Ariane in Paradise: Coming to Steam on May 7th

Link to the store page is https://store.steampowered.com/app/2878400/Ariane_in_Paradise It will require you to log in and age verify to see it. It launches on May 7th.

Steam version is largely the same as the current version on itch.io, but there are 40 Steam Achievements matching the 40 non-bonus steam achievements in the game. I had to change the achievement names as they have to be family friendly and achievements like “Goodbye Fuck” didn’t fit the bill. Price is $8.95 on the steam store, which is higher than other platforms because of the 30% cut Steam takes.

Still Steam is the biggest gaming marketplace and steam approved games get better sales. Here’s the official trailer:

Official Steam Trailer.

Because this game does not have a “demo” (I basically consider the other games to be the demo, just imagine Date Ariane on a tropical island) I decided a short “let’s play” demo would be most appropriate. This is a first day play through from the banana stand to the dolphins.:

Steam release notes:

  1. I had to remove that the game is Steamdeck compatible because the Preferences page is not easily navigable with the controllers, but it is navigable with the touch screen on the Steamdeck. The game launches just fine on Linux devices.
  2. I had to cut one scene for steam release, the ones depicting “teen” Ariane. I wrote the code to work if the pictures are there or not. If they are not there, Ariane will explained what happened with no flashback images, If the pictures are there, they will show up. I’ll provide a patch for this in the wiki after the Steam Release comes out.

Spanish version will also be available on Steam. Spanish language trailer: https://youtu.be/QbhIR0QDjhk
