[h3]Ahoy Sailors![/h3][p][/p][p]The Steam Awards have officially begun, and we’d be incredibly thankful if you considered nominating Beacon Patrol this year![/p][p]We think the “Better With Friends Award” fits our cozy coastal co-op vibes best. But of course, feel free to choose whichever category you feel suits the game.[/p][p]We’re also so grateful for all your support since launch. And honestly? We’d be absolutely over the moon if we could hit 100 reviews during the Steam Award season.
