Acthera Studios Bulletin – June 1, 2026

The last few weeks have been focused on something that matters just as much as new content: making Torch of Shadows a better experience for more players around the world.

Since our previous bulletin, we’ve continued refining the game based on community feedback, improving accessibility, expanding language support, and polishing the overall experience.


New Language Support

Torch of Shadows is now available in additional languages:

  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Polish (Special Thanks to Our Community Member, Tomasz Werhun)
  • Russian

Combined with our existing language options, even more players can now experience the balance between Light and Dark in their native language.

Accessibility & Quality of Life Improvements

Recent updates have focused heavily on player-requested improvements, including:

  • Key rebinding support
  • Easy Aim toggle
  • Screen Shake toggle
  • Tooltip options
  • Additional gameplay settings and customization

Our goal is to make Torch of Shadows challenging because of its mechanics, not because of unnecessary friction.

Performance & Polish

We’ve continued optimizing and refining the game across all platforms.

Recent patches include:

  • Performance improvements
  • Steam Deck improvements
  • Animation polish
  • Visual clarity improvements
  • Bug fixes and stability updates

Many of these changes came directly from player feedback, bug reports, streams, and community discussions.

Thank You For Your Feedback

As a two-person indie team, community feedback plays a huge role in shaping the game.

Every bug report, review, suggestion, stream, and discussion helps us decide what to improve next. We read far more than you might think.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their experience with Torch of Shadows.

Torch of Shadows will be participating in Steam’s Bullet Festival from June 8–15.
