First of all, thank you so much for playing our strange little black-and-white game. SDIES started as a small project Kat and I made during grad school, and we never expected it to reach so many players. We’ve read each and every review, and your support has meant so much to us.

Since then, I’ve been working on a new game: Before Closure.
