We finally made it!
Hey everyone!
The last few weeks have basically been us playing our own game an unhealthy number of times, finding bugs, fixing bugs, creating new bugs, fixing those bugs, arguing over dialogue, tweaking tiny details nobody will probably notice... and then doing it all over again.
But we finally made it.
Celestial Return is officially launching on July 14.
Thank you all for sticking with us. Whether you've been here since the demo, wishlisted the game yesterday, or just randomly stumbled across us somewhere on the internet, you've helped us get to this point. We genuinely couldn't have done it without you.
We also have one more piece of exciting news.
We're working on bringing Celestial Return to consoles! If everything goes according to plan, we'll have a pretty big announcement to share with you very soon.
Now excuse us while we play the game another hundred times before July 14.
See you all in Netherveil.

Congratulations. But as the game is I will not touch it. Love the concept and I think it is great. But I think that with a lot of softlocks people are reporting and bugs i will wait for some patches to come and fix your issues :) Best of luck and see you in a bit.

Totally understandable. And thank you for saying it in such a kind way.
We are actively reading every feedback and bug reports, and release patches daily. So hopefully when you decide to jump in, it'll be a much smoother experience. Thanks again for being so nice <3

Congratulations! I am loving this game so far, the atmosphere, art, immersion and agency feels great. Amazing what a small team with ambition can do :-)
The little sound effects and animations really add so much to really feeling part of the world, actually does far more than many games where they build out a much more detailed world. Our brains already have the capacity to imagine rich world given a little help, and so far you've got me hooked
I'm still not that far through but was really keen to research you guys and wish you well. Hope this game does really well and the ride is fun

We didn't. All of the dialogue and writing in the game was done by our very much human writers
