The Kraken Wakes: A Fond Farewell To Steam

2024-04-22

Firstly, we wanted to say thank you to you, our Kraken Wakes community, for all of your support over the past few years. We loved creating The Kraken Wakes and sharing our development journey with you, and we’ve enjoyed seeing how players interact with the characters and story world over the last year. Sadly, due to a change in our business focus, we can no longer provide the level of technical support needed to maintain a game like The Kraken Wakes, so it’s with a heavy heart that we’ve made the decision to withdraw Kraken from the Steam store. Players who’ve purchased the game already will still have access to it, though we can’t guarantee that any bugs encountered during gameplay will be able to be fixed. If you have any questions about the removal of Kraken from Steam, you can contact us via our Charisma.ai Discord.

At some stages, you are even restricted to simple yes/no...

this is an entertaining game whose topic is right up my alley. i have only played one game so far, which prompted you to type out stuff and that one didn't go too well. still i gave this a chance and i'm glad i did so. i have encountered only one bug, which made the game close, but since there are auto-saves at the start of any part, that wasn't a big deal, only a few wasted minutes. the story is captivating,...

Loved the first few hours but the final chapters were very weak and the game ended abruptly. The AI voices were not natural though its understandable. It could certainly have been much better had the animations been smoother as well. The game also crashed many times mostly just before the loading screen for a new chapter. I had to redo a few chapters just because of that. There was also an issue of the game...
