Sucker for Love Crush Landing Crush Landing Release Notes
From the February demo to the August 31, 2026 Steam launch.
This page is the timeline for Sucker for Love: Crush Landing so the rest of the wiki does not argue with itself. It is not a changelog ripped from Steamworks. When Akabaka posts a numbered patch, a new section goes here. Until then, treat this as launch-week ground truth.
Timeline
July 23, 2025. Announcement trailer. Third Sucker for Love, Colour Out of Space energy, comet girlfriend. IGN and GameTrailers ran the clip (the announcement embed also lives on our guides hub).
February 12, 2026. Demo live on Steam (app 4371660). Crash, hand choice, color feeding, Flora, timer. PC Gamer, Noisy Pixel, and a pile of YouTubers documented the lab. See the demo walkthrough.
February 2026 Next Fest update. Akabaka: demo localized to a large subtitle set, volume sliders, Tab to hide text. Language list posted on X included Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, German, LatAm Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish.
April 2026. PAX East interview (Niche Gamer): not a god, no book, oddity, return toward First Date’s comedic-romantic shape. Galaxies Spring Showcase trailer on IGN.
August 31, 2026. Full game launches on Steam for Windows, app 3848900, published by Black Lantern Collective. Launch price $12.99 with an introductory discount. Positive user reviews around 87% of ~39 English reviews in the first days. 19 achievements (list on the achievements guide), Cloud, controller support.

Launch store facts
- Single-player only.
- English interface, full audio, subtitles on the full-game language table.
- Windows 10, 4 GB RAM listed.
- Mature content descriptor, comic body horror, no advertised explicit scene.
- Full controller support, mouse-only option, custom volume, save-anytime.
System and feature flags belong in how to play. Buyer advice belongs in the review.
Day-one community issues (not official notes)
These are Steam discussion topics, not confirmed patch items:
- Bug reports, including a possible secret ending bug.
- No story tree / endings gallery.
- Save-file complaints that date back to a demo error when creating more than three files — keep multiple Cloud slots anyway.
- Language disappointment from demo players.
- Requests for a colored items list (we wrote one: colored items).
- God ending and Maria threads.
If a hotfix lands, we will mark which of those died. Do not assume the secret is unobtainable just because one thread says bugged. Duplicate saves. Use the ending checklist.
What we will not do on this page
We will not list Roblox codes. We will not list fake patch numbers. We will not say the game is unreleased. Crush Landing is out. If you are still on a demo executable, install the paid app and start a new file before you follow the full walkthrough.
Official verification: Steam, Black Lantern Collective, Discord CGwSQknuua, ChromatoseDev. More links on the links hub.
When the first real numbered patch exists, the top of this article becomes that number, and the updates hub will say so in one sentence so Google can stop asking if the comet is still a wishlist.
How this wiki will react to a patch
- If a color rule changes, how to feed Hheily and the colored items list move the same day.
- If a secret is fixed, all endings and the ending checklist get a dated line.
- If a language is added, the review stops warning that the paid table is English-only.
- If a gallery ships, the tools hub can shrink. Until then, keep extra saves.
None of that is a reason to sit on the demo executable. The paid app is the version the full walkthrough assumes. Demo 1.59.x videos remain useful as a lab for Host and Blackout, not as a substitute for chapter two of a game that already launched. If you are reading this after a discount weekend, the introductory $11.69-style price may be gone; the systems will not be. Feed duplicates first. Slam scammers. Touch the rock with your hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
When did Crush Landing release?
August 31, 2026 on Steam for Windows. The demo was February 12, 2026.
What version should I play for walkthroughs?
The paid Steam build. Demo version tags in YouTube titles (1.59.2, and similar) are the lab, not the campaign.
Are launch bugs going to invalidate ending guides?
A secret may be bugged. Romance flags from hand / flame / Flora should still hold. See all endings.
Where do I find official patch text?
