Hi everyone, I have some disappointing news. ManServant's release date has been moved to March 1st, 2023. This decision involved an enormous amount of thought and deliberation, and was not taken lightly.
As many of you know, our store page was delayed for several months on Steam due to concerns over the game content. We had to give them the entire rough draft of the game for approval before the 'Coming Soon' page was approved.
This delay hurt our visibility tremendously, and we lost the chance to build interest and excitement for the game.
ManServant is a fantastic visual novel with content fans have been asking for, and a unique manga/visual novel format that allowed us to have 80 extra panels of gorgeous content. We want to give this game every possible chance to succeed. Releasing in July is not the right move.
We need more time to market to players on Steam and build our Wishlist adds. We haven't had enough time to do this because of the delay to our coming soon page.
Delaying a game that's nearly finished is a heart wrenching decision. We made a huge investment in ManServant, and need to see that pay off in order to continue to be a successful company.
The best thing to do for this game is to delay it until it's had enough time to get the exposure it needs. I hope you will all understand.
