Deadline: The Harvest Page, a free Friendsgiving update

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Deadline has a free update called The Harvest Page. It is our Friendsgiving event, and it is live now.

Twenty new pages

The update adds two new chapters and twenty new pages. Ten open on day one. The other ten open one a day, from November 17 to Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026.

Six Harvest inks

Turkey, Pumpkin Pie, Cranberry, Maple, Acorn and Maize. Each one moves the same way as the other inks, so only the look changes. There are also eight Harvest accessories.

New rule twists

The weekly rule twists include Quick Dry, Night Shift, Moon Gravity and Short Supply.

Bring something to the table.

Deadline is out now on Steam for $6.99, and there is a free demo if you want to try it first.

Deadline: The Midnight Page

The Midnight Page is a free seasonal event for Deadline, and it is in every copy of the game.

Chapters VI and VII wait after the campaign. They add twenty pages of cobwebs, candy corn and jack-o'-lanterns on midnight paper, and a very small wisp that needs carrying home.

The two chapters are Trick or Treat and The Littlest Wisp.

The Corrections Update

The Editor has gone over every page. The big strokes:

The well is finite now. Past par you are drawing from a red reserve. Run it dry and the draft crumples. A bottomless-inkwell assist lives in Options.
Un-draw, rewritten. Hold to rewind: your character glides back, the line unwinds, and the ink flows back into the well. Three charges per page, now visible on the HUD.
Chapter one teaches. There is on-screen guidance across the first ten pages, a clearer ink and par readout, and medal targets you can actually see.
Midnight page. A dark theme for the menus, plus a paper-brightness slider for tired eyes.
Accessibility. Hazard color options (red, orange, violet, blue), reduced flashing, and a letter-spacing assist. Assisted runs keep your records but stay off the leaderboards, so the boards stay honest.
Cutscenes at reading speed. Captions hold long enough to read, and every scene can be skipped.
Faster to the ink. A Continue button on the shelf, snappier retries, and a victory screen that shows how you did against your best.
The Pen Case mirror. Watch your character idle in its ink, style and accessory as you pick.
Versus, kinder. Rematches work properly, a leaver sends you back to the lobby instead of the shelf, ping and match stats show on screen, and there is an invite button at the table.
The editor forgives. Undo and redo, autosave recovery, and overwrite protection. Community pages now carry ▲ upvotes and ✓ cleared stamps.

Every word of it, in all nine languages.

The Weekly Page

The leaderboards now turn a fresh page every week.

Every page has an all-time board and a This Week board. The This Week board is wiped clean every Monday at 03:00 UTC. First line on the page owns the week.
