First of all, we’d like to thank you for supporting and playing Garden of Witches’ Early Access release. Your many comments, reviews, and words of encouragement have been a tremendous source of strength for us. Since the Early Access launch last week, we have been fixing critical bugs based on your feedback while also carefully reviewing every piece of feedback you have given us. There’s a lot to take in, but we’ve had extensive discussions about how to improve the game and the direction of our future updates. Today, we’d like to share a brief summary of all the patches we’ve done during the past week as well as some of the feedback and issues we have collected. Then, we’ll talk about the upcoming updates we have planned. Patch Notes 0.5.0_b102 As a rule, we usually share patch notes via announcements whenever there is an update to our game. However, due to the urgency of some bugs, we rolled out a few updates in advance. We apologize for the delay in sharing the patch notes, but in the future, we will make sure to announce patch notes in a timely manner. Here are fixes included in this update: Fixed an issue where sound effects would not play after the ending of the final chapter. Fixed an issue where players could acquire more than four scissor attributes under certain conditions. Fixed an issue where after obtaining the Cracked Swan Doll relic, tags removed by choosing the Crying Ouija Board could still appear as selectable attributes with the Sewing Kit relic. Fixed an issue with the endgame content score tracker where the most recent score was displayed instead of the highest score. Fixed an issue in Chapter 1 where rewatching the ending scene would result in only being able to fast-forward the cutscene instead of allowing the player to skip it. Fixed an issue where if the player moved to another chapter before clearing Chapter 5 and then cleared that other chapter, then they would not be able to return to the chapter they were originally on. Known Issues The following issues have been confirmed and reproduced by the dev team, but they require additional time to resolve. We are doing our best to identify the causes and to fix them as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience in the meantime. Some relics do not function according to the values in their descriptions. The mouse cursor does not disappear during gameplay under certain conditions. There are long loading times when entering a combat zone for the first time after launching the game. FPS drops during some boss fights, especially with Nahatra (including the second phase). We have identified some optimization-related issues and are currently working on them. We plan on releasing a public beta build to test these fixes, so we would greatly appreciate your participation! Players occasionally get stuck in walls when using the Ambush skill. Enemies sometimes get stuck on objects and a...Team Tapas | Korea PlayX4 Recap & AppreciationMay 26, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings from Team Tapas!

We’ve been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the Early Access version of Garden of Witches, and after a long wait, we’re thrilled to finally share some exciting news: Garden of Witches is launching on Steam Early Access on May 23, 2025 at 5 AM EDT / 9 AM UTC! 🎉 To thank you for your patience and support during the long wait, we’re excited to give you a sneak peek at what’s coming in Early Access—and how it will differ from the full version. 📖Main Story – Chapters 1 to 5 In Early Access, you will be able to enjoy the main story of Garden of Witches up to Chapter 5. The story you experienced in the demo will finally continue, and the backstories of various locations and characters will be revealed one by one. Join our quirky coven of witches as they embark on a journey to bring the garden back to life. ⚙️System Expansions – Key elements added to each chapter The real fun of Garden of Witches is just getting started. In the Early Access build, new systems will be unlocked gradually as you progress through the chapters, adding depth to your play and making your strategic choices increasingly important. 🧬Chapter 2 – Synergy System {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/f8dafb7ec9717c1d304612667dbcab11bb8e3b2a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/361dce83475226e9e81812228942274761449caa.png (This is a development-in-progress image; its content is subject to change.) Synergies are powerful additional effects that are activated when you collect 2, 4, or 6 Attributes of the same “tag." Effects are especially powerful upon collecting 6 of the same tag, and you can also combine multiple tags in groups of two or four to target multiple effects simultaneously. It's up to you whether you wish to focus on a single tag for maximum effect or mix and match tags to create a more flexible build. This system will allow for a wider range of strategies, making it easier to adapt to challenges of various kinds. 