THANKS, LIGHT. — Demo Update

It's been a while, everyone! While we've been holed up in our small dark room, hiding from the sun and grinding away, has the world been doing alright out there? A game with the same gimmick as ours didn't drop while we were gone, did it? (Just imagining it gives us chills.)

We also have some events coming up — we'd love to see you there!
