桂花落

桂花落 (Osmanthus Falling) is a narrative puzzle game about an elderly hard-of-hearing woman spending her last day in her hometown. It was developed over roughly three years by a three-person indie studio (脆报纸工作室) and published by OKJOY, officially launching on Steam on February 6, 2026. The game launched with a charitable initiative: the studio pledged to donate 5% of first-month sales revenue to a Chinese hearing-impairment charity (益耳行动 / Yier Action), with a guaranteed minimum of ¥10,000. In their one-month anniversary post on March 8, 2026, the studio confirmed the donation was fulfilled, reporting total sales across all platforms of 6,858 copies. This post also confirmed that the studio is continuing to update the game — specifically, player-submitted stories and memories are being embedded into game scenes as Easter eggs in subsequent updates, and a free OST compilation is being prepared for release. On April 29, 2026, the studio posted a final update confirming the charitable campaign concluded successfully, thanking players and indicating the studio intends to continue creating ("奔赴下一场山海" — "onto the next adventure"), though no specific new game or DLC was named. The only DLC listed is the game's soundtrack, which has already been released. There is no season pass, no unreleased DLC, and no battle pass or live-service structure. However, the March 8, 2026 developer post explicitly stated that more player story content would be incorporated into future game updates, meaning the game is still receiving meaningful content additions. The studio has communicated actively since launch, with their most recent post dated April 29, 2026 — less than two months before today's date of June 20, 2026. The game is within the recently-launched window (released February 6, 2026), but the developer's own communications make the content status clear enough that the recently-launched signal is not needed: the studio is actively updating the game with community-sourced content additions and has a free OST still to release.
