I played your game on steam and I just loved it, the visual style and music really appealed to me. I made my friend play it as well and we both nominated it for steam game of the year. Thanks for putting out such a banger, I'm really looking forward to whatever you put out next man

I gave this game a try on stream a few days ago and really enjoyed what I played! Toward the end of my play I did get stuck and that killed the momentum a bit, but I'll definitely be jumping back in to try and finish it up. Really unique premise, style and delivery. Can't wait to see more!

Hey, thanks for checking out the game!

Yes, it can be a bit obtuse. There's a "Readme" text document in the game files which has some helpful clues. I'm glad you liked the game so far!
