Sugar Rush Studios announced back on April 6th that a ‘Definitive Edition’ release of their 2021 Lovecraftian visual novel, At Eve’s Wake, was in the works. Originally planned to have been out early this month, the developers have since confirmed that the updated release with additional story content should now be launching at the end of May.
The price on the existing release has been reduced to $9.99 and anyone who owns the game will get a free upgrade once the ‘Definitive Edition’ is out. It is expected that the current release will be delisted or replaced once the ‘Definitive Edition’ is ready to go. The team’s announcement offering further explanation continues below:
Today we are announcing the upcoming Definitive Edition, which will be released within the coming month priced at $9,99.
We have also permanently reduced the price to $9,99. Because of this price reduction we wanted to provide those who already purchased the game with a free upgrade to the Definitive Edition.
If you already completed the story, this will be a great opportunity to return and see what your actions have caused. This was one of the requested featured we received, so we wanted to provide you with a more detailed Epilogue.
In addition to these changes, the store page has also been updated to make it more clear what this game is actually all about. Originally we thought it would be great to keep a sense of mystery and not disclose the mechanics of the game. Unfortunately this has caused some confusion and kept certain players from replaying the game.
So to make it more clear:
At Eve’s Wake is an interactive Lovecraftian horror story about surviving a family you never knew and their servitude to a dark patron. Discover what your family knows and does to win, only to have it used against them by your actions. All this knowledge remains with you through victory or death, beyond the bounds of time and space. Armed with this knowledge, your actions will shape your fate and that of the family. Will you embrace this gift or rid humanity of their taint?To stay true to the theme of Lovecraftian horror, you will be able to manipulate the fabric of reality and makes changes by returning to earlier save points. Apart from this, you will be able to use knowledge acquired from previous play-throughs, or even current if returning to an earlier save point
So whether you are new or returning, we hope that you will enjoy the Definitive Edition!
