Thank you to all the people who have played Dead Wells! It's been a pretty interesting experience learning both Coding and Steam while creating this project. I still have a lot to learn and I will bring that experience into any new projects I may work on. I am still incredibly proud with this project regardless of some of its short comings and I had a lot of fun making it! As of now this will be the final update for the project! Thank you again for playing Dead Wells if you have!

The Last Thing I Will Be Doing For This Project Is Updating The Demo Version
