Trench Scene
A sneak peek through a window to the past...I just finished the final pass of edits earlier this week and have six sketches left to color for the build to be ready for Early Access! We're also working on a major bug that's preventing access to Rowan's content on Android. All in all, though, this chapter is in the home stretch!Just a reminder, that means that the Player Tier will remain at $3 a month for only a little while longer! If that's a tier that you're considering pledging to in order to play the Early Access build (a...

Thank You! ( + Bonus Sneak Peek)
While many of us in the US are currently sitting back, reflecting—and regretting eating so much Thanksgiving dinner—I wanted to take the time to send heartfelt gratitude especially to those of you who have reached out to share how Changeling Tale has been impactful or meaningful to you. A lot has changed since we released the game almost two years ago, and to hear that our game has in some small way helped some of you through difficult times is more than we ever imagined when we first set out to make our visual novel. To continue to be able...
Graveyard Setting
Something important happens here...(I've got more interesting transformation-related art that I've been holding back from these sneak peeks because they risk big spoilers. Is that something you'd all rather see now, or would you prefer to wait until around the end of the year when Rowan's Chapter 1 is out, so you can experience it in-game?)

The remains of a castle still stand, a silent sentinel above the loch...At last we get a closer look at the ruins that have been teased in the game since the beginning!
