Good evening everyone,

Some time ago, I made the decision to conclude the game for myself and declare it ‘finished’.

Unfortunately, the game is not as mature as I would like it to be, and the negative feedback reflects this very accurately.

After some consideration, I have decided to remove the game from Steam. I am in contact with support, and the game will be removed in the near future.

I don't know if I will ever make another game. Tales of Novariel was a game for me to test and practise with. I had big visions and plans for this game. Unfortunately, I released it too early and then couldn't cope with the pressure and real life.

Thank you all for the time and energy you invested in the game.

See you soon,

Welcome Back Talented Gamers!

It's an exciting time here at TurtleFox Games as we're proud to announce our second Talented DLC - Beastmaster's Call.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3997780/Talented__Beastmasters_Call/

As with our first DLC, you'll have acces to a brand new class (the Beastmaster himself!), a new Game Mode and a unique environment - all with lots to unlock and discover!

I'll briefly run down a few of the things you can expect here but these features are very much still being worked on and you can expect deeper dives as our development continues between now and release towards the end of the year.

Equipped with a powerful crossbow - the Beastmaster can choose, care for and upgrade a team of up to 4 pets to take on the demonic hordes.

Each Pet has a unique Attack Pattern and Ability and can be evolved up to 4 times. Each evolution comes with an opertunity to upgrade the pet and craft a build unique to them.

Evolve a pet to its final form and access a rule bending Legendary Upgrade for them - we'll be diving deeper into your options in the next devlog!

The Environment coming to Beastmaster's Call is our most ambitious yet... 4 different quadrants, each representing a stage in a pet's development.

And as you can imagine, there will be interactable elements and a "secret" mini-game to discover... Try not to get too distracted from your run!

That's not it of course, over the next few devlogs we will be revealing:

• The Gauntlet Game Mode

• 6 Beastmaster Challenges

• A package of 30 Achievements

• Beastmaster Skins

And of course, you'll be wanting to know how you can unlock... A shiny skin for every skin in the game!?

That should be plenty for this week! As mentioned, the next devlog will dive deeper into the Beastmaster and how you recruit and evolve your squad of pets! Until then...

Stay Talented

You're My Favorite Person officially releases February 13, 2026! Spread the word!!!

As you may notice, this is a slight delay from what the announcement said... however, I felt the time these extra months will give me is enough to make the end product I want. I also may have had a spooky Halloween nightmare just an hour or two before writing this out. I hope that's understandable!!

On another note, we've reached 200+ wishlists. Thank you all so much! It means the world to me, and I can only hope that number keeps rising as we reach February. The store page may or may not have a new look soon, as well as the page for the soundtrack opening up for wishes...

As always, you can join the Discord or follow me on my socials for upcoming information and teasers.

Happy Halloween!!! :]c

Back to a time where monsters prowl in every shadow and defenses were only whispered prayers. Be careful.... something new is lurking in the dark.

Humanity must hold on to their faith, standing together as one against their largest threat, the ancient and malevolent Vampires. Without it, some will succumb to madness, and others may embrace sin. A dark era is truly upon the town, and you must defend yourselves until dawn breaks once more.

Added 100 new roles as part of the new Dark set.

The Dark set is punishing and difficult, with town lacking any reliable forms of elimination their only hope is to leverage voting to execute all horrors of the night.

The Vampires have held the world captive for decades as they slowly suck all life from it. You serve as one of humanity's last bastions of hope as they face extinction.

Haven is looking a little more dark.. and.. spooky?

• Remove is no longer considered an elimination.

• Moved to the Dark Set.

• Bleeding is no longer permanent.

• Now only has one Chunk of Meat (ayo)

• Chunk of meat now redirects the closest Werewolf attack.

• Divine protection no longer triggers automatically.

• Must now choose to spend souls to protect himself with divine protection.

• Now starts the game with 2 souls instead of 1.

• Now compares capabilities once again instead of class.

• Now learns which capability is shared by at least two of his targets.

• Now only has 1 charge of Get Justice.

• No longer infects his target's targets with plague.

• Is now classed as manipulation.

• No longer learns any information at night.

• Root no longer has charges.

• Can now transform a player into a tree.

• The role data export now allows you to choose which set you would like to export.

• Made the Town winning chime slightly louder.

• Fixed several inconsistencies in the names of things (Elimination vote -> Execution, Clearing -> Grove etc).

• Slightly increased the range at which you hear players at full volume (before volume starts to decrease due to distance)

• Slightly decreased the range of player's voices.

Me and the fams getting ready for the new Invasion

Two new NPCs have been added to the game.

Several tilesets in the Taulabé Caves have been corrected.

The tutorial now explains how to pause the game using a keyboard or an Xbox controller.

Another productive week for Futariuum’s Gate!

Nethuum completed the full redesign of the Quests Screen, which now organizes story quests, side quests, and completed quests in a cleaner and more intuitive layout. This new structure will also streamline development for future quest content.

The Hallway background in Maya’s House received a revision as well, now featuring an interactable element that allows players to access the Safe Hub directly. In addition, Nethuum finished the fast-travel icons for the Library and Safe Hub, finalized all Sphere assets for Brianna, created the icon that indicates the next dungeon room the player will enter, and organized the art assets needed for the upcoming Recap Screen.

On the programming side, AB brought several key features into the game. The new Quest Screen is now fully functional, and the Inventory UI has been enhanced — HP and energy now update in real time. AB implemented main quest triggers, created a new system to simplify dungeon preset generation for story sequences, and added mana display in combat for both Maya and enemies.

The Reputation System also received upgrades: players are now notified when they earn reputation points, and the system includes progressive levels. Finally, the newly added locations are now implemented in-game with their respective interactions.

Big progress all around — thank you for the continued support! ✨

Hello fans of Scratches! It's been quite an eventful year in which a long cycle is finally closing with the launch of ASYLUM.

The file is a companion to the game (and suffice to say, filled with spoilers!) which also contains a number of references about Scratches that you might enjoy. It's already been a fun trip down the memory lane for many fans:

Also, as part of the Steam Scream festival, ASYLUM is at an all-time low 30% off too! So it's a great opportunity to go and pick up the game if you want to play another spooky adventure this Halloween season:
