Yes, guys! The game is out on Steam. Thank you all for your support, and especially to you flaviopaganini for buying it :). This is truly a big step for me and for those who enjoy the game. A good start will untie my hands, and I'll be able to improve the quality of the game, considering there are many hot scenes ahead. I've already started working on a new update, and I hope you'll be pleased. Thanks again, and I love you all.

So, to be crystal clear, there is nothing new in the Steam version? Besides the inherent benefits of buying it on Steam.

If one buys on Steam is Steam update same day/date as Patreon or is this going to be a delayed update like some do?

I doubt it has "new" content as in progress to the story, latest update wasn't that long ago. Maybe a bit of spit and polish :ROFLMAO: But would be interested to know too if there is anything different to the patreon release, other than the cheevos, but I don't care about those.

The Steam has the same version as here. Just fixed all the bugs, added 6 languages, added a replay gallery, etc.
Updates will be released first on Patron and then after about a week or 2 in steam, as soon as I fix any bugs if there are any and translate the new content into these 6 languages.
But yes, you buy the game once and then you get the update for free. The patron is more likely just to support the author, and not to buy games, as I believe myself :)

Yeah, I figured Steam was that way (some try to do it like Patreon and charge DLC as an episode lol), just wasn't sure if there was going to be a delay or launch same day, some don't. I didn't think there would be new content per-say, but the replay gallery is a feature I'm sure many wanted.

I would also like to add that if you decide to add wallpapers as DLC on Steam later on, I'd gladly throw my money at it.

Congrats on the Steam release! Bought it today and will post a review later.

Two things, though:
1. Won't a save issue arise between the Steam and non-Steam versions? I loaded an old save file and it worked and unlocked the achievement. They seem to share the same files and this could cause some problems if I play the game which gets released here?

2. Is the achievement description correct?

At the moment, the old save will not work correctly. But in future updates, I will make sure that both the patron and the steam version work correctly. About achievement, Thanks i will fix it now :)

We're thrilled to announce that our game, Reclaiming the Lost, is now officially available on Steam! This is a significant milestone for us, and we couldn't have reached it without your incredible support. If you enjoy the game, you can consider purchasing it on Steam and we’d greatly appreciate it if you could leave a review. Reviews really help improve the game’s visibility!

Why the Steam Release is So Important to Us


Launching on Steam is a monumental milestone in our journey. This achievement not only increases the game's visibility but also provides the essential funding needed to take Reclaiming the Lost to new heights. With this support, we can enhance your gaming experience even further.

In upcoming updates and as the storyline unfolds, you can look forward to more sexy scenes and better animations. Crafting these high-quality animations is a significant investment of time and resources. The success of our Steam release gives us the boost we need to bring even more exciting content to the game, enriching your adventure every step of the way.


We're also excited to share that we've already begun work on the next version of the game. We'll be revealing more information soon, so stay tuned!

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Sincerely,
Passion's Portal

Hello dev, could you take a look at this achievement? I'm sure I did everything I could to maximize lust with her in three saves, and this achievement still didn't unlock.

I was wondering why you removed Olivia's scenes in the Steam version?
Thank you for support. Also I would appreciate it if you leave a review. The first reviews are very important
About Olivia, I'm going to redo the scene of how they met. I didn't like the way it looks. She will play a role in the plot, so she will appear in future releases.

How many reviews does a Steam game need to get a score (positive/negative)? The game already has an excellent review made by flavio. I'm a terrible writer but still posted a review to help with the game's visibility. My embarrassing review could probably lose you customers. :ROFLMAO:

If I know correctly, then 10 reviews in general allow the game to appear on the main page

So, for the first time I got acquainted with this game at the beginning of this year. If I'm not mistaken, it was version 0.6

Some things, and especially Chloe's path, as well as herself, made a strong indelible impression on me. It really took your breath away and made you look forward to the next updates.

If you translate my emotions into monetary terms, this resulted in my support at the maximum levels of more than $ 100.

I was also pleased that the developer is really active here. And reading his early posts, I was amused by one message in which, apart from the naivety and excessive self-confidence of the developer, there was nothing wrong. I haven't touched on this topic before,but this moment has arrived.

So, here is this comment from January 7, 2023:
Thank you for the detailed feedback. About the MILF.
It will be 100%. But I don't want to do it so that in the second update the MC will sleep with all the girls. But I will not pull for 2-3 years, as in some games (Dual Family)
As Makima said
"When it comes to sex, the better you understand the other person, the better it feels."


As for the latest current update, it was pretty good, except that it was originally supposed to be Chloe's second date.

What the next update will be and when it will be (probably next year) \ is unknown, since all the information is easier to find out here than on Patreon, SS, or the closed Discord server. Seriously, I didn't even know that the author would release the game on Steam in different languages. As a result, the translator in my language wrote to the author here and VOILA! Yes, there is a commercial translation of it, but some of the wording in its translation is incorrect.



I wonder what guided Passion Portal when it put up such a price for a game on Steam? No, seriously, the price of the First Season of FreshWomen without a discount is lower than the cost of Reclaiming the Lost with a discount! Inexplicably, but a fact.



Well, I want to end with the fact that after 22.5 months after the release, the game has not reached even half of the level of plot. There is nothing to say about sexual content. Better reread the quote from two years ago above in this post. It was probably written by some dreamer.



P. S.
Oh yes, reviews. Well, they should all be of the same type: beautiful and inviting, but nothing more. Both
storytelling and sexual.
