About the Game

Become stronger by unlocking new techniques with your brush that aid you in defeating threatening foes, overcoming platform challenges, solving complex puzzles, and advancing your progress.
Discover Yourself
Explore Constance's non-linear interconnected world and discover countless secrets, abilities, upgrades, characters, side quests, and inspiring moments.

Rich Imagined World
The inner world is strongly connected to Constance's mental health journey, with each colorful biome and its unique set of enemies and characters representing different aspects of her psyche and personal history.

we've just released Patch 1.1.1 on Steam!
This update includes a wide range of performance improvements we implemented for Constance's upcoming console release on May 1st (Switch, PS5 & Xbox Series X).
It also restructures how the game's files are bundled, which will decrease patch sizes in future updates.
Here is the full list of changes (more technical this time, as this update does not include new gameplay features):
Patch Notes 1.1.1.17398
- Migrated asset management to Addressables. This should significantly reduce patch sizes going forward, as assets are now split into smaller packages. We no longer need to repackage the entire game (including all textures and SFX) when making small changes.
- Tons of improvements to memory allocation and overall performance across the game
- Game no longer crashes on GPUs without compute shader support
- Fixed a bug that caused the game to freeze on some PCs when taking a Snapshot
- Fixed Joker death VFX triggering when defeated outside of its vulnerability phase
- Fixed PuppetHand StringAttack damage
- Additional minor bug fixes and translation improvements
Thank you for playing! <3
Hey everyone,
Today our second Patch for Constance is going live!
We fixed the most pressing bugs you reported to us and already started with some map improvements. (More to come!)
When buying the Architect's Blueprint item from the shop you now get a visual indicator on the levels on your map that communicate if all secrets/collectibles have been found in a room.
Here are the full patch notes:
Level-based completion tracking added to the map (unlocks via "Architect's Blueprint")
Fixed the "Inner Canvas" achievement (if you qualify, load into any save to receive it)
PC local time shenanigans no longer break savegame loading
Snapshot button is now rebindable on controller
Fixed a bug where Jackie's quest stayed incomplete even though you had all rewards (talk to her again if that's the case for you)
Fixed a bug where Palettus sometimes glitched through the door, causing a softlock
Broken savegames are now properly ignored during load
A handful of additional fixes
In just a few days we will also release our "Post Launch Roadmap" for Constance so you are aware about the things you can look forward to in the upcoming months.
Thanks a lot for all your feedback, we will continue to iterate and improve!
Cheers,
The Constance Team
