Hello everyone, Gabriel here.

removedWe’ve been considering the current state of the game, and the relatively small number of players the game has had since launch. With the amount of effort that went into building this game, it is our hope that as many players get to experience it as possible, and so we have decided to remove one more barrier to entry; we have changed Unless to a free game on Steam. No in-game-transactions, just making the game free .
changedWe sincerely thank everyone who purchased the game since release, and we hope you will understand why we have made this decision.
changedWe would be happy to answer any questions you might have, though please understand, it is not within our capacity to offer refunds on the game. It would have been wonderful if Unless had caught on and achieved sales necessary to support ongoing development of the game, but this did not come to pass. Instead, we hope you look forward to future projects from Bellwood Studios that share the same polish and craftsmanship as Unless; even though they may fall under other genres.
addedWith any luck, we may see some new players on the leaderboards and joining our Discord community as a result of this transition. We hope we can count on you to welcome these new players in the same spirit of joy and accessibility.
