Announcement

Demo 1.4 available!



Hello, everyone!
It's been a while, hasn't it?

Just wanted to update y'all on The Lady Puppet's current development status.
The game is scheduled to be released in the following months!

In the meantime, I've finally prepared and released version 1.4 of the game's demo.
Does it differ a lot from the main game? Quite so.

While it still plays out exactly the same as the last demo, story-wise, it does carry some gameplay-related improvements.

Here's a quick changelog of what you'll find in version 1.4 of the Prologue Demo:
  • The ability to summon more than one companion at a time (AND USE THEM AS BAIT HEHE!)
  • You will now be able to bind inventory items to quick keys, in order to use them in-game without going through the game's inventory screen! You can now switch that lamp on/off instantly!
  • Lots of fixes, big and small! The game's chinese translation has been fixed and font won't be lost during gameplay, if you're reading a document and you decide to go back you won't be thrown off the inventory screen, etcetera, etcetera!
  • Lailah's big face in the screen's HUD is now smaller! Yay!
  • Small fixes to story related dialogues and documents.


I hope you'll like these improvements!
Look forward to the game's full release!

Thank you!
- Pat

Version 1.3 DRM-Free Available!




The Lady Puppet - Prologue Demo (1.3) that's available on Steam is now available DRM-Free as well!



This version won't require Steam in order to run and will use Gamejolt instead (optionally) for storing achievements and other player's data!


The 1.3 Demo features a lot of new improvements and additions. The graphics have been slightly improved, with new animations (made by Sidewinder), new UIs and improved fonts. The soundtrack is now original and has been composed by the amazing Jasson Prestilliano from JPSoundworks. The game also features some slight story and "settings" fixes.

There are new gameplay mechanics, like improved enemy's hearing (enemies can now hear you better if you walk on certain kind of terrains, for instance), balanced AI and the ability to "Sneak" in order to completely remove sound made when walking.

The demo is available in three languages. English, with proofreading done by Dragnfly , Italian, thanks to the work of Fabrizio Senatore, and Chinese thanks to our friendly neighborhood Pudding!

The graphics of the game can be changed too from the options screen in order to improve performance.



Here's version 1.3 Changelog:

STEAM Announcement // Trailer




The Lady Puppet has now a store page on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1571560/The_Lady_Puppet/



This is gonna be my first Steam game ever and my first commercial game too.
It will make good "training material" as I explore these new and unknown territories. Hopefully I'll learn a lot and I'll be able to attract many, many players!

The full version of the game will be released during the course of 2021 and will take full advantage of Steam's features, like Achievements, Leaderboards and Cloud.

I'm currently working on a new demo for the game, the 1.3 version, that will implement tons of new features and fixes.

Here is a quick list of what will be in the 1.3 demo:
  • Steamworks implementation.
  • Completely original soundtrack composed by Jasson Prestiliano of JPSoundworks (channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4TZ7ga-9oEnuEoCTt8aFWA).
  • 8-directional movements.
  • Graphical improvements like font being less anti-aliased.
  • Improved Stealth system, with enemies having better hearing. Walking on certain types of terrains, like grass, will produce more noise.
  • Added a "Sneak" button that will allow the player to move even slower and produce less noise.
  • Improvements on the overall dialogues and character's interactions.
  • Full screen is now available in the Options screen.
  • Various fixes.
  • And much more...



Here's a sneak peek of the new OST:
