Hello Night Owls!
We are currently incredibly proud to be part of the "Games Composed in Germany" sale on Steam! It is a huge joy and honor to be featured alongside so many other fantastic titles from Germany. In case you ever wondered where Letty was actually born: Pencil Stories was created in Ludwigsburg, specifically within the Kokolores Creative Collective - a truly amazing games and creative hub. Together with fantastic contributions from Berlin and Frankfurt, the game has become what it is today. A true collaborative effort!
Your wonderful feedback over the last few weeks has been incredibly motivating. That’s why today we have two exciting pieces of news regarding the future of Pencil Stories that we just have to share with you:
🌟 Work in Progress: The Free "Open Chapter" for PC (Release: Q4)
Many of you have told us that you didn't want to leave Tsukinoma after finishing the story. Good news: Soon, you won't have to! We are currently working on a new "Open Chapter". Once you have completed the main story, you will be able to explore the sleeping village completely freely. Without a full mailbag, you can stroll through the night at Letty's pace, soak up the atmosphere, and discover a lot of new background lore about Tsukinoma and its residents. This free content update is planned for the fourth quarter of this year!
📱 Letty is packing her bags: Mobile Beta Test in September
But that's not all: Letty is getting ready for new shores! We are currently developing a mobile version for iOS and Android. Our core reveal mechanic - "painting" the environment bright - feels incredibly satisfying with direct touch controls on a screen.
To ensure everything runs perfectly, we are hosting a small, closed Beta test for the mobile version in September. We have a limited number of spots available. If you want to be among the first to take Letty with you in your pocket, you can sign up right now!

We will randomly select the participants and contact you via email.
Thank you so much for supporting our little world and bringing it to life. If you don't have a ticket to Tsukinoma yet: The sale is still live!
