We're being forced to take the game offline.

To make a long story short, we received a threat that wasn't entirely lawful in nature to shut down the game and remove it from sale. Because the threat was a real, valid threat - and we have indirectly reported it to law enforcement already - we felt that it was wise to not allow the product to be sold anymore for the physical protection of our users and staff and relations. If you have a copy of the game, we will have it available on Steam for the next couple days (...never-mind, Steam immediately removed it) you will retain it, and then it will no longer be able to be bought. If you still want to play the game, message me on Steam/Discord/Email.

We also do not have the financial capability to fight something this large in court, and that's an understatement of the century. We probably couldn't fight it in court regardless.

If you already have a valid copy of the game, you will be able to play it for the foreseeable future.

If you wish to discuss this with me, feel free to reach out to me via email in the Steam Store page. The studio will be shutting down not long after this. As much as we love this game, our personal safety is not worth continuing to work on it.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and as disappointing as this is - we got an offer we couldn't refuse.

Thanks,
Dan
