Hello Everyone,

Big thanks to all of you who played The Crust during Steam Next Fest! Your support and feedback rocked our world.

The Crust demo stood out as one of the most successful games at the festival, and we were thrilled with the response! Due to the success of our demo we have decided to keep it available for a while longer! This means that you will be able to keep playing for a few more days.

Your comments and bug reports are gold. Keep 'em coming on our Discord channel. We're listening and already working on some cool changes!

You can also support us in the upcoming campaign on Kickstarter, which will take place very soon. Participants of the campaign will be able to get access to the closed testing of the full version and contribute their own content to the game.

Thanks for being awesome. Let's keep this journey going together!

Cheers,

The Crust Crew
