Thank you for the playtest

After a few weeks of playtest, I'm happy with how the beginning of the game is turning out. Thank you to everyone who participated and gave valuable feedback. It helped immensely!!

Demo announce

I'm excited to announce that the Steam public demo will be available on August 20th. It will contain the first 40 or so minutes of the game.

I'm absolutely not finished polishing stuff, but it's already in a good enough state that I felt confident sending demo keys to content creators and hopefully we'll be able to see some nice shorts and playthroughs around the release date.

After the 20th, the demo will get a few updates to include stuff such as:

  • Feedback you give me

  • Localization

  • Controller support, rebindable keys

  • More polishing & QoL features as I continue working on the full game


12.000 Wishlists

I'm also thrilled because the game is closing in to 12.000 wishlists which is amazing at this stage of the development. Thanks to you all who wishlisted!
