Zombies vs. Vampires Fest - and a 55% discount on Door 407 Developer bundle!


Pupultas!

Today marks the start of Steam Zombie vs. Vampires Fest! Obviously, we couldn’t miss the event — not when the Ninth Twilight Lord keeps breaking the fourth wall (which is quite costly to fix) nagging us to promote the Song more.

After all, only in Diplomacy is Not an Option you have a story branch where a metal band of undead conquers the world to throw the greatest concert of all time by using their devoted zombie fans as a resource!

And while the Fest is on, from May 26th to June 2nd, Door 407 Developer Bundle is 55% off!

Yours, the Door 407 dev team
