Hi!
A couple of days ago, we received an email that made our entire team very anxious. It was letter from Hasbro. They accused us in infringement of their trademark — board-game "BETRAYAL AT HOUSE ON THE HILL".
This was shock to us. Our games are completely different: we have different plot, different gameplay and even different themes. It is a very difficult for somebody to mix up our games, especially considering their have a different format and different titles.
Unfortunately, we are a very small development team (SteppeHare consists of three people), and we do not have enough finances to prove ourselves through court.
We want to make sure that you will be able to play our game in the future, and because of that we decided to change its title. This change will not affect gameplay or the ability to play our game through Steam in any way. The change of the title — is the only change in the game. And it seems to us that we've chosen a worthy replacement.
Thank you for your support!
Best Regards,
SteppeHare Studio.
