| Enhanced Edition Version 2 is live! | 2026-08-27 | Hello there! It's been awhile!A new update for Knight Bewitched released today:Revised the script (again)Fixed a crash that could happen in the final dungeon...And that's it!ContextI recently broke my long hiatus to release some much-needed QoL updates for the Android version of the Enhanced Edition. The updates were extensive enough that I needed to replay the story from the beginning, and, well... I found myself being so unsatisfied with the writing that I decided to go through and rewrite every major cutscene in the game. Again. While NPCs and minor scenes remain mostly the same, every major cutscene has been revised in one way or another. |
| 5-23-2023 Winterfall Cavern Update | 2023-05-23 | Hello! Over the years I've received a few reports of players getting soft-locked on the Winterfall Cavern wisps. This is a confusing bug as I've never been able to replicate it, and it doesn't seem to happen to everyone. That said, it does seem to be a legit issue, so I implemented a shortcut: Facing the circled tile here will allow you to bypass the wisp puzzles. That's all! Have a good one! |

Both games are available in open testing now on the Google Play Store, and if all goes well, should be officially released sometime early next month. And that's all for today! If you have any feedb |

| 8-17-22 Patch | 2022-08-17 | Hello, another small bugfix update was released today: It should now (hopefully, finally) be impossible to obtain multiple Wands of Fate from Keller It is no longer possible to forge multiple Schicksalsschlags (even if you have a duplicate Wand of Fate already) If you have accidently forged 2 Schicksalsschlags, re-entering Ullo's Forge will automatically refund your Arcanite Ores and allow you to forge another weapon If you encounter any issues, please comment here or email me at Jkweath @ gmail.com as I don't actively monitor discussion boards. |

| 7-31-22 Achievements fix | 2022-07-31 | Hello, I've released an update today addressing achievements: After completing the Sealed Tower, speaking with the nun in Halonia's middle section (where the statue room is) will refresh achievements. Due to how the Strife fight was set up, you'll get the achievement for defeating him regardless of if you've challenged him or not. All achievements involving defeating the final boss could not be included in this fix. If you want these achievements, you'll need to defeat the final boss again. Many apologies for the troubles. If you encounter any issues with this update, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email: Jkweath (@) gmail.com. |
| The Absinthia Kickstarter's Final Push | 2022-06-27 | Hello everyone! The Absinthia campaign has made it far thanks to everyone who's played Knight Bewitched and helped its crowdfunding campaign last year. Thanks to your efforts, we're currently at 82% funding as of this writing. Though the campaign's performed well up to this point, the reality is that we're still 18% short of the base goal (about $3,600 as of this writing). Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform, so if we don't reach the goal, then we don't receive any funds. If you haven't pledged already, now is the time to do so. If you don't want to or can't afford to pledge, you can still help support the project by following and/or re |
