Over the past week, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of love for Polyarc, Moss, and especially Quill. We’ve read your stories about discovering Moss for the first time, introducing Quill to friends and family, and the moments from her adventures that have stayed with you. It has meant more to us than we can easily put into words. We’ve also seen some understandable questions about what our recent message means for Polyarc and our games. To clarify: while active development at Polyarc is winding down, we’ll continue to keep our existing games available for as long as we can. Our Moss games are still available for longtime fans to revisit and new players to discoverMoss, Moss: Book II, and Moss: The Forgotten Relic remain available on their respective platforms. We intend to keep these games accessible to longtime fans and new players alike, although our ability to provide ongoing updates and support will be more limited going forward.A lot has changed at Polyarc through the years, and many incredibly talented people have had a hand in bringing this world and its characters to life. We’re enormously proud of what we created together and grateful to everyone who has welcomed Quill into their lives along the way. Quill’s story has always been bigger than the games. 🐭💚One of the greatest gifts of creating Moss has been seeing how Quill has inspired all of you. Your fan art, stories, creations, and friendships have given this world a life far beyond the games themselves. We want that to continue.

The studio pushed a final update to the Steam demo — version 1.2 — before it goes offline at 11:59 PM PT on July 15. The update addresses mouse and keyboard players specifically:
International keyboard support added
General control polish and responsiveness improvements
The demo will not be available after that cutoff.
Bundles and soundtrack
At launch, a Deluxe Bundle option will become available, pairing the game with an Original Soundtrack composed by Jason Graves. The OST spans 46 tracks and includes remastered music from the previous Moss and Moss: Book II, unreleased bonus tracks, and music from the game's trailers featuring vocalist Malukah.
