Hi, guys,

Here we are, on the threshold of the official release of The Hand of Glory that, as you may know, was scheduled for May 12.

You noticed that WAS, didn’t you? Unfortunately, we’re once again forced to delay the release, but slightly this time (especially for the Kickstarter backers)!

The emergency we had to face slowed us down more than expected, hindering each and every communication among us and with other external collaborators that are helping us in this final phase. Many actors were unable to access their recording studios, and we ourselves had the same problems that every one of you is probably facing in this tough – and unpredictable – moment.

So, what’s the status of the development? Despite the adversities, we really did it. The game is complete, the dubbing is implemented, the graphic assets are final. Then why this further delay? The reason is simple: final polishing. We could release the game as expected on May 12, but not having had enough time to eliminate the imperfections which arise during the final phase of development. Just think at the audio mixing, as well as all those little, tricky bugs that mysteriously appear when you’re so close to release.

We really think it would be disrespectful to deliver a game that may be not optimal because of the rush, therefore here’s what we decided.

The FINAL release date for the first part of The Hand of Glory is shifted to June 9, BUT with an important note: all our backers will receive their Steam key as soon as we are sure we eliminated all the major issues, with a maximum delay of one week (and so no later than May 19).

Here's a new gameplay video, in the meantime, showing a dialogue between Inspector Burton and Lars. We're really happy with the quality of our actors!
