| Lempo - Patch Note 1.0.1 | 2023-09-12 | Major fix: We think we have found out the reason why saving the game in the first level would prevent the game from starting for a small number of players.

As it only happened on some machines, it was difficult to test reliably. Thank you for your patience.

| The process behind Lempo | 2023-01-10 | Three people worked very hard to rock the horror game world. Add a pinch of puzzle game and Finnish mythology and you get Lempo! https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/40469584/b715e23b4cd94292ab446e9a7751e0d0f5c8a22b.png Lempo is based on those three people's cultures. In Finland, everybody’s connected to nature, and so is this game. Much of the game even takes place in a forest! Players can easily identify themselves with the main character of the game because, even with a great sense of direction, after a 9 to 5, everybody can find themselves in strange places if they aren't careful enough about the direction |

| Meet Lempo! | 2022-12-21 | The spark for LEMPO came from using old Finnish folklore of Metsänpeitto as the basis of the story. A magical and dark fantasy world where one might get lost and (almost) never get out. Then the idea started to live and we thought about the core pillars of our game: avoiding major cliches, strong emphasis on storytelling, and an epic atmosphere and mood throughout the story. This is when the idea of using Lempo (the character) was born. Before Christianity had arrived in Finland, in the old Finnish mythology Lempo was, and is, a much kinder version of the god Christians perceived as bad as the Devil itself. We wanted to use the darker version |

| Metsänpeitto & the Finnish mythology | 2022-12-07 | Like you will in Lempo, people have also believed that you can get lost in Metsänpeitto in real life. In Finnish mythology, when people or animals go missing for reasons we cannot explain, Metsänpeitto is often to blame. Sometimes when walking in the woods, even if you've been there many times before, you'll find a small area that feels like you've never seen it. And before you know it, you are completely lost. Sometimes even so lost, that you end up in Metsänpeitto and are unable to simply walk back to the right path. Welcome to this fantasy world. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/40469584/50fe4c23c78 |
| Finnish Mythology, seen by the devs | 2022-11-23 | Mythology is an endless source of inspiration and material. We have used many concepts from Finnish folklore, like Lempo itself, but have not been afraid to put our own spin on things. Lempo is not a lesson on Finnish mythology but has taken a lot of ideas from it. We have mixed up different time periods and cultures and styles into one mysterious, interesting, and unique adventure. It's not hard to see during these cold and short winter days why darkness and gloominess are present in the Finnish way of thinking and living, and an integral part of the mythology of the north. Finland is an inspiring place to work on a horror game, as there are |
