Although only being announced now, this update was released last night right before midnight in celebration of the game's first launch one year ago on October 14th at 11:40 pm PST (the game was initially launched on standalone headsets). Prior to the game's launch, me and the other devs were in a tough spot and PBG was our last hope, we only hoped to get by to pay for food and rent using the game's income. Since the release, the game has reached critical success, blowing away expectations, and now we're in a position to really kickstart our game development dreams!

We used that success to port the game over to Steam where you are now playing the game. On behalf of the rest of the team - Thank you to each of you for making this happen and being part of it, happy one year anniversary!

-Kami, Lead Developer
