- Madgik Yarn Studio status update - 27 August 2026
Hey hey! It’s been a while since we last talked, and for good reason. Quite a lot has happened on our end, including the biggest news of all:We’re telling you everything here. Is Madgik Yarn Studio closed? That’s right, Madgik Yarn Studio has closed its doors. The company was liquidated in June of this year.Don’t worry, nothing will change for Vanova’s Stories. We managed to retain exclusive rights to the game, as well as its revenue.On your end: nothing changes. The new investigations will arrive as planned with a free patch. We sincerely thank you for your support and patience!Since the company’s status was uncertain, we were not allowed to work on the project in case its rights were bought out. We’re proud to confirm that this wonderful game is still ours, and that we can start working on it again!However, since the studio no longer exists, we had to take on other work alongside it,…
- Report #06 : June 2025 Progress - 2 July 2025
Welcome, Inspectors.Here’s some news about the game, where we’re at, and the answer to the burning question: Will we survive the heat?(Spoiler: nope.)

- Report #06 : April 2025 Progress - 6 May 2025
Welcome, Inspectors. Long time no see! We're still alive and kicking, and we’re bringing a lot of big (and hopefully good) news. A bug a day keeps the dev away~ The first episode is still our main priority, but life is hard—and so is game development. We’ve encountered a lot of problems that naturally come with making a game. But our team is working really hard to bring you the best version of Vanova’s Stories! We also added a lot of juice to our various UI elements to give everything a bit more energy. Everything is better when it moves. Testing the Second Investigation The second investigation is done! But now we need to test it to make sure there’s nothing that could stop you from enjoying it. Nothing major, but when working with a lot of elements, small issues can creep in—things you wouldn’t expect or even think were possible. I mean, technically we are a small game… so it fits? Cl…
- Report #05 : December 2024 Progress - 10 January 2025
Welcome, Inspectors. We are excited to welcome you at the start of this year, which promises many great things, the best of which is the release of the game (yes, really!). Tutorial The tutorial is complete. We are now in the debugging phase to ensure everything works smoothly for an upcoming demo. We’re waiting for the last issues to be resolved, like characters showing up where they shouldn't, before presenting it. Beginnings are always humble. Sound Implementation We have started implementing the various music tracks and sounds sent to us by our partner. We’ve chosen to use a dynamic sound system. Each inspector will have their own instrument, which will blend into the music as soon as they enter the room. It’s a metaphor for the idea that everyone brings their own energy, and together, we can create the most beautiful symphony. It’s poetic. Yes, it’s a bit hard to convey sound throu…
- Report #04 : November 2024 Progress - 9 December 2024
Welcome, Inspectors. In this snowless winter, we present the various advancements of Vanova's Stories. Tutorial The tutorial is almost complete. All the graphical assets and narrative elements have been created and implemented. We’ve prepared everything to ensure our future inspectors are ready for action… Well, we hope so. A list of responsibilities right from the start. Investigation 02 The final designs of the characters have been completed, and their animations have been implemented. The missing elements include the backgrounds for the investigation and the programming of new mechanics. All of these will be added in the coming weeks. A new character with a peculiar detail. It’s up to you to figure out which one (Hint: He really likes its color). Investigation 03 Pre-production for the final investigation has started. For now, we are focusing on the narrative and the various elements…
- Report #03 : October 2024 Progress - 6 November 2024
Welcome, inspectors. It's been a long time since we last saw each other! After some internal adjustments, we're back with even more progress. Tutorial The different steps and interactions have been decided. This version will be a mini-investigation in which players will have the challenging task of retrieving their equipment to set off on a mission. An exciting adventure awaits, I guess. A Sophisticated Working Environment You’ll be in the police station and have the privilege of meeting your superior, Claire Adams. Her face may look familiar—she’s featured on all our materials but has never actually appeared in the story. That’s about to change! You’ll get to experience her delightful personality. Definitely not a misanthrope. Nope! Isn’t she charming? Puzzles - First Investigation We’ve worked hard on new cooperative elements, and they’re now fully functional! We’re continuing to inco…
- Report #02 : July 2024 Progress - 1 August 2024
Welcome, inspectors. We are happy to see you again in this new report. We have been working on many things during July and we can’t wait to tell you about them before heading to the beach. New Interactions in the first investigation We are in the process of integrating new features into the first investigation. Cooperation will be more essential than ever. So we hope you get along well with your colleagues, or at least don't mind losing them. An inspector’s day is full of diverse and varied tasks. We won’t show you more; you’ll discover them during your investigations! 3D Search We have also recruited new talents to offer you the best possible version of the game. One of our current goals is to remaster the 3D searches with Vanova’s Stories' unique style. Old Environments Get a Makeover All these elements are works in progress. We can't wait for you to inspect them thoroughly. August wi…

Welcome inspectors. We're delighted to see you again. Despite the heat, we're making good progress. (but it's still hot as hell here). Menus and Feedbacks We've added feedbacks to liven up the dialogs. Given that you'll be reading (a lot), we're keen to keep them as lively as possible. We also add animations to menus. Whether it's a map that appears or a new item obtained, each will have its own behavior. We'll continue to add feedback to make the gameplay ever more satisfying. Episode 02 dialogues As well as adding juice to our various menus and dialogues, we're starting to work on the narrative and discussion trees for episode 02. A glimpse of the new conversations, as serious as ever. Our next objectives - Continue polishing existing elements. - Finish and edit the dialogues from episode 02. - The start of concept art for the elements of episode 02. We'll keep you posted on progress.…
- Report #00 : Welcome to Vanova City - 7 June 2024
Welcome inspectors. Whether you've arrived here by chance or have been looking for us, we're delighted to see you! We'd like to introduce you to the various activities you'll be carrying out as a new inspector. But first, a (quick) introduction to the studio. Madgik Yarn Studio is a small independent studio founded by 4 friends on a simple principle: Make fun games and have fun creating them. All collaborators are equal and make decisions together. So our games are a mix of lots of different ideas and points of view! We also all love cats. Now about our game *drum roll* Team spirit Vanova's Stories is an investigation game in which you play police detectives with your friends. It's a totally cooperative game, which means that to solve the investigation (and keep your job), you'll need to cooperate with your colleagues. Curiosity didn't kill the cat In a pure Point & Click fashion , you…
