May 28: Price Drop, 50% Discount, Cerebral Showcase, & Game Update

The May 28 Update

Welcome to the May 28 update. We have several updates to share today!

Price Drop

We have permanently dropped the price of the game, from $25 to $20. Valley of Shadow has been a labor of love that we spent over 8 years developing, and we hope that the lower price will help more people experience it! And to that end...

50% Discount

Combined with the permanent Price Drop, this brings the price of the game to $10. This is the lowest it's ever been. This discount will run the entirety of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, so you have plenty of time to try out the demo and purchase the full game if you want to continue the story.

Cerebral Puzzle Showcase

We are absolutely thrilled to be part of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase once more this year. Puzzle Games are obviously near and dear to our hearts, and we look forward to the Showcase every year to get our hands on some incredible demos. We can't wait to see what manner of mind-bending work other developers have been up to. And if you are visiting our page from the Showcase, thank you! We hope you try out the demo and find the game challenging enough to satisfy your puzzle brain.

Game Update

Last but not least, we are releasing v1.21 of the game. The biggest change is that we've updated to the latest version of Unity, 6.3. This fixes a major security vulnerability, nets us some passive improvements due to Unity updates, and fixes a few of our own bugs along the way. Here are the full patch notes:

  • Upgrade to Unity 6.3, to fix the Unity Security Vulnerability

  • Prewarm shaders in Chapter 1, making for a smoother experience

  • Improve graphics and lighting across various areas in the game

  • Improve several cinematics throughout the game

  • Fix a late-game bug involving Force Missile

That's all for now. Thank you for reading, and thank you for journeying with us through the Valley of Shadow.

This Belongs.
