changedWith the Steam Board Game Festival just around the corner, we want to take a moment to thank all the beta testers, demo players, streamers, and fellow indie developers who shared genuine and thoughtful feedback on our demo. Thanks to you, we’ve made it this far - and the number of wishlists we’ve received has exceeded our expectations by a wide margin.
