This update sounds really thoughtful honestly, the way you reworked existing scenes based on what felt too obvious or disconnected shows a lot of care for the actual experience, not just adding more content for the sake of it. The Honey Room and Enchanted Conservatory sound like great additions too.

Are you planning to keep this growing as a browser release, or is a bigger platform like Steam something you've got in mind down the line? Hidden object games like this tend to do really well there with the right audience.

I’m continuing to develop the browser version - it will grow without planned ending for now -, and I’ve also started exploring a Steam release. It’s still in the planning stage, so there’s no release date to announce yet, but I’d love to bring Hidden Corners to Steam as a polished standalone game. Thanks for the encouragement!

That's great to hear, a Steam release could genuinely do really well for this, especially with how thoughtful and polished the experience already feels even in its early stages. The hidden object audience on Steam tends to be really loyal once they find the right game.

Since it's still in the planning stage, this is actually a great time to start thinking about visibility too, early wishlist building and page optimization make a real difference once you're ready to launch. I help indie devs with exactly that kind of thing, wishlist growth, visibility, Discord and community setup, that sort of support. I also have an Upwork account if that's ever useful for you to check my work or go through a more formal process, happy to share it whenever you'd like.