🔮Chapter 3 – Relic System {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/5ded6f4b48985712f200b80d45455f3bf219bcb6.png (This is a development-in-progress image; its content is subject to change.) Starting from Chapter 3, a new Relic system will allow you to add more depth to your battles. Each Relic provides a unique and powerful effect, and players can use them to immediately fill in gaps in their ability or strategize to maximize their power later in the game. The key to using these Relics effectively is to understand your current playstyle, and then carefully select the Relics that best complement it. A split-second choice can turn the tide of battle and determine the direction of your entire build. ✂️Chapter 4 – Weapon Select System {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/c836ec93dcb97bc37ea9ee7a063888cc04ef68aa.png (This is a development-in-progress image; its content is subject to change.) In Chapter 4, you will be able to choose between different weapons. Each weapon has its own unique battle style and method...Patch Notes v0.4.3Mar 14, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/4b8a4417a301c62ccb50c0a87a5febe4acc1fa7f.png In this version, we have adjusted the overall level of difficulty to make the game easier and more accessible. While the story remains unchanged, several systems, UI elements, combat mechanics, and more have been updated to better align with the upcoming Early Access version. For example, the two bosses in the demo will now have only one phase instead of two, and their HP has been scaled to match the difficulty. The damage of boss patterns has also been adjusted to be different depending on the type. Players familiar with the original demo may find this version easier. However, please understand that this is an adjustment to align the feel of play with the Early Access and full release versions. ※ Please note: This demo update will reset your existing save data. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the incompatibility with previous saves, but the reset is necessary due to system and balance adjustments. Records of your previous playthroughs will be deleted after the update. A number of other balance adjustments and improvements have also been made. Please see the full patch details below! Demo Patch Notes v0.4.3 System Difficulty levels have been added. Three difficulty levels can be selected at the start of the game. Normal Recommended for players experienced with action games. Casual Dash cooldown decreased by 1 second Momentarily immune to all damage while dashing Damage taken is decreased by 25% HP of all enemies is decreased by 25% Story Dash cooldown decreased by 1 second Momentarily immune to all damage while dashing Damage taken is decreased by 50% HP of all enemies is decreased by 50% Difficulty can be freely changed later in Sil’s Home. Upgrade system has been completely overhauled. Achievement system has been adjusted. Achievement content has been partially adjusted. Rewards have been adjusted to reflect changes in content. Dice system has been added. A new currency called “Dice” allows players to modify choices in the selection screens for spells, attributes, passives, and more. Dice can be earned through a variety of in-game methods. Spell Slot Assignment feature has been added. When acquiring a second spell, players can now choose which magic hotkey slot to assign it to. Spells can be placed in the specific slot you desire. UI Improvements Overall structure of the UI has been overhauled, with changes made to most elements. Key changes: Gear → Book Renamed to Book to provide a more intuitive way to view information about each spell and attribute. Stats → Status You can now see your current status while playing, as well as the spells, upgrades, and attributes you have earned. A full map view has been added. At the start of play, a window will appear for a short period of time that shows the overall structure of the map. Battle All boss battles have been reduced to a single battle phase. Damage has been adjusted for all monsters and boss patterns. Boss and...Steam Demo Update Coming SoonMar 10, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsGreetings from Team Tapas! We’d like to start this announcement by expressing our gratitude. We sincerely appreciate everyone who has played our demo and shared their valuable feedback. Previously, we announced that the demo would be taken down. However, instead of shutting it down, we have decided to update and maintain it! For this upcoming update, we have implemented new systems and difficulty adjustments that we were planning on releasing for the Early Access version, but the playable content of the demo will remain the same. Only the early portion of the game will be playable. Demo Period & Key Changes Playable Content: Just like the previous demo, players can only progress up to the second boss. Operational Period: The demo will remain available until the game’s Early Access launch. After that, it will be discontinued. Update Details: We have improved various systems and made sound and visual enhancements. Important Notes Save data from the previous demo version will be reset. Save data from the updated demo version will also be reset when we release the full version of the game. To end, we’d like to express our appreciation one more time. Thanks to your valuable feedback and ideas, we have been able to improve the game beyond what we could have done alone. We look forward to hearing more of your thoughts as you play the updated demo. Your feedback plays a crucial role in helping us refine our game to perfection. Stay tuned for the demo update coming soon! 🔥 Thank you!

