Final Update: July 16, 2023 - 6:06:06 PM PST
In celebration of The Call of Karen's 3-year release anniversary, we've published one final update with a number of bugfixes and new localizations graciously provided by members of the community (huge thank you to our volunteer translators, and sorry it took so long! 😬). We've also added some new goodies to our merch store, featuring art and easter eggs from the game!
We're endlessly grateful to have shared our creation with over 200,000 players and counting. At this time, there are no further updates planned to the game - we've had an amazing run, and everyone on our team has since moved on to new adventures. If you enjoyed the game and want to see more stuff like this, check out the merch store, and follow the devs on social media.
