Thank you everyone for the support the last year and a half in early access! The game improved so much with your feedback and we were able to have some wonderful artists contribute to the raffles.

There is a 15% off sale for the next couple weeks!

For those of you about to finish the game, we're excited to bring you new game modes soon, something we'll be doing throughout the year, and any additions or content updates will be free and part of the base game. These will be accessible in the new game + menu "Treasury", which you can preview after completing the game.

1.0 builds are now live! Have a nice weekend!

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

We've heard from a lot of players over early access ask how they can support continued work with the game, and you are all incredibly kind and wonderful. We have a lot of post-game updates planned already, and would love the opportunity to work on more weird games in this world. If you liked the game and could leave a review I'm sure that helps steam's algorithm push it around, other than that just your support purchasing is enough! Thank you again

Hannah and Joseph
