The Lonesome Guild News

[p]Hey guild! [/p][p]The Steam Awards are upon us, and we might be a biased, but we think The Lonesome Guild would be a great fit for the Best Game on Steam Deck award! The game really levels up on the Steam Deck: the world of Etere is vibrant and beautiful, combat is well-suited to a handheld, and the story itself is perfect to pick up, fight a few battles, rest by the campfire, and put down when you’re on the go. [/p][p]If you think The Lonesome Guild deserves to win the Best Game on Steam Deck Award, you can vote to nominate us until December 1. Thanks for your support! [/p]
