How do I download “The Starlight Update”? Returning players: Make sure Steam has an internet connection and check for updates to Love Spell. If none are detected, you can right-click the game inside your Steam library and navigate to Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game files… to re-check the files against the latest version. You can also go to the Updates tab from Properties -> Updates and check off “Always keep this game updated” to ensure you get the latest updates as they become available. Once Steam has updated Love Spell, you should be able to launch it and play The Starlight Update. If you’re still having trouble updating the game, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling it through Steam to fetch the latest update. New players: Simply download Love Spell from Steam to get The Starlight Update automatically. Will my save data from the old build still be playable? The answer to this is NO. Because the original game and “Love Spell: Starlight” were created on completely different engines, there is no way to carry over saved data from the original build and game. However, “The Starlight Update” features a LOT of new content inside of each route and there are plenty of other new features waiting for you to discover for the very first time. Additionally, if you’ve unlocked any achievements on Steam for completing game content, those are yours to keep! “The Starlight Update” also includes several new achievements you can earn from playing through the new content. We highly recommend starting over with a brand new playthrough in Love Spell: Starlight! (For those who wish to navigate to specific sections of the story more quickly, feel free to take advantage of the lightning-quick “Skip” in-game function to hastily return to where you left off.) What platforms is Love Spell now available on? Love Spell: Written In The Stars ~The Starlight Update~ along with our official first DLC, Aslan’s Route, is NOW AVAILABLE on PC, MAC & Linux systems. Are there any special promotions going on for this launch? YES! The studio has released some new limited-edition physical and digital merchandise on The Studio Shop, our official website store, including an updated Official Artbook that includes all of the new visual graphics, CGs, and content. Thank you for reading and we hope you guys are excited to check out what we’ve been working so hard on! It All Starts with Starlight!
