[h3]Schism[/h3]
Schism has a new update dropping Feb 10th that adds some end-game content, and enhanced controller support. Keep your eyes peeled for that! But the BIG news here, is that Schism is leaving Early Access MARCH 10th!! There is no discount now, so as not to conflict with that launch discount.

[h3]Tower of Kalemonvo[/h3]
While this classic-style hack n slash ARPG isn't out yet, it did just receive yet another demo update. The name of the game right now is polish, preparing for our newly set released date of MARCH 28th!!

[h2]LOGO UPDATE[/h2]
I'm burying the lead a little here. But as a part of this event, I'm also debuting a redesigned 2 Left Thumbs Publishing logo - made by Fiend Folio artist RedRachis!

[h3]It's nearly been a full year since William and Sly launched![/h3]
We're incredibly grateful for the support the game has received in that time, currently holding a Very Positive (98%) rating on Steam after 52 reviews. The game is available in 15 languages, largely thanks to the dedicated efforts of fan-translators within the community!

Since launch we've run various discounts, and were lucky enough to be included in last August's Wholesome Games Event!

Day-to-day sales tapered off a fair while ago, with new players often finding the game during seasonal sales running for 40-50% off. This is typical for Steam! The indie game economy is largely driven by big sales events. But in the interest of (re)introducing William and Sly to more fans and newcomers alike, we wanted to shift to a base price that would act as a year-round sale!

[h3]Starting today, William and Sly will be listed for $15 USD[/h3]

We'll still be participating in all the usual season sales, but with lower discount percentages early on. Now would be the perfect time to update your Wishlist, and to keep an eye out for those coming sales!

And of course the Classic Collection remains 100% FREE!
If you're totally new to the world of William and Sly, now is the perfect time to get acquainted.

Thank you once again for all the love you've shown this series. It means the world!

If you're new here and looking to learn the history, check out the video I made covering the making of the 3 games, including an interview with series creator Lukas Paakh.
