We’re celebrating an incredibly impressive milestone today: FAR: Lone Sails recently got its twenty thousandth user review on Steam! We’re immensely flattered and thrilled that so many of you took the time to leave a thumbs up on our game, thereby helping more people discover it.

FAR: Lone Sails released almost seven years ago. It was Okomotive’s first game, and the team at the time had no idea if a game like this would or could be successful and find its audience. If it had failed or flown under the radar, the chances that the studio would ever even be able to make and release another game were slim.

In the time since May 2018 though, many of you have proven beyond a doubt that our artsy, melancholy adventure games find plenty of interest, love and appreciation out here. Even today, we still receive fan emails, children’s drawings and passionate speculation and theorizing on a regular basis, which warms all of our hearts every single time.

We cannot thank you all enough for all this support! 💖

Your words, your reviews and your recommendations genuinely make a huge difference and we are infinitely grateful. Without you, we couldn’t have continued making FAR: Changing Tides and Herdling. Let this wonderful occasion be your invitation to play (and perhaps review?) FAR: Changing Tides if you haven’t gotten around to it yet, and to add Herdling to your wishlist so you’ll hear about it the moment it becomes available this Summer.

Good News for anyone who's been holding off on giving FAR: Lone Sails a try! The game is currently 90% off in Steam's Daily Deal.

A perfect opportunity for anyone who hasn't gotten around to playing our atmospheric vehicle adventure debut game yet. Or maybe you already love FAR: Lone Sails and want to gift it to a friend?

And if you've already played both FAR: Lone Sails and FAR: Changing Tides (which is also 70% off right now!) and want more, make sure to check out our upcoming next game, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3047750?utm_source=steam&utm_medium=fls-news&utm_campaign=sale

]HERDLING[/url]:

While HERDLING is not a direct sequel to the FAR games, it most certainly reflects some of their essence.

In HERDLING, you undertake a journey with an ever-growing herd of strange creatures called Calicorns. From a desolate city, through fields and forests to lofty mountain peaks, you guide your Calicorns on their path, protect them from harm and discover what lies beyond the horizon.

If you enjoyed FAR: Lone Sails, we believe you’ll have a good time with HERDLING as well. We invite you to [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3047750?utm_source=steam&utm_medium=fls-news&utm_campaign=sale

- Fixed an issue where level sections were not loaded in rare cases.

- Added support for Steam Deck
