Saikono Studio Renews Its Horror Visual Novel Zaychik

The Russian team Saikono has decided to polish and improve its project, the horror visual novel Zaychik. This announcement marks an effort to elevate the quality of the experience after listening to feedback from its player community. 🐇

A Relaunch with Comprehensive Improvements

The studio is not limited to fixing bugs, but seeks to implement deep changes. The goal is to maintain the unsettling essence of the original while addressing the aspects pointed out by users. The work focuses on two fundamental pillars: the visual section and the narrative.

Key Areas of Improvement:
  • Graphics: Renew backgrounds, redesign characters, and optimize the user interface.
  • Story: Refine the plot and dialogues to achieve a more cohesive storyline and a more effective narrative pace.
  • Experience: Polish the overall presentation to offer a more refined and immersive product.
“Sometimes, delivering a quality scare requires going back and sharpening the fangs of your story well, or in this case, the rabbit's ears.”

Availability and Commitment to the Community

Saikono has confirmed that this renewed version of Zaychik will arrive as a free update. This will benefit all users who already purchased the game on digital platforms.

Distribution Details:
  • Free: The revision will have no additional cost for original owners.
  • Platform: The update will be applied in stores like Steam.
  • Timeline: The studio has not announced a specific date, but states that work is progressing and will share updates soon.

A Step Forward for Saikono
