Over 60,000 demo downloads. We had to pick our jaws up off the floor 🤯
We're a small indie team and watching this many people find GRAIN ROT, jump into the Outpost, and survive the Deep Layers together has been one of the most surreal and humbling experiences we've had making this game.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much. Every single one of you, Scrappies.
⭐ IF YOU ENJOYED IT, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW
