- Hotfix 1.2.4 - 29 March 2026
Hi Folks! If you have been looking for items not in the hint-system, so you have collected as much as you can. The hint areas no longer show; this is the fix for you. Items in the Train Station, Mill, Christmas Market and the Museum had items missing from the hint system. These have been added! If you happen to experience items missing, but the hint areas are no longer showing. Please go to the discussion forum and report your bug - or report it on our Discord! +Other Misc. bugfixes. See you folks! Bering - Shapeshift Entertainment
- Hotfix 1.2.3 + Train Station Nerf - 23 March 2026
Hi everyone. The latest hottest hotfix involving some issues regarding the WILLUMARRYME achievement which incorrectly does not trigger in various situations. It has now been added so if the item is spammed or other unforseen things happen, it can be collected from the box twice to try and address the issue. There has also been naughty elves troubling the ceiling in the train station. With colliders being too harsh for the camera, so the area has been vastly reduced to allow for better and improved camera movement. The train station level has also been nerfed; so more objects are near the ground; as the difficulty curve has been too steep going from 2nd to the 3rd level. But not to worry! If you have already collected items in the train station your save game won't be affected.
- Hint Area System is live! - 26 February 2026
Hi folks! Fantastic Findings has now been updated with a new hint area system. It is an optional hint system to help you collect remaining items. Both main objects as well as gingerbread, eatables and clean up items. The game can still be finalized to 100% without relying on the hint area system. But if you struggle knowing whether you have cleared an area when searching for items, if you press the magnifying glass button in each level, areas that still contain items will be highlighted in yellow. Areas not highlighted in yellow, do not contain anymore items for you to collect (Except for hidden achievements - no hint for those) We hope this update will help the ones chasing 100%! - Wanting to collect all items! In other news: -Other misc bugfixes have been completed. -Sounds that were previously playing while sound volume was min. have been corrected.-Additional set dressing.
- Hotfix 1.1.7 + Updated Tutorial and starting experience. - 26 December 2025
Hi Folks! I hope ya'll had a fantastic Christmas and had time to relax and chill! New Players shared their experiences, having difficulties understanding the camera controls. -The tutorial has been made clearer -The Start Position for the Camera in the Stables have been moved, to indicate the game is 3rd person instead of 1st person. - Help menu has been updated. ------------------------ Misc Bugfixes.
- FIND SANTA! - Bonus level added! - Reach it via the Museum level! - 18 December 2025
Howdy folks! Why was Santa Missing? Why did he not find his Reindeer and you had to do all the work to prepare for Christmas? - You have looked everywhere, but we believe there is one place that has not been checked yet! - Head to the Museum; after helping Detective Donner out; I bet he has clues as where to go next to find Santa Claus! We hope you will find Santa and save Christmas! + Minor Bugfixes: - Train level characters aligned. - Collider fixes in xmas market - Wall and Camera Collider issues in the 2nd level - Misc Bugfixes. This will be the last update this year! Have a wonderful and amazing Christmas everyone, and thank you so much for playing Fantastic Findings! Kind Regards Bering from Shapeshift.
- 1.0.8 - Live! With Star Counting System! - 8 December 2025
Hi Folks! Another small update. I see folks are training their amazing counting skills, checking how many stars they got! - To make things easier and to avoid doing math this Christmas (because who finds joy in that!) the game now show the star count for each profile! Making it easier keeping track of what you have unlocked, as well as how many stars are tied to each profile! Neat, right? I've also had a ton of really good bug reports coming in, mostly small fixes, which has been taken care of, as well as more end-panel stories added to the reindeer and more! A few gingerbread cookie locations were very trick, so they have been moved or flipped, so they're easier to see and located! To help players finding more of the optional items, the first step for a new optional-hint system has been prototyped; but you have to be patient as this will take time to implement into every level :) Other…
- 1.0.7 - Train Station Hotfix. - 4 December 2025
Hi Folks! First, I'd like to really appreciate the commitment players have providing amazing feedback for the game. I really appreciate it and it is what truly makes games great! There have been ongoing issues for the Train Station, where a couple of fixes and changes have been made in the scene to try and address these issues. This change should not affect all players, as no save-ID data has been modified at this time; but due to being unable to replicate the issue; I once again- will rely on the amazing player feedback to find out if this bug is fixed or persists. Finding all gingerbread cookies: There also seem to have been issues finding the last cookie; one has been in a difficult location which has been moved into a location, easier to find. This should hopefully trigger the achievement for the last players, who're still eager to collect everything 100% + Other Misc Bugfixes: Once…

- New Demo Update - Q&E Camera Controls added to improve Steamdeck functionality. - 30 November 2025
Hi folks! It has been requested to have more options to control the camera, when rotating/orbiting the camera! Santa's Elves have been hard at work and we have updated Q&E to support the camera rotation. It ties into the Orbit speed as well, so if it goes too quick, reduce the speed in the settings! This change should also make it much easier and smooth to play on your Steamdecks! Beyond that; Mrs Claus has been hard at work, moving everything around to new places! So the quest (and other) items in Stables and Santa's House. So the Demo experience is now different vs the full game! Extra: Also been minor bugfixes across multiple levels. Keep the bug reports and suggestions coming!Happy December 1st folks!