Team TapasEarly Access Release ScheduleNov 29, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/db7d566d4248e54d2d80327287c9ef22523cdcef.png Greetings from Team Tapas! It’s hard to believe December is almost upon us. We’ve been so immersed in development that we didn’t notice how Christmas carols have already crept into the streets. We know you’ve been eagerly waiting for us to give further updates, so before the year ends, we wanted to share our current plans with you. Early Access We have been carefully reviewing all the feedback you have given us from the demo, and we are currently developing the Early Access version. Our target release date for the Steam Early Access is May 2025. The demo version of the game you played only had two bosses and was only a part of Chapter 1. The Steam Early Access version will expand the game with three more bosses and complete the game’s story with four additional chapters (total of five story chapters). In each chapter, you will face the same bosses, but their attack patterns will change and the overall difficulty of each stage will increase. On top of that, each chapter will introduce new systems for you to strengthen Sil, so we hope you will enjoy experimenting with different builds and find strategies to defeat the increasingly challenging bosses. Below is a detailed outline of our roadmap leading up to our Steam Early Access in May. Roadmap Taipei Game Show Participation (January 2025) For the Taipei Game Show, we will have an updated demo that includes all of Chapter 1. Players will be able to fight against five bosses and see how the story progresses. This will be a valuable opportunity to receive direct feedback from users in person. To prepare for this event, our entire development team has been fully committed to perfecting this demo version of the game using all of the feedback that you have given us. Further details about the game show will be shared later. Stove Early Access Release (March 2025) ※ The schedule has changed from February to March. Initially, we planned to release the Stove Early Access simultaneously with the Steam Early Access. However, as this is our first PC platform release and because we are a small indie development team, we thought that we would face a lot of challenges in terms of staffing, localization, and other issues. So we are planning to first release a partial version of Garden of Witches (up to Chapters 2-3) in Korean on the Stove store. Our focus for this release will be on testing and gathering feedback from Korean users, so that we can refine the game for the Steam Early Access. Since the Stove Early Access release will be a partial version of the game, we will offer the game at a slightly discounted Early Bird price. ※Please note that even if you do not live in Korea or do not speak Korean, you can still purchase the Stove version from the Stove store, but only the Korean version of the game will be available until the Steam Early Access launch. Once the Steam Early Access is released, the same content and multilingual support wil...Garden of Witches - Original SoundTrack TeaserOct 30, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHello, this is Team Tapas! Today, for all of you who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Garden of Witches, we’re excited to share news about our game’s OST! We’ve prepared a special trailer, which includes a sneak peak of some of the OST tracks currently in production. You may even recognize some of these tunes from the demo version of the game! 🙂 The OST is set to be released in line with the Early Access launch of Garden of Witches and will be available as an additional DLC on Steam.

User Feedback and Future Updates for Garden of WitchesSep 25, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/4b8a4417a301c62ccb50c0a87a5febe4acc1fa7f.png Greetings! We are Team Tapas. We would like to send our sincere gratitude to everyone who played the demo version (v0.3.8) of Garden of Witches. We are currently receiving a lot of feedback and are carefully reading through all of it. While some changes can be implemented quickly, and others may take longer, we aim to update the aspects that can be addressed first before Steam's Next Fest begins. #Improvements to Early Stages of Gameplay It seems that more attempts than expected are required to defeat the first boss. Even after understanding the boss's patterns, the high cost of upgrading movement speed and scissors attack speed seems to demand excessive retries. Additionally, the first area has more general combat sections compared to the second area, which may cause the players to feel tedious. As a result, we plan to implement the following changes: - Reduce the cost and number of stages for upgrading movement speed, scissors attack speed, and dash recharge count - Shorten the general combat section leading to the first boss by one stage. #Skill Balance Internally, we believe the overall skill balance is fairly good. However, since not all systems are revealed in the demo version, it might appear somewhat unbalanced. Particularly, magic skills with utility effects still deal similar damage when compared to pure offensive spells. However, we anticipate this will change with the systems introduced after the full release, potentially reversing the performance and providing new experiences as mechanics evolve. For now, we will focus on improving the usability and tooltips of the skills in the demo version, and we welcome further feedback. #Boss Battle Difficulty The boss battle difficulty in the demo was set at a maximum level, which is barely clearable by experienced players without upgrades. As a result, those who are new to this game genre or boss pattern mechanics may find it somewhat difficult. However, most players seem to clear the boss without major issues after becoming familiar with the patterns and upgrading a few key abilities. Therefore, we plan to maintain the current difficulty for boss battles in this demo. In the full release, there may be options such as adding difficulty settings or adjusting phases depending on the overall length of combat. #UI, UX For players new to the game, we will work on reducing the amount of excessive information or addressing areas where information is lacking. Additionally, we aim to make any difficult-to-understand explanations more intuitive. While there will always be room for improvement, we will continue to refine the game's usability as much as possible. #Bug Fixes We are working to resolve identified issues, such as the problem where using an ambush attack on enemies in the corner causes players to move outside the map and the issue where the exploding butterfly doesn't disappear when transitioning to phase 2 of the first b...Garden Of Witches DEMO Released!Sep 19, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45149819/4b8a4417a301c62ccb50c0a87a5febe4acc1fa7f.png Hello, everyone!
