Thank you everybody! Happy holidays!!!
Firstly, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!!!I want to just quickly give a thank you for all the warm reception to bygone snow. It's a little project I wanted to make for several years (it was conceptualized way back in October 2021) and it's been really nice seeing thoughts on it. And being really humbled by how much it's resonated with people... Really, it means a lot to me and I appreciate everybody who's checked it out! And thank you too on any reviews; I read them and they help the game a ton on visibility. It really does mean a ton!!!Here's a little Christmas drawing, and thank you again!!!Oh yeah obligated to say it, if you liked bygone snow and are curious about more, check out Garenburg Penitence: The Riflebird (same series, might have yuri too) which is on sale right now.

bygone snow updated release date!
Hello again!Previously bygone snow had missed its planned release date of Halloween as it had an abnormally long review period, taking almost two months instead of the typical 3-5 business days (it was submitted for review September 27th). Fortunately, it has been properly reviewed by Steam, and will actually release in... one week!The internal Steam release date is December 5th at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time, so it'll actually be releasing closer to Saturday, December 6th. It's not too much longer now!It's not that much longer now. I hope you enjoy bygone snow! See you soon!Read full article on Community Announcements (Mireille Scieppan)AnnouncementsOfficial
Potential delay in game release date
Hello,While the original plan for the Steam release was October 31st, 2025, it's looking like it will likely be delayed. I'm not sure when it'll be available. The game itself is fully complete and programmed (and has been out on other platforms for free since September 18th), but this Steam release may take some more time.The game build was submitted for approval in September, but has been taking longer than expected to be approved for release. As it still has not been approved yet, it may be some more time before the game is available on Steam. It's pretty much just a waiting game.Sorry for any inconvenience! The game will release on Steam the moment it is approved.- Mireille ScieppanRead full article on Community Announcements (Mireille Scieppan)
