In March 2020, the first Lockdown started due to COVID.

That's when I decided to focus on one goal: release a first (small) game on Steam. That's how Breaking Lockdown was born, a (too?) frustrating game required (too many?) skills, quite influenced by the fact in 2020, the outside world was hostile.

However, Breaking Lockdown is not only a dark game. Working on it was my way to (safely) break the lockdown, make concessions to release it in 12 weeks, and most importantly, realize I had to go full-time on game development.

As part of Steam Scream Fest, I've put Breaking Lockdown at -75%. So, if you guys want to show your support, buying the game and writing a review would mean a lot to me!
