Directive Nine News

Directive Nine will be removed from Steam in the near future.

Unfortunately we have not been working on Directive Nine for some time, and it is now clear to us that we won't be doing any more updates.

We want to thank all of you who supported us and played Directive Nine.

Special shout out to those of you who gave us feedback and suggestions along the way.

We are not completely sure of the date yet, but we are submitting the game to Steam for removal, and when they approve, it will be gone

Thank you all for playing

-The Directive Nine team
