  Unless OST - Now available!

  Today, we're excited to announce that we have released the official Soundtrack to Unless: As a bonus, the soundtrack includes both looping versions and the non-looping versions of each track. On other platforms, it is possible to donate to support the developer if you enjoyed a free game. Since Steam does not allow this, we've added the soundtrack as "DLC" which matches the price of the original game before it was changed to a free product. Proceeds from sale of this DLC support the developers and Mark Sparling, the composer of the music licensed for Unless. A huge thanks to everyone who supported the original release of the game and all those who are playing the game and sharing your kind reviews now that it is free!

  Unless - Now Free on Steam

  Hello everyone, Gabriel here. It’s been just over a year since the original release of Unless on Steam, and we are incredibly thankful for all the support you’ve shown the game. We hope that, for you, the game has lived up to our goals of creating a joyful and accessible platformer. We’ve been considering the current state of the game, and the relatively small number of players the game has had since launch. With the amount of effort that went into building this game, it is our hope that as many players get to experience it as possible, and so we have decided to remove one more barrier to entry; we have changed Unless to a free game on Steam. No in-game-transactions, just making the game free. We sincerely thank everyone who purchased the game since release, and we hope you will understand why we have made this decision. We would be happy to answer any questions you might have, though please understand, it is not within our capacity to offer refunds on the game. It would have been wonderful if Unless had caught on and achieved sales necessary to support ongoing development of the game, but this did not come to pass. Instead, we hope you look forward to future projects from Bellwood Studios that share the same polish and craftsmanship as Unless; even though they may fall under other genres.With any luck, we may see some new players on the leaderboards and joining our Discord community as a result of this transition. We hope we can count on you to welcome these new players in the same spirit of joy and accessibility. Thank you again!

  New Levels Incoming for Unless!

  As a big thanks to everyone who has supported the game so far, we're excited to announce that we're adding 4 brand-new levels to the first World of Unless! These levels will be exclusive to the full version of the game—they won’t be available in the demo. We’re inviting players to help us test these new levels before release! Here’s how: Alpha Test – First, we’ll run a closed alpha for those who want an early look. Keep in mind these levels will be undecorated, since their layout may change over the course of testing. Public Beta – After the alpha, we’ll open up a public beta so more players can jump in and try them out. Want to join the Alpha? If you haven't already, please consider joining the Bellwood Studios Discord server. Get the Unless-tester role from the #role-pick channel of our Discord and make sure your DMs are open. We'll reach out to small batches of players at a time. Keep in mind, we're looking for casual players as well as speedrunners! Your feedback will help us fine-tune these levels before they officially launch. Thanks for being part of this journey with us, and see you on the leaderboards!
