(Please note: We currently only have US East and Oceania regions available for testing.)

• Fixed cases when player could get nothing from item boxes.
  
• Fixed edge case where the Packmule trait would not work as expected.
  
• Fixed a number of cases where weapons on the ground could not be looted.
  
• Fixed a number of cases where weapon would not be equipped after switching it (no arms/hands and weapon rendered).
  
• Fixed the too quick disconnection at the end of the quickplay round so that Quickplay end of rounds animations are played before returning to the menu.
  
• Fixed the missing explosive icon for the Bomb Lance in the store and equipment screens.
  
• Fixed a number of minor animation issues.
  
• Fixed a number of minor localization issues.

• Fixed a bug where the crosshair on LeMat shotgun would changes with changing stance.

• Death screen: Fixed a bug where selected hunter for Bounty Hunt got displayed instead of selected hunter for Quickplay.
  
• Death screen: Extracted players will no longer break the death screen.
  
• Death screen: In Damage History the health bars should be representative like in the game.
  
• Death screen: Fixed a bug where kills / Death value on death screen player profile would show too many decimal digits.
  
• Death screen: Fixed a bug where being killed while having the options menu open, resulted in no death screen shown.
  
• Fixed a bug where users couldn't switch contracts twice in a row on the contract screen because the button doesn't update to ACCEPT.
  
• General: Fixed a bug where players banned for cheating did not receive a proper error message when being kicked from loading into a game.

Hey there!

We’ve had our Steam page up for a little while, but we’re going to get a lot more active on here for the next little bit - we’re part of #LudoNarraCon, a wonderful free online event all about narrative games that’s happening right here on Steam, starting in only a few more hours!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1080450/Wayward_Strand

We’re going to have a demo, playable online for the very first time, that you’ll be able to access right from our store page! (An FAQ to go along with it will be appearing shortly.) It’ll be available from Friday 10:00 AM PT, which is Saturday 4:00 AM here in Melbourne, until the morning of the 1st of May!


We’ve also got a looping stream throughout the entire event that has heaps of exciting interviews and discussion on there, including:

• An interview with some of the team, conducted by a professional real life games journalist! (Casey would be so proud of us.)
  
• Some character deep dives, exploring certain characters’ histories and design process (with minimal spoilers).
  
• An exploration of the tech and design behind our experimental simultaneous story structure.
  
• A consultation session with a 1970s nurse.

We’re also hoping to go live at a couple of points throughout LNC, where we’ll be able to answer questions about the demo and all the stuff on our other streams! We’re currently planning to do these at Friday 7:00 PM PT (Saturday 12:00 PM AEST), and then again at Saturday 9:00 PM PT (Sunday 2:00 PM AEST). These will be pretty open and free-wheeling - we’re just keen to connect with you, answers questions and chat!

We’re really looking forward to LudoNarraCon - we hope you enjoy it, and if you’ve got friends on Steam that might be interested, send them a link! There are gonna be heaps of demos, sales, panels, streams… it’s gonna be a super exciting weekend, and we’ll see you there!!

It's finally here.

After almost 5 years and hundreds of updates, the true ending is now playable, along with a load of polishing and other tweaks to the game.

So... CHANGE: A Homeless Survival Experience is pretty much finished!



We've still got some new events and more polish work coming before the big day, but in terms of major content, the game is now done. Don't worry, we're still gonna release some more content updates post-release, along with new languages!

It's been a hell of a ride. From the Kickstarter backers to everyone here on Steam, we can't thank you enough. This community has been so supportive of this project, embracing the subject matter, engaging with suggestions and keeping us informed of any bugs to help us create something truly memorable.

It feels really strange to be this close to the finish line. CHANGE has dominated our lives for half a decade, so it's a bittersweet experience to see it done... It almost doesn't feel real. We've got big plans for new projects though!

We can't wait to hear what you all think of the ending and don't forget to keep giving feedback! Now without further ado, once more, ONTO THE PATCH NOTES! ^-^

Cavern Head has decided to make an exceptional promotion of partial control to help anyone fired and isolated or just simply bored, to find something they might want to do.

We managed to get a small server online in Europe, so it is now possible to get some games going again.
For the moment there are no updates coming, and we will not open for any sales.

Stay safe out there.

Building a Kingdom has never been darker with the new setting Dead Lands taking place in a gloomy mystical world with eerie mounts and spooky forests. And for the first time ever in Kingdom, players will not only be able to change their mounts as they explore and expand their Kingdom but they’ll also be able to switch between four different monarchs, each with a powerful and unique trait. These four new playable characters all come directly from the gothic horror action-RPG Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.



Miriam is the main protagonist in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and the first playable monarch in Kingdom Two Crowns: Dead Lands before unlocking the other Bloodstained characters.

As an orphan Miriam was turned into a Shardbinder at a young age. Shardbinders are afflicted with a curse by Alchemists that slowly crystallizes their skin and gives them the ability to control demonic powers embedded in the crystals. She is deeply pained by the suffering of humankind caused by a long-time friend.

Kingdom Two Crowns Ability: A whip lash that sends out a powerful wave which freezes the Greed and stops their movement for a short duration.



A Demon Hunter who originated from a country in the East. Master at wielding a katana, Zangetsu specializes in fighting demons and has dedicated his life fending off the demons that walk the earth. He has lost many friends, along with losing his left eye and right arm during his long journey of keeping the demons at bay.

Kingdom Two Crowns Ability: Raising his katana rallies the nearby Archers, Pikemen and Knights to increase their attack speed for a short time.



Alfred is a soft-spoken, creative, and wise man who is fully equipped with powerful alchemic abilities that is unmatched among his fellow alchemists. A father figure to Miriam.

Kingdom Two Crowns Ability: Conjures a duplicate of himself and his steed that doubles his powers. The duplicate doesn’t take damage by the Greed or other hostile forest creatures.



Gebel is a Sharbinder and long-time friend of Miriam. Apart from Miriam, he is the last surviving Shardbinder who was able to withstand the effects of the experiments done to him at such a severe level.

Kingdom Two Crowns Ability: Gebel can take the form of a bat which allow him to fly fast and deceive the Greed. After a short period of time as a bat he reappears on his steed.


Active the monarch’s ability by pressing:
W or Arrow Up-key

Note. With this update the coin drop is moved from the bumpers to D-pad down on controllers. You can still drop coins with the buttons:
S or Arrow Down-key

Kingdom Two Crowns: Dead Lands is a free update coming April 28 to Kingdom Two Crowns.
