Hey everyone,
This is not the update we wanted to write. Not today.
We've been holding onto hope until the last possible minute, expecting to share a major milestone with you—something that was supposed to happen 18th of June.
This date wasn’t picked at random. It meant something deeply personal to us. It marked a promise, a rhythm in our creative journey, and a moment we wanted to share with all of you who believed in 3Tower from day one.
But Steam… well, they had other plans. Or rather, no plan—at least none that matched the urgency we poured into this.
We've been stuck in their approval limbo for weeks, waiting for a green light that just never came. Emails, tickets, polite nudges… we did everything short of flying to Valve HQ with a lantern and a haunting playlist. The delay isn’t on us. The game is ready. We are ready. But bureaucracy, slow gears, and radio silence swallowed a launch that was incredibly important to us and, honestly, to this community.
We’re frustrated. We’re heartbroken. We’re sorry.
We don’t like to rant, and we don’t like blaming external forces, but this time, we owe you honesty. This delay doesn’t just mess with timelines—it messes with trust. Yours, and ours.
So what now?
We keep going. 3Tower lives. The graveyard may be full of the restless dead, but we’re not joining them just yet. As soon as we get that Steam OK, we’ll let you know. And we’ll be back with something to make it up to you. That’s a promise.
Thank you for sticking with us. You deserve better. And we’ll make sure you get it.
— Swen, Jasmin, and the whole Wechselbalg Studio team 🖤
