This is simply a lure intended to reel you in, you scrumptious little fish you.A Free Demo will be available until Sept. 21! But remember, nothing is ever free. This is simply a lure intended to reel you in, you scrumptious little fish you.Implemented a new bark system! There are more battle barks now, and certain barks that shouldn’t play at certain times will theoretically now not play. It was funny when Pallas was talking about Rayna before they’d ever met, but his level of simp was not intended to be prophetic.Reduced some time and burnout costs for battle replays on lower difficulty levels. Players looking for additional stress in their lives should consider playing on higher difficulties and/or employment…
- Patch #5 - Bug Fixes - 26 August 2026
The Shareholders continue to improve your Software Product.Resterludes are now better at not skipping past intro/outro scenes if you quit in the middle of one of them. Intro and outro scene quality remains subjective, so this update may or may not be a good thing.No other Quality of Life changes have been implemented at this time, as the Quality of One’s Life is determined primarily by factors outside of this Software Product’s control. Also, we didn’t get to them.Fixed a number of bugs related to achievements not triggering during battle replays. This in itself is an achievement.Fixed a bug that caused some buttons to be interactable when they shouldn’t have been or uninteractable when they should have been. Buttons that are sometimes, rarely, never, or always either meant to be or meant not to be fully, partially, or impartially interactable remain unchanged.Fixed a number of incorrec…

The Shareholders continue to improve your Software Product.Battlefield objects such as Lunar Rifts and Vines are now selectable during the setup phase. This will help set you up for success.Added an option to disable screen shake in the settings menu. Because we like to shake things up. Or not. It’s your choice now!Adjusted newspapers to make font size slightly larger. As we continue to investigate ways to make newspapers even more readable, we will be offering free reading glasses to interested parties.*Added an option to the first Shareholder conversation which allows players to keep things professional. The developers kindly request that their family members select this option.Added subtitles to the intro sequence. Added secret code to the subtitles. The secret? There is no code.Added a version number to the settings. Who says hotfixes can’t be thrilling?*while supplies last.Note: su…
- Patch #3 - Chat Log & Bug Fixes - 18 August 2026
Chat log feature added. Scribes must write extremely quickly in order to record all spoken dialogue, and we thank them for their efforts.Disabling time management gameplay now also removes burnout costs associated with equipping swag/liabilities. Because with the proper mindset, equipping swag is a deeply calming experience.Portraits have been added to the credits. You now have a much better idea of what we all look like. Do not abuse this information.Increased visibility of highlights on marked locations/target areas on the battlefield. Unmarked locations and non-target areas have had their visibility decreased out of a sense of fairness.Abilities are now a different color on the battle radial popup. The old color was bad. The new color is purple.Fixed an enemy pathfinding bug that would cause the game to freeze and then crash. Enemies have also been given maps.Applied a potential fix…

Hopefully these offer a satisfactory resolution (some issues may remain for non-standard resolutions).Added a button to dismiss summons. Have not yet implemented ability for summons to be emotionally scarred by their dismissal.Continued VO timing improvements. Because comedy is all about… … … … timing.Fixed a bug that would sometimes end resterludes in the Collector’s Estate after talking to Joy. This should increase joy.Removed Uninsured difficulty. (Because in this universe, you should always have insurance—what were we thinking?!)Fixed the missing icon for the Perseverance lanyard. Hopefully th…

- Bureaucratic Society: A Crash Course of Ledgerbound's History - 10 January 2026
The Weft: a magical plane of unfettered power. At least one sinister force has been found living there: Hy’oth. It corrupts the good nature of anyone unfortunate enough to come into contact with it by promising eternal power. In its quest for total domination, Hy’oth can manipulate entire species to do its evil bidding. No one who currently lives on Eldarra originated from the planet. The Myowan species were the first to arrive on Eldarra, having narrowly escaped the clutches of Hy’oth’s minions: The Vacari. As more refugees arrived, civilization formed. Eventually the Myowans unified Society under the official Queendom. As the centuries marched onward, memories of the Vacari faded away into an ancient myth. To restore order and peace of mind after the Caster Civil War, the Queendom established our beloved Bureaucracy! They developed complex procedures to standardize every aspect of lif…

- Dev Blog: Ledgerbound's Inspirations - 2 October 2025
You’ve seen it everywhere because it’s a core pillar of our marketing: Ledgerbound is hilarious.Our team draws inspiration from years of professional experience where bureaucracy reigns supreme and 120% of our capacity goes towards successfully shipping a game, even at the cost of our personal wellbeing. But we don’t draw the line at personal anecdotes. When it comes to delivering satirical comedy with a dash of relatable struggles, we take notes from several of The Greats and are sharing a few to give you a look into our creative process when considering the vibe of our game!These are just five of easily 15+ titles that we often see a piece of Ledgerbound in. And what’s fun for us is that none of the titles are exact 1:1s for our game, which is the entire point of making a new game to begin with. Our Game Director, Russ Nickel, puts it best here: "I don't think there's ever been a game…

Let’s dive into our playtest report, see what you thought of the demo, and learn how we’re moving forward with L…
