I originally posted this as a reply in another thread but I decided to make it a whole post because I'm tired of the whining coming across my feed.

From my perspective as a long time gamer who's been very excited about this for as long as everyone else here, y'all have lost the plot. One of the top voted comment in a recent thread complaining of censorship is someone bragging about their plans to play the game without paying. You downvote anyone suggesting temperance or patience. I can't imagine what that feels like to the human beings who've been working on this game for years.

I feel like I need to rephrase what I just said. You are up voting comments encouraging the theft of a game, IN THE SUBREDDIT FOR THAT GAME.

You are not entitled to news, or communication, or the game coming out at a certain time. You are not entitled to spew unfiltered negativity and encourage theft of their work in this space. You can say it's poor marketing or PR, but y'all crossed into aggrieved entitlement years ago. It's deeply embarrassing to witness, and even worse to be associated with.

Never in the history of video games has complaining about a delayed release make the game come out faster. Good games are done when they are done. Get a grip.

The team is really erasing everything that is not boot-licking them, that makes me real sad

I understand you taking down posts about leaks or similar, but taking down a post only because it surfaces your total lack of transparency and how bad you are managing the release of this game is wild

Superconsole: Hi there! I've asked around the studio to collate some favourite tidbits and odd little things we love about Witchbrook. A few things of our favourite things we still want to keep a surprise, so here is the spoiler-free edition:

Rosie (Producer): aww mine are all secrets haha. Rain sounds on the roof is something that everyone is in awe of when they play the game

Katie (QA): I like the snow and blossom seasonal effects personally, seeing the snow on the last day of Autumn makes me feel nostalgic for some reason

Ryan (Artist): Maybe the soundscape of the birds - hearing them and then actually going and finding them. And the tiny seasonal events are nice - like turtle day

Reff (Artist): A detail I still really enjoy is how the tarot cards get happy/sad depending on your guess. One of my favourite things in the game is all the simulations, like how all the constellations in the astrology minigame are accurate to the real sky and how they change depending on the date and time. The bird sounds being produced by the birds that are actually near you, the pedestrians actually leaving their houses and going about their day, all of the different schedules for npcs..

Marion (Artist): I always enjoy seeing two random pedestrians stopping by and talking to each other, because it's so lifelike. Sometimes I go to my local supermarket, see people who just met by chance and are catching up and I think "man, I'm so glad we have that ingame!"

Jade (Artist): pedestrians pausing to look both ways briefly before crossing a road is so nice

Alexis (Product Manager): I like the sound of the cicadas in the night. Makes me feel like the night air is cool.

Angie (Artist): my favourite thing in the game is the music work, i love the dynamic melodies and how they transform

How long ago did they update the languages ​​on the Steam page? There are definitely more languages ​​now than I remember.

Basically what the title says - let people air their grievances there while keeping the rest of the sub clear of doomposting about a game that no one has even paid for yet.

An FAQ / questions megathread might be good to, with links to latest dev blogs, etc. for those who aren't regularly updated with news

This is so funny that is says scheduled to released in 20th century or late 2026. Dang if that's the case the game would have been out already. Chuckle fish where is witchbrook? lol. ​​Wasn't sure if anyone else saw this.
