Jan-22-2008: Nope, no new games. I'm posting here to talk about CANDY. Most of you are probably already familiar with Pocky. I used to like Pocky more than I do now, I think it's that now I'm used to higher-quality chocolate, so the Pocky doesn't taste as nice. Still, it's fun to bite. Here are some things I like that you might not be so familiar with:

    Meltykiss - This is a cube of very soft chocolate with a light sprinkling of chocolate powder or sugar around the outside. They come in many flavors - I think the first one I had was a winter special White Chocolate. They don't quite melt in your mouth, but they're very soft, so they practically dissolve when you bite them. Yum.

    Black Sugar Caramel - Do you like good, rich American gingerbread? The soft kind, not the hard cookies? This tastes a little like that. It's molassesy and chewy and delicious.

So if you're looking for a special Valentine's treat, why not look into some unusual candies? (And maybe a copy of Fatal Hearts too?)

Dec-18-2007: Happy Holidays! Our Christmas Wallpaper is back up, and there's a Holiday Fanart Contest going on on the forums!

There's also a big sale on downloadable adventure games from now until Christmas. Use the special code 'SAVEFORTY' to get 40% off on the following adventure games for Christmas: Agatha Christie | Journey to the Center of the Earth | Law and Order | Nancy Drew | Safecracker | Voyage to the Moon

Dec-10-2007: Vote for Fatal Hearts as the Independent Game of the Year! Also, if you've ever wanted a Cute Knight T-shirt we've got a design up on CafePress.

Dec-1-2007: A new demo for Fatal Hearts is up, adding more Sparkly Bits to the search puzzles. Also, we're announcing a Christmas fanart contest - win free games!

Nov-10-2007: We will be away at a gaming convention from the 15th to the 20th of November. Support emails will not be answered in this time. If you need help with anything, try asking fellow players on the Hanako Forums in the meantime. The forums are also a good place to look if you need hints for puzzles or a Fatal Hearts walkthrough!

Oct-31-2007: Happy Halloween!

If you haven't got Fatal Hearts yet, the demo has been updated with a new first puzzle and more hints to help you through. Enjoy!

In the meantime, if you need a new game to play, here's something cute - Emerald Tale - a friendly fantasy game where you collect treasures and gems while matching or blowing up colored blocks. No cute anime girls, unfortunately, but it's very relaxing and we had fun playing it.
