What a strange feeling—so much has happened during this time, and so much effort has gone into the game. Now, we hope you’ll enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]At its core, Hidden Pass is a story-driven experience, blending tactical combat with roguelite progression, all set in a techno-magical world. If you love immersive narratives, strategic battles, and a fresh twist on the roguelite cycle—you’re in the right place.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Good luck, Wanderers![/p][p]See you soon—August 14th![/p]
