- It’s Official: We’re Steam Deck Verified! - 6 July 2023
Hi folks! We’re absolutely delighted to share the great news with you that Romancelvania is *EMPHASIZED BOLD* Steam Deck verified! It’s been a long time coming, but we’re so happy to share a lighter, more on-the-go version of Romancelvania that you can now play anywhere you want with stable performance and optimization made specifically for the platform. Play in your bed, inside the car, on the couch, wherever - we don’t judge! The last few months have been amazing for us to see all the love and feedback we’ve gotten. Though we’re a small crew, we’re actively working to listen to our players and optimize the game. If you haven’t checked out our previous patch notes, we’d advise you to to see what our team has been cooking up in the kitchen (trust us - it’s a LOT): Patch 1.1, Patch 1.2. We’ll continue to be transparent and give you all the ins and outs of what’s going on behind the scene…
- Patch 1.2 Update ft. Map Feature! - 27 June 2023
Hi folks, 1.2 is out, which means it’s time for a new round of updates for Romancelvania, plus address any additional fixes that are next on our plate. We’re most excited to share with you that our navigation map feature is now available on Steam based on the given community feedback we’ve received over the last few months.

And for the completionists out there, this should hopefully help you find that item that will get you to 100%. 1.2 Update - Patch Notes Updated a new map feature that allows you to navigate across levels Added an additional Blood Pool save point before the end game Added warnings for places that do not allow you to return afte…

Hi folks! Time sure has flown and we’ve done a lot in the past two months to kickstart this upcoming patch. From general bug fixes to larger game overhauls, this addresses many of the feedback that we have gotten from players, that we hope will improve the experience of Romancelvania. And before we tune you to your regular programming, we’d like to highlight that we will be participating in the LudoNarraCon this year which starts TODAY!

Here’s all the BIG changes we’ve brought to 1.1 (non-spoiler): Updated crystal and flair system to create more enjoyable and streamlined combat experience.

- Hotfix 1.0.3 - 12 March 2023
A few updates we weren't able to include in the previous updates. Fixed a bug where the Sol and VH House Drama could fail to return control if triggered in certain regions. Vess now triggers the correct conversations if you complete her Quests but converse with her in different orders. This allows for easier access to her Bottle quest. Added additional safeguards to ensure control is returned to the player after all House Dramas.
- Hotfix 1.0.2 - 11 March 2023
The feedback has been great! Thank you all so much for sharing your thoughts. We were so energized by it that we couldn't help but send another update right away. Enjoy! Fixed a bug where if you return to Fenton after getting Strength in Fiction Quest but before completing it, you get an empty conversation. Fixed a bug where if you visit Medusa before yesterday’s hotfix AND return to her the gallery wall will block you. Added indicators to date and gift selection screens to more clearly indicate you can scroll to see more characters. Fixed an out of world bug where you can jump out of Sol’s area of the castle. Prevented players from leaving Hokkaido before Grim shows up to take you back to Drac’s Castle. Added two new Quests to clarify where to find Nefret – “Got the Power!” and “Electrified!” added to give a bit more guidance to the player. Tuned the lightning in Thundercrack Hollow to…

Fixed a Steam Deck video codec issue that was causing empty white videos to loop indefinitely. Fixed an issue where players would get stuck in Medusa’s area where you can’t leave her room. Added a training message to introduce The Impaler in the Retro Grounds. Added dialog between Drac and Bataboom to explain why the Van Helsings sound the way they do. Added Steam Cloud saves! Things We’re Aware Of (And That We’re Addressing) Deluxe Edition OST - Aware some users are unable to access the OST. We are aware and have flagged this with Valve and should be fixed (fingers crossed!) within the next 48 hours.
