About the Game
The land of Glimmerwick is well known for its university of magic - and as luck would have it, you're already enrolled! In this woodland fantasy world playing music is the secret to casting spells. Ancient songs make garden work a breeze, and they're also key to exploring every corner of the island. With your trusty flute and songbook at your side you'll attend classes and join after school clubs, make friends with classmates and townsfolk, and uncover Glimmerwick's many oddities and mysteries - all while enjoying a year of seasons, festivals, curses, and witchy hijinks in this peaceful, story-driven RPG.

Kavita now sells watering cans for players who accidentally threw theirs behind their well but think it went into the well (it didn't)
Made a note in the UI clarifying songs that do not have a practiceable version, and require only the short song (like Alchemical Resonance)
Feathers don't make mushroom dough anymore (what the heck lol)

made mountain bees non-sellable
big edit of english text for spelling and typos
fixed a regression where new mail tab says “UI button”
removed some deprecated items that the crow friend could give you
There are quite a few known issues at the moment. We're doing our best to watch all avenues: steam boards, discord, and email bug reports. Just because we didn't fix it in this patch doesn't mean we don't think it's important. It just means we haven't gotten to it yet.

Made the Song of Tilling (first song in the game) a bit easier. This is to improve the difficulty ramping for the music mini game.
Fixed text issues in certain languages on the game map legend.
Fixed a soft lock with watering can by the player pond.
I will mention (as I will continue to mention forever more) that the music mini game is by no means a mandatory part of the game. You can pretty much skip it and never touch it again if you like.
It's also a game that you get better at with more attempts. Songs are not meant to be maxed out instantly upon first attempt, or even the 4th attempt.
0.466 is live!
All the updates from 0.465 are live now too (we had to roll it back for a bit)
We now bludgeon you over the head with multiple tutorials explaining how the clock works.
Added an extra layer of help to the music mini game in the options
Added a tutorial reiterating that the you don't need to achieve any stars in the music minigame to cast spells
0.465 patch is live! We nipped a few things in the bud due to popular demand, like escape for backing out of menus, and M for map (right stick click on controller).
created new default key binds for regional keyboards. NOTE - some people's key mappings will be overwritten! This will only happen once and then never again. Really sorry about this! Better to nip it in the bud now after the demo is just a few days released.
in mouse and keybaord mode "M" opens the map directly. Right stick click with controller.
kept learned star super easy to get, but made perfected a bit harder (but not as hard as before the first patch)
replaced confusing sprite for backspace in the music lesson (it looked like left arrow)
escape now closes readables and player menu
fixed a soft lock related to sitting in chairs
fixed an errant save lock related to being in water
fixed being able to enter the potions classroom early (and the related soft lock in potions class if you put down your cauldron already)
console key has been moved to "Home" (this actually happened on the patch before this)
playstation controller support in progress (some sprites will be wrong still)
made the clock stop while in player menu and shops (flute mode is a very deliberate decision to not stop clock. Please see the practice rooms in the music classroom!)
fixed "=+" markup showing up in front of \[Pick Topic] dialogue choices for some Npcs
