Repeated intro

Hello survivors, First of all, thank you for your support and patience throughout the last year. Your dedication to providing critical feedback, suggestions, bug reports and technical troubleshooting during our demo was a literal game changer. With your help, we have been able to lock in the vision for our Early Access release - we have been in the icy trenches since - focusing on improving the core elements of the game, including stability, performance, and key gameplay foundations.

In other words, it’s for the best. We know it sucks to wait, but hang in there and let the devs cook, it will be worth it. And, for those of you that absolutely can’t wait to play, we will be hosting a playtest prior to the release. You can already request access on the store page:
