Step #2 for world domination has been completed! 💪

Hello fellow co-conspirators!

At first there was the demo and from there we got the game's release candidate. Now it has been unleashed into the world as a free Prologue and the results......

This is super exciting! Not only are people loving the game; we've had so many downloads it actually cracked the charts on Steam's main page!!!

This is way beyond my expectations. Who knew there was this much pent up demand for world domination ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(of course YOU knew. If you didn't suspect it, you wouldn't be part of this conspiracy, haha)

It's been a hectic week, fielding questions from players, recieving and processing feedback and fixing bugs as they pop up. The response was so high that it crashed my analytics system and the auto-bug reporter overloaded gmail!

After some last minute elbow grease however, we got it all under control ;)

I want to give a huge shoutout to the discord community who has been key in welcoming newcomers and finding hard bugs. Extra special thanks to the discord Inquisitors (@AI & @GermanPantoffel) and to @SomeoneUnknown for their help. If you want to learn more what happens in our community, join us!

So if the prologue was the second step, what comes next? Well full launch of course😏 Right now I'm fielding bugs and integrating steam achievements, but that is it. The response was so positive that we feel pretty confident in launching the game soon. There's no date yet, but when it exists, you'll be the first to know.

Happy conspiring!
Rafa
