However, we need your help!

With any new indie game, a product lives and dies by its Steam reviews. Our particular challenge with this launch is that we gave away over 1500 Steam codes to backers, friends, family, and creators.

Why is this bad?

Well, Steam likes to surface games to new players and determine success based on Steam reviews that were purchased directly from the store, NOT given out by keys! So as a friendly reminder.

Steam page:

Atomic Owl

It will not only help us algorithmically, but also help show Steam that we have people willing to support the game outside of crowdfunding avenues!

That being said, it's International Owl Awareness Day!

Please remember to leave your community's friendly owls in peace, respect their space, and if you bird watch -- please do it from afar.

Be kind to our winged wizards of the sky.

your friend,
