We sincerely hope you enjoy this update (or the demo for itself if you're a first-time player, welcome!). As a tiny team of 2, we depend on players spreading the word on our game, so it would mean the world to use if you wishlist the game, follow Ludokultur on Steam, tell a friend, poke your socials, join the Discord, and make some noise! 📢
Of course we'll continue looking out for feedback to improve the game in any way we can and update the demo! So again, thank you very much for being here! <3
Stay tuned and all the best,
Fabian
