A Thank-You Letter from the Development Team

[p]Hello, everyone![/p][p]It has now been a week since the release of Stray Children. [/p][p]All of us here are so happy that the game has started its journey across the entire world, and we’re very grateful to everyone who has chosen to play it in its first week of release. [/p][p]We have been reading all the thoughts and impressions that you’ve shared, every day of the past week. Long messages, short messages, words of both praise and thoughtful criticism — all of it is extremely precious and valuable to us, so, thank you. [/p][p][/p][p]Lately, what we’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about is this: maybe creating a game is also its own sort of journey. [/p][p]If “starting to create a game” is the beginning of that journey, then it’s only when you play that game, feel something because of it, and continue to carry those feelings with you, that the journey finally reaches its end. [/p][p]So, thank you for playing, and we hope you continue to walk with Stray Children. [/p][p]With gratitude,[/p][p]Onion Games[/p][p][/p][p]P.S.: The launch discount will be ending on November 9th. If you’ve been curious about the game, this might be a nice time to pick it up. hum-hum♪ [/p]
