Shujinkou Nominated for “Best Hidden Gem” at the New York Game Awards!

We just got some news we’re genuinely excited (and honestly a bit stunned) to share: Shujinkou has been nominated for "Chumley’s Speakeasy Award for Best Hidden Gem" at the 15th Annual New York Game Awards!

If you’ve played, reviewed, wishlisted, reported bugs, or simply told a friend about the game, thank you. “ Hidden Gem ” is exactly the kind of recognition that comes from a small & dedicated community helping a game get discovered, and we’re grateful for all of the support we've received on all platforms throughout the year.

We'd also like to say - huge congratulations to all the other nominees as well. It’s an honor to be listed alongside them ❤️‍🔥.
