Hello everyone!I'm happy to announce that we're on schedule to meet our September 29th release date! Right now we're wrapping up Alpha Testing, tuning the game and fixing every issue we come across.These last 11 months have been an incredible journey.

My goal has always been to create the kind of adventure game I've dreamed of playing: an epic, funny story filled with meaningful choices, challenging puzzles, and countless little surprises that reward curiosity and make every playthrough feel different.Thank You!Even though I code and draw the game myself, I would never have reached this point without the incredible people who generously gave their time to help.A huge thank you to:Hank, the brilliant sound designer and composer behind one of the biggest original soundtracks I'...
