Goddamn it’s been an exciting month! We have been knuckling down on getting Oleander’s second chapter ready for release all month, and it has been extremely fulfilling. It’s July and we’re so excited!! So, let’s talk about what’s happening.

First, like the title suggests, Oleander's second chapter will release on July 7th (lucky sevens!). What that means for you, my dear raccoon friend, depends on whether you've purchased the game already or not.

If you’ve already purchased Chapter 2: Oleander’s second chapter will be available to you for free. On Steam the game should update automatically, while on Itchio you can download the fresh build once it’s ready. You’ll be looking for version 2.1.0.

If you haven’t already purchased Chapter 2: We are keeping the game’s price the same for this release. You can buy the game now and get Oleander’s second chapter when it comes out, or wait for the update to buy the game.

So, what have we been doing? A lot. Mugi revised Oleander’s sprites to give him more flexibility and variety in his posing, and she’s gifted us with many beautiful backgrounds. Some of them are even going to find their way into the demo, which will also be getting an update to ensure visual compatibility and continuity moving forward. Cajsa’s musical ventures have also been incredible to hear. Every time she updates the game I get giddy to hear what she’s done.

Appropriately for an update featuring a merchant, we’ve also finally got our merch store ready to go. It’ll be open for business on July 5th, so keep an eye on our socials for that update 👀

And that’s the update from June! It’s a little short here, but hopefully you’ll forgive us when Oleander’s chapter adds 35k words of story content and an additional 10k words of background/lore information via an NPC to the game in a week. We’ll see you soon.

Love,
The Rotten Raccoons Team 💙🦝
