Hi everyone, despite my best efforts in the year that has passed since release, Syzygy has remained an extremely obscure game with few and sparse sales only at launch and during discounts.

addedQuite some time has passed since the last copy sold but, if you bought the game and you feel that I am in any way doing you wrong with my decision, please request a refund. I understand. I still want to thank anyone who decided to purchase the game in the past, left a review or reached out to share some thoughts on the game with me: your support is invaluable.

Hi everyone, despite my best efforts in the year that has passed since release, Syzygy has remained an extremely obscure game with few and sparse sales only at launch and during discounts. I have failed completely at promotion, for which I certainly have not a natural talent but a strong aversion. Nevertheless, I worked hard on Syzygy for many years because I wanted to create something that could genuinely surprise and lift the spirit of those who play it, but now seeing that less than a hundred people were willing to engage in the experience is most painful. I want to believe that Syzygy is worth playing and that the only obstacle that separates it from people who might enjoy it is an issue of discoverability.

Therefore, I am planning to make the game freely available to everyone in a few weeks, hoping that this will be a new opportunity for Syzygy to flourish.
