[Announcement] Release Delay Explained & Previous Giveaway Winners

First of all, I owe every one of you an sincere apology — FIRE STATE will not be able to launch on the originally scheduled date.

Why the delay?

The game is currently stuck at the very last step before release: Steam's build review. I also have to admit a mistake on my part — I was previously told that "you should polish your game as much as possible before submitting it to Steam for review," so I only submitted the build shortly before the planned release date. As a result, the review was rejected twice over minor issues, and each rejection means going back into the queue and waiting another week for Steam's review cycle...

Current status: the game is expected to pass review and go live as soon as the Steam review team is back at work on Monday. Thank you all for your patience and understanding!

🎁 Compensation: 66 Steam Keys Given Away EVERY DAY During the Delay

For each day the release is delayed, I will give away 66 game keys!
