| Tales of the Black Death - sounds design and new feature. | 2022-11-14 | Hi everyone, I am glad to announce a new update for Tales of the Black Death! They are two major things in this update – The Sound Design and a New Feature. First the feature. As some of you might know, in medieval times, many believed, praying to a religious symbol could bring absolution from sin. With that in mind, a new feature has been added to the game. Now, Baldasar now can carry a religious symbol with him, like a bible. This will give him the ability at anytime to reflect on his sinful ways. *Don’t worry, the Tutorial Crow will make a duty to tell you all about it in Chapter 1. Sound Design Secondly, a complete sound design has been i |
| A last update for Octobre. | 2021-10-26 | Hi everyone, First thanks to everyone that sent me feedback, everyone who streamed the game or took the time to make a play through video for YouTube. I truly appreciate it! This week, the update is focused on small, but important things. The main menu interface has been slightly updated to give better feedback to the player.

| Base game update + a few other things. | 2021-10-18 | It’s truly wonderful to see players out there enjoying the game and receiving feedback. The last few days I took the time to replay the game myself, noting where a few things could be enhanced. Today’s update focuses mostly on Chapter 3 – England. A few more choices were added to add more dimensions to some of the characters. A few more consequences for your actions were added/adjusted ( Getting sick, losing morality.) Adjusted the rat battle mechanics (one of the rats was giving troubles to a lot of players). The look of the rat battle screen has also been updated. Fixed a typo in the main menu. Fixed missing tutorial text. Fixed confusing t |

| Translation - Tales of the Black Death | 2021-10-08 | Hi everyone, The last few days have been quite busy with translating the game and I am happy to say - it’s progressing nicely! ( The Proofreader and I might be a bit high on caffeine...but in a good way!) This also gives us a chance to rephrase some of the original text so both languages will benefit from this last minute endeavor. We can’t for this choice-driven narrative to reach more players and so far, it looks like we’ll be able to respect our launch date! ( hooray! ) I personally think Spooktober is the best month to release a game like this and truly hope many of you will enjoy this journey. As always, we welcome feedback, so don’t be |
| Coming soon! | 2021-10-01 | Tales of the Black Death has been in development for a few years now. Starting off as a prototype with a different art and a simple survival and morality system. With time, the art has been enhanced, the narrative was expanded to feature more characters and a deeper story, the player choices have been refined and the survival system put to the test. Now that the project feels ready to reach a larger audience, we invite you to embark on this unique journey set in Italy, France and England during the darkest era the world has ever witnessed, the ear of the Black Plague.
