a game with subtle narrative that tells a story without saying a single word. This obsession blinded us from seeing a greater picture and created a jarring experience with gameplay and immersion for some. Also, the limitation we had with the game engine brought many technical issues, ruining the experience for some players.

addedUpdate : RoadmapThis is where we decided to remake the entire game with a new engine. This is not going to be direct port. We are going to enhance the every aspect of the game, add extra contents, iron out the flaws to create smoother gameplay and greater immersion and over all, better experience for the players. The subtlety of storytelling and storyline itself and Steam achievements will be left untouched. The game will also be released for multiple major platforms; PC, Mac, Linux and Mobile. Those who already own the game on Steam will have a new enhanced version as an update with no extra cost.
addedDrawbacksThe old saves will no longer works on new remake. This is all we like to share for now. Since we are small-time indie developers, it might take a while for this remake to be completed but you have our words that we will make the game worthy of your time.
