[h2]The sea is restless, and so are we:
Dreadline: Net Quota is steering toward 1.0 launch![/h2][p]As part of that journey, we’re making a permanent price drop. From now on, the game will be just $5.99 no hooks, no bait-and-switch.[/p][p]To everyone who already bought the game. Thank you. Your early support kept this leaky boat afloat, and we’re working on a way to properly compensate you. You’ll hear more on that soon.[/p][p]When 1.0 arrives, expect more than just patched planks. We’re adding fresh content, polish, and a few surprises lurking beneath the waves. Bigger catches, nastier seas, and hats so fancy they might just distract you from certain doom.[/p][p]Grab your friends, brace for the darkness, and get ready: the haul ahead is going to be our biggest yet.[/p][p][/p][p]Sincerly [/p][p]The Mana Brigade Dev Team
