Hi everyone,
Once Before Us has been out for almost two weeks, and I've been reading every message, clip and review. Thank you for sitting down with a partner and going on this journey together.
One thing I didn't know before launch: Steam doesn't show a review score until a game has 10 reviews. We're not there yet, so right now the store page shows no score at all, and Steam shows the game to fewer new players.
If you've played Once Before Us with someone, an honest review, even a single line, genuinely helps. Whatever you thought of it, it helps other players decide, and it helps me learn what to fix.
Thank you for playing, and for everything you've shared with me so far.
