NUTS is out!

I just wanted to make a quick update, to say thank you, and to list a few cool reviews that appeared, in case anybody wants to know why they should play NUTS :)

So first of all, if you're reading this and you bought the game, thank you so much! I never thought this many people would enjoy our experimental squirrel adventure, but here we are! People are playing, and finishing it, which means a lot to me and the rest of the team.

And here are some cool things:

🌟 Over 100 people have streamed NUTS on Twitch! The game has a page that combines them all, right here. I do warn you, if you haven't played, or finished the game, there are a lot of spoilers in these streams so be careful. You don't need anybody else to answer the question"what are the squirrels up to"but yourself!

🌟 Vice Games reviewed NUTS “Its visual puzzles remain modest where other games might have leaned into spiralling recursiveness; it asks questions rather than offering definitive answers. To cap it off, the game ends on a note of genuine cosmic weirdness, an opportunity for both I and the squirrels to finally escape the camera’s all-seeing eye.”

🌟 Danish music blog Soundvenue, called us a Lynchian fever-dream

🌟 Rock Paper Shotgun had a mixed response, but still said nice things! “Without a hint of hyperbole, sound designer Almut Schwacke (who also did a solid turn as the voice of Nina) has produced some of the best foley work I’ve ever heard.”

🌟 “Like Firewatch for David Attenborough fans” Gerald Lynch, TechRadar

🌟 “Dazzling artistic presentation” Mike Towndrow, Six One Indie

🌟 “It’s a testament of what can be made when working remotely” Simon Cardy, IGN

etc... etc...

There's many more, and hopefully more to come. Now I'll go back to bugfixing for a while.

Stay tuned, and tell your friends about NUTS :)
