It now offers more varied paths and choices , and should feel way more interesting across runs. It’s still a work in progress, we plan to add new node types and continue improving variety, but it’s already in a much better place, and we wanted you to try it out right away.

If you want to help us gain visibility, the best thing you can do is play the demo, tell your friends, stream, make videos, or just spread the word in whatever way you can. It really makes a difference for us, thank you!

Also, during the Fest, you’ll be able to watch a beautifully awkward replay of me (Kobal) trying to explain the game while stuttering my way through it 😅

Not exactly pro streamer material, but hey, it’s honest work. Hope you still enjoy it!
