Hello, treasured test subjects!

Just a small update for you today – Side Effects is in the Steam Next Fest! Our new updated demo (new mechanics, visuals, and basically a lot closer to the launch version than the itch.io version) is appearing as part of the big weeklong celebration of upcoming indies.

Good luck :) 

Sincerely,

Your faithful researchers at the Side Effects Team
