First off: Happy Halloween! 

We would like to thank everyone so much for your support and feedback during the past few months! A lot has happened, both in the context of this game (and also the real world in general).

What’s next? 

*For our dear Mac players: We are aiming to get a release for you later today!! 

This game started as a senior capstone project. None of us could have imagined continuing to work together for so long but we’re so excited to finally be able to share these updates in a more polished little game, and can now mark Cafecadabra as ‘released’. 

If you run into any bugs, please let us know by either commenting on our itch page, or talk to us directly through our very own discord server! We will still do smaller patch updates as needed. [list of known current bugs]

Moving forward, we are hoping to find the support and funding to expand it into a full-length game. Once again, thank you all so much! We hope you enjoy Cafecadabra, and have a safe and happy holiday season!
