Steam Version + Removal of some versions (temporary)


Hello everyone! :)

Just a quick update to let you all know the Steam version will be coming soon.

It is a reworked version of 96, so even though the graphics/story will be the same, it did require a lot of work.

The new version will be available on itchio as well, around the same time we manage to get it to Steam. We're aiming for a price that's under a dollar or a dollar at worst, but if you can't afford it/don't want to pay, the normal game will always be free and it will have the same content in terms of story :)

We're taking down some translations temporarily so that we can re-upload them with the same text as the Steam version. If you can't find a language, it will be back soon!

The free version will still get stability patches and translations, so do not feel any pressure to buy anything.


*!!IMPORTANT!!*

If you've donated/bought the game before, do send us an email with the receipt/confirmation email at kittyspongey@gmail.com and we'll give you a free key for the new version :)


We wish you a wonderful day,


Spongey Kitty

Hi! That's great about the Steam version! Just curious, what are the differences in the new version?

Hello! :)
Thank you very much for the message!

We've tried really hard to keep the two versions as similar as possible.

Changes include:

-A brand-new message system 

-Another Story bonus episode is playable right after the main game instead of being a separate download

-The Bonus folder is unlockable from inside the game

-Most maps have been reworked for better flow/less collisions

-Some items are now interactable objects and will have comments

-All languages are playable from the same version, no more multiple downloads, and they can be switched any time from inside the game

-Added better support in terms of FPS, message speed, help files, commands, full screen support, keyboard configuration

-Some languages have been almost completely reworked so for people who played them, it will be quite different. (the itchio version will also be changed, though)


This is all we can think of off the top of our head. We've been working on it for 4 months almost, by now.

There are a few more minor fixes etc. to make the game more enjoyable, but we don't want the free version to become only half of the experience or anything like that. :)

Part of why the Steam version will be paid is also to be able to bring more games to Steam as well and to pay translators, since uploading a game there isn't free, but we didn't want to offer the same exact version as the itchio one for a price.

Hope this answered your question! If there's any problem, let us know.

Awesome, thanks for the info! Sounds like you've done a lot of work on it. Loved the original. Best of luck with the Steam release! :)
