Happy New Year! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Our team managed to get some well-deserved rest, but now we're back at it again, working full steam ahead on Saloon Simulator's prologue. This is where we'll present our full vision of the game's core mechanics - a vision we're eager to modify based on your feedback. We can't wait to show you the fruits of several months of hard work.
Our writers and 2D artists have been working closely together over the past month, resulting in not only a variety of handwritten letters and in-game notes, but also beautiful illustrations that will grace the pages of our journal.

The prologue storyline is now playable from beginning to end, but many mechanics still require refinement to ensure they are clear, visually appealing, and sound just right. In the midst of these improvements, we've also found time to add an entirely new feature - the unpacking mechanic. Our supplier, Jack, brings in crates of food and alcohol, which you'll need to unpack and place on the appropriate shelves in your saloon. It may seem like a small addition, but trust us - unpacking has never been so much fun. Take a look for yourself!

We've also revamped the Furniture and Decoration Store menu. Now you can preview 3D models of each item before you buy, making sure you get exactly what you need for your salon.
