Hello, Stewards!

Steam Next Fest may be ending, but the demo won’t be

To the over 85,000 of you who have played County of Fortune’s demo so far: the amount of questions, comments, feedback and love you’ve given has been absolutely incredible, so thank you to ALL of you.

As always, please, please do keep giving us your questions, comments, feedback and thoughts both here and in the Steam forums and in the County of Fortune Discord, as it’s hugely appreciated.

Thank you so much, Stewards – we’ll see you in the demo!
